Spread kindness

I caught myself trying to figure out ways to spread kindness to people today. I have been way too selfish the past few years and without realizing, have caught myself in a downward spiral. Thanks to my new readings and my new outlook, these bad habits are gradually changing. I know that it won't happen overnight but I also know that the person I am is an amazing, kindhearted person. I have so much room to grown, love and learn. Today a realization of self awareness happened, the other day my 5 year old cousin innocently said "people in my class hate me", I only had one response "As long as you known your heart that you are a nice person and that you don't do anything to make people upset on purpose, you shouldn't have to care about if they like you because being kind is all that matters." She smiled and said " Meg, I love you. " In this moment, I understood how much it really matters to be kind, to spread all the love you have to give and to share wise words with youth. I hope that one day my little cousin will grow up to know that what ever she does in her life is her decision and that only she can love herself as much as I do. I have been trying to spend as much time with my little cousin as possible because she is at the age where she absorbs everything she hears, takes it in, naturally gets rid of any negative, then smiles and carries on. Spread kindness and self love will then follow.
