If You Can Be Anything, Be Kind
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.” Dalai Lama
There is a favorite quote of mine that says “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” I often wonder why people choose the opposite. So many times on social media someone will make a rude or hurtful remark to what someone has posted. Why? I do not understand the compulsion to do this. We have choices in our lives and if something does not appeal to us, just turn it off. There really is no need to be rude or make derogatory remarks. Not everyone has the same taste and that is okay. It is what makes us unique in this human experience. Michael Jackson said “we are all products of our childhood.” Our formative years are of utmost importance to show us how the world looks and our role in it.
Dear Angels, bullying behavior happens in our world and is one of the most hurtful experiences emotionally we can experience. I understand that hurt people hurt other people. How do we turn this around in our world?
Dear Ones, many experiences shape who you are in life – both good and not so good. You do not come into the world with anything other than love inside of you. As you learn and grow, you choose how you respond to those experiences. You see what works to help you stay in your innocent peaceful self and what takes you to a different vibration. You find out what will get you noticed and what different consequences are. With encouragement you stay connected with your inner knowing of your spiritual self. However, some have traumatic experiences and learn to protect themselves by going on the offense, often hurting the innocent ones along the way. We encourage you, Dear Ones, to stand in your divine beingness of love and light. Set your boundaries of what you will allow in your life. Do not let anyone disrespect you or harm you in any way. You do not deserve such behavior. To those with a tendency toward striking out towards others, try to find a place in your heart where your pure innocence resides. Before you judge or criticize anyone else, allow yourself to pause and ask how hurting another makes you feel. Are you trying to fill a void? Are you protecting yourself by pushing others away? You deserve love and joy in your life. Continuing to hurt others will only lead to a life full of disappointment and isolation. Choose what you want for yourself and for the world you live in. Are you treating others the way you want to be treated? Before you make that next rude comment or say a derogatory remark to someone in your life, we encourage you to examine the reason you would do so. You are all loved by us and by the Creator. If you seek that love, you will find it. It will not judge or criticize you. It will only embrace you in arms of safety and acceptance.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste y’all.
Today, I promise to be mindful and deliberate of my thoughts and actions and when I recognize I haven't been mindful or deliberate, I promise to recognize without judgment and realign with my true self.
