In the words of a man whose greatest power was perhaps in his words,

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

So, today, as we remember Martin Luther King, Jr., be a champion of peace and love as he was in life and strive to be better, kinder and more compassionate to foster a better world. We owe it to our children, our grandchildren and the generations to come.

 

World Kindness Day

 

I'm not sure there has ever been a time in the world when this day is more important than now. November 13th is World Kindness Day. At the risk of sounding simplistic, it really isn't that hard. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. It really is that simple. If everyone would treat others the way he/she wants to be treated, the world could be a different place. It is truly the Golden Rule--treat others the way you want to be treated yourself. 

We don't all have to agree. We don't have to see life or religion or politics the same way. We don't even have to like each other. But we can be kind. We owe that to each other, to ourselves and, most importantly, to the children (and future generations to come) we are raising to go out and be contributing and active members of society going forward. Set a positive example. Be a positive leader. And just be kind.

How many random acts of kindness can you contribute to World Kindness Day today, and all the days to come. Lets start making this world a better place, today.
