Not a One Time Event

I read one sentence 13 years ago that continues to stick with me and really changed my life: “Kindness is not a single act but a lifestyle.”  When you live in the mindset of kindness, it ripples out to everyone you encounter.  Sometimes, you are making differences in the world without even knowing it.  One single event can totally change someone’s life.  People ask why I do some of the things I do to help people.  The answer is easy for me: “Because I can, because the good Lord has blessed me with the resources to help whether it is financially or emotionally, because it’s good for my heart, and because it is the right thing to do”

I am so fortunate that I am going to do any and everything I can to help someone have a better life.  I never know when or where the opportunity will present itself, but I do live by the motto: “Be prepared.” I do feel it when the opportunity presents itself.  I know without exception that kindness is not a one-time event, and it is indeed a lifestyle.  Change the world today by being kind to someone.  Trust me; you will know it when the opportunity presents itself.
