"Because Time is not something to be measured with the eyes,
but by the Heart, it's never too late to go and change."
Ana Claudia Antunes
It is important to follow our first instincts, before we talk ourselves out of them. An accident happens or a person becomes ill and we immediately think of some small act of kindness we can offer; except, we begin convincing ourselves there are plenty of family members or other neighbors that are probably on the scene. So we back down and do nothing.
Is it our ego who speaks over our attempts of kindness? From no where the voice says whatever you make they will throw it away or the dessert isn't fancy enough or you will simply appear to be nosey. These ridiculous statements eventually over ride our instinct to serve, to help, and to be kind.
If you like to play the piano, make healing music for your community and the world. If you enjoy singing, use words to calm the soul. If you don't like bringing attention to your lovely self, leave a favorite book in a public restroom. Carry a disposable bag in your car with a toothbrush and toothpaste; granola bar; and handiwipes to be given to a homeless person. The reaction of kindness is instinctual until our monkey mind messes with us. A great place to start is with your self. Be kind and then pass it on.
