LONG POST BUT PLEASE READ: THANK YOU
In celebration of the nine people’s life’s that were lost this past Sunday in the helicopter accident. I challenge you to be a champion like Kobe for each of these people and their families.
Perform 9 acts of kindness today or sometime this week.
9 Acts of Kindness, I suggest.
1. Tell someone who you love dearly. How much you love them. Look them in their eyes and tell what they mean to you. Please give them a long hug and embrace.
2. Reach out to someone you have not talked to in a long time. Call them and tell them how much they mean to you. Even though you might not speak, often, they mean the world to you.
3. Help some who is homeless or in need. It can be anyone who needs support as you see it.
4. Shake a hand of a total stranger. Tell that person you hope they have a great day, and you were glad they were born. Bless them with happiness, success, and good health.
5. Pay for a coffee, lunch, dinner, or groceries of someone you do not know.
6. Tell a military, veteran, first responder, police officer, fireman, or medical personnel thank you for your service. Thank you for protecting us.
7. Reach across the aisle to someone who has different values and beliefs than you and tell them you love them as well. No matter what religious, political, identity, or spiritual belief they bring to the table. This act of kindness can be the first step to a healthy co-difference of values and beliefs relationship.
8. Reach out to someone who has made you angry or hurt you deeply. Email, text, phone, or send a letter to someone who you have been holding so much anger towards. Tell them you are working on forgiveness, and you wish them nothing but the best. This act of kindness is hard because anger/hurt is rooted in our soul, but this act can be the first step to you releasing this anger. Not forgetting but forgiving.
9. Help an older person with some chore, visit, lunch, dinner, or visit them in a nursing home.
10. BE KIND YOURSELF. Love yourself, no matter your size, looks, what you have or don’t have. Go to the mirror; look yourself in the eye. Tell yourself you’re loved! Practice all week. No matter your past, what you have done what you have not done. Love who you are today! This is the best gift you can give to yourself. If being kind to others is your truth. Then be kind to yourself as well.
Please share this with others. Our world needs to be kind and love one another no matter what.
