"A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal."
Steve Maraboli
Even when we are feeling totally helpless, there is someone nearby that we can help. Whether we hold a door open or offer a smile, we have no idea how we have just changed the direction of someone else's life. We must never allow ourselves to become so absorbed in our own helplessness that we ignore the world around us.
And speaking of the world around us ... we may feel totally at loss about the chaos everywhere. There are choices, however. We can send either a positive email or a quick text to friends. We can reach out to trusted soul sisters, get out in nature or journal to our hearts content. It is best to give voice to our fears to make room inside for peace.
There are endless ways to extend our heart. Whether we feed and water the birds or donate an old box fan to a charity, we are helping support positive movement. We can plant beautiful flowers in our yard for those passing by to feel joy in their presence. When we give generously from our heart, life gets better.
