Behind every profile picture online,
Every face you see on the street,
Your boss, your clients, and your colleagues,
The annoying neighbor whose dog always poops in your yard,
The store employees and call center folks you interact with,
The telemarketers and job applicants,
Every. Single. Human.
There is a person with dreams, hopes, fears, struggles, and all of the above. ❤️
We may be different but underneath, at our basic naked human level, we all just want love, appreciation, and acceptance.
Sometimes we forget this due to stress, labels, expectations, or annoyance.
Then we may be unkind, ignore, be unfair, or even downright cruel.
That is part of being human too.
But if you can find the part of your heart, the bigger part, that remembers there is an actual person just like you inside when you interact with others, the world will always be right in the end.
I don't often write #kindness posts but this past week I've tried to help a couple of people without reason, just because, and was reminded of this.
I challenge you today to try to really "see" each person you interact with, give them a bit of grace, patience, a smile, anything more than you might usually do.
Miracles happen when we remember to simply be kind.
