Would it hurt you to speak kindness into the lives of others? What if, just once each day, you were to stop yourself before making a cruel remark and replace it with a sincere word of encouragement? You know that a snide remark gains you nothing, yet it costs you much. You know that a selfish act brings no lasting value, yet it attracts the enduring resentment of others. A kind word, on the other hand, costs you nothing yet it can bring about a lifetime of value. Such a thing would cost you absolutely nothing, and yet it would bring real, positive value to your life and your world.
Cruelty is a waste of precious time and energy. Kindness is an investment which pays endless dividends. Choose to speak kindness into those around you and those you encounter each day.
If you desire a life of value, then it is up to you to do the things which bring true value, as often as you can. Strive to fill your moments with kindness, and fill your world with value.
