How different would you live this week if you suddenly discovered this would be your last? How long would you stay offended? How long would you stay frustrated, upset, or negative?

I’m challenging us not to let little things steal our joy. To choose to make the most of each day. To choose to be kind and unoffendable.

There are times when we want to be anything but kind. It is much easier to bear a grudge or hate in return or get back or get even. Yet hate destroys the vessel it’s kept in. It stiffens our tank of kindness. So, I urge us to be kind. Tenderhearted. Forgiving one another. When we are genuinely free of revenge and bitterness, there’s plenty of room in our hearts for kindness. And not until.

Do what’s right. Love kindness. Walk humbly. It’s amazing what one kind word can do. It can breathe life into a person’s spirit. Our words have the power to lift people.

Letting people know that you care does more than you can imagine. You have the power to put someone on their feet. You can cause someone to pursue their dreams. So let someone know today that you care. Nobody is in your life by accident.

Kindness is love in action. Kindness is not an emotion or feeling; it’s something you do for someone. Your soul is nourished when you are kind.

Let’s commit to never walking away from someone that needs our help. It’s so easy to step away. Instead, let’s choose the road less traveled and let our kindness be known to all. To have a reputation for kindness. To be famous for our kindness.

**Our Happy Monday this week is dedicated to the late Jennifer Smith of Innovative. She led with an open heart and impacted many lives because of her chosen style. Let’s allow her legacy to inspire our hearts to love kindness.
