If you want to feel better, be kind to someone else. This Smile in the Arena stuff is not bullshit. Spreading kindness, through at least a smile to others, drops a pebble and the ripples spread and spread. The ripples change the world.
I received this letter from my mother. “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” Aesop. The letter calls me “dear one” and goes on to show how spreading kindness is so significant to others, no matter how small we “think” it is. My mother, as usual, backs her stance with not just her opinion but through the Journal of Experimental Psychology and a professor at the University of Texas, Austin.
Great work mom, I agree with all of my heart what we try to do. But, enough writing about it, let’s go live it! See you out there in the arena mom, I know I will meet you there, with both of us smiling.
