How often do you find yourself judging others or holding feelings of anger, resentment, or hurt from people who may have not even done you wrong? I have been bullied most all of my life, and there have been times when I have bullied others. Neither being bullied or being the bully is any fun! Being nice doesn't mean you let people walk all over you, nor does it mean you must drop your standards, morals, or beliefs because someone else's are different than yours.
Being kind simply means that you learn to love everyone, even your enemies (and trust me, it's not always easy to do!), you respect others and their opinions, even if you don't agree with them (and you don't have to), and you try to look at everyone as a son/daughter of God who has infinite potential.
Say hi to someone who seems lonely, try to help others, spend time trying to build others' up. If nothing else, at least use kind words and actions and avoid judging, name-calling, or offending/hurtful words and phrases.
Everyone, no matter how big or small, rich or poor, wise or foolish, etc. etc. deserves to be treated with kindness and love. I promise that if you seek to better others' lives by changing your attitude, actions, and words that you will be bettered and you will be blessed.
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog. May we all find happiness and betterment in our lives, and give kindness and love to better others' lives. I love all of you, and even more so, I know that God loves all of you and everyone!
Great post! I think that everyone could learn to be more kind to people and less judgmental. I have been trying for the past couple of years to except everyone for who they are, even if I don't like them very much.. or at all. I think that everyone deserves respect to some extent and that people need to be polite to one another no matter the situation. I'm not LDS, but I do believe in God, and your blog is very inspiring! :)
