Lately, I have been sitting on the fact that there is a lot of unneeded hate and anger in this world. It only takes a few seconds to smile or wave at someone, but can take years to erase the harsh words that you say to or about them. Think about your actions, how do you look to other poeple?

Growing up, I was always told to be kind because everyone, everywhere is fighting a silent battle. How many silent battles do you fight? How many people know what you are going through? The person you are shaking hands with is in the exact same boat.

Think about how you would feel if someone said the things you say about another person to your face, or even behind your back. Keep this in mind as you run into other people, whether it is friends or someone you have never met before.

There is a lot of negativity in this world today. It is tough to get through if you are surrounded with hate and anger. Be the reason that someone smiles and has a better day, not the reason someones day or week gets worse.

What makes your day get better? Think about these things then offer the same actions to other people. Choose to be kind!
