 | Giving Hope With Kindness Years ago I read an article that told an inspiring story of a young burn victim. A teacher was asked to go to the hospital and help this badly burn young boy with his grammar lessons. |
At the end of the session, she doubted herself as to having helped the boy. The next day the hospital staff asked her what she had done to change the boy's response to healing. This was a mystery to her but the lessons continued and the boy kept on making progress.
Two weeks later, the boy told some of the staff that when the teacher came to help him, he thought, "They wouldn't have sent a teacher to help me with my schoolwork if people thought I was dying."
We can slowly create the world we want with simple acts of kindness, these acts will at times give hope. Look for qualities in others, talk and listen to them with kindness and refrain from assuming or judging.
But remember, first you must be kind to yourself. Learn to take time to relax, take a walk and breathe in the beauty that surrounds you. Being kind to you reaches to others.
