Day 11 - Living Kindness
“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.Kindness in giving creates love.” ― Lao Tzu
Kindness is the gracious gesture of a loving heart. Genuine kindness can’t be faked or forced. It must come straight from one’s center of being. It is the soul’s recognition that another person deserves the same love you give yourself. Kindness bridges our isolated individuality and shows us we are connected at our core. This is how our happiness expands beyond our ego boundaries and transforms our sense of self.
Meditation today will enliven our core of love and encourage its movement out into our lives as kindness and joy. Every loving gesture is an expansion of our happiness.

Question 1 of 4
Identify and write your plan for a
kind act you can do for yourself today. Maybe it’s getting a foot massage, or
buying yourself a bouquet of flowers. Whatever it is, make sure you offer it to
yourself consciously, and with a full heart.

Question 2 of 4
Consider, and write a plan to share
an act of kindness today with someone you love. Personalize it so they know you
thought about it. It doesn’t have to be a gift, it can be a thoughtful comment
or gesture.

Question 3 of 4
Write down how you can share an act
of kindness with a complete stranger today. You can let the opportunity present
itself spontaneously as you wait in line at the café or while driving to work.
Again, it doesn’t need to be a grand gesture, an understanding smile or letting
someone into your lane are all easy acts of kindness. The important part is
being alert to that opportunity to show kindness.
