\u201cDon\u2019t wait for people to be friendly. Show them how.\u201d – Unknown<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sometimes you can get caught up in all the negative things that it can leave you feeling a little bitter and jaded. You guard yourself and turn away from your brothers and sisters who walk the earth with you. <\/p>\n

What if you could do something to make the world just a little kinder? Would you be willing to change your ways just a little so you would feel more generous and manage to be a little more patient with that stranger in front of you who just cut you off in traffic? <\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed that when you are kind, you see more kindness? If you want to create a kinder world then continue to be kind every chance you get. Here are ten ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\tDon’t judge others. You don’t know their circumstances. Only God can judge. <\/p>\n

2.\tDo your best to treat other people like they were your brothers and sisters. Love one another as the brothers and sisters we are in God’s eyes. <\/p>\n

3.\tPay it forward. Do something kind for a neighbor or stranger without expecting anything in return. <\/p>\n

4.\tOffer to teach a skill you know and love. Whether it is sewing, painting or making bread. Teach others without demanding payment. <\/p>\n

5.\tPaste a smile on your face and let your inner light shine through as you walk down the street. A simple smile can brighten a stranger’s day. <\/p>\n

6.\tPractice patience, even when somebody is pushing your buttons. Recognize they are upset about something else and you are acting as their sounding board. <\/p>\n

7.\tRemember the Golden Rule; Do unto others, as you would have done to you. <\/p>\n

8.\tLet the car waiting to turn on the road cut in front of you. Offer a wave and a smile. <\/p>\n

9.\tWhen the person in line behind you at the grocery store only has a couple things and you have a cart full, let them cut in front of you and be gracious about it. <\/p>\n

10.\tSend a hand written note or card to someone you haven’t talked to in a while. The message will surely brighten their day. <\/p>\n
