Today's
Meditation:
"You
never know." If we can keep these three words
in mind whenever we're faced with a decision that might
make a difference in someone else's life-- no matter how
small a difference it may be-- then we might always make
the choice to do the nice thing, the kind thing, the
compassionate thing.
And
that small act of ours may just turn someone's day
around. The other person may need exactly that which
we've given, just as a glass of water is just what a
thirsty person needs-- it's not all that much, when all is
said and done, but its effect is amazing.
"Do
it anyway." It really doesn't matter if you see
any results or not, because we shouldn't be doing things for what we
may get in return. We should be
able to let go of expectations and just give to the world
and other people because we want to add to the positive
energy of the world, not because we want to get something
back. And when we can let go of expectations,
then we truly can change other people's lives by
contributing to them in positive ways.
Don't
be afraid that a kind act will go unnoticed. It doesn't
matter if it does. The important thing is that it's
been done, and a contribution has been made to the
collective good of the world. Do your kindness and
release it to life, and then find somewhere else where you
can do another kindness. You'll be richer for it, as
will the world.
