Give to get. It’s a simple concept, but hard to remember when you most need to “get” something.
If you need kindness today, remember that you have an infinite capacity to give kindness within you. Start with a small act or gesture toward someone. Keep it going. Soon, you’ll receive kindness yourself – maybe not from the people you were kind to! In fact, maybe it will just come from yourself, as the acts you perform allow you to take some pressure off your own shoulders.
Or maybe one small act of kindness starts a great reaction and you end up with a new friend.
Whatever you feel like you’re needing, give it. It may seem strange to think “I need money, so I should give it,” but consider – you don’t need money, you need something else. Finding out what that is and giving some of it in a different way can be a boon.
Whatever you need today, I sincerely hope you get it.
