It’s hard to keep your head up during the day, as so many people have a lot on their plate. And while we constantly have the business of our lives, it’s really difficult to remember small things like smiling about the weather. So, I’ve started to work towards a monthly mantra that can hopefully start to bring me more towards a carefree, peaceful lifestyle. At the end of the year, I’ll have 12 positive outlooks that can I can integrate into every minute of every day. So here is [a little early] May Monthly Mantra.
We often consider ourselves to be kind. When we see a quote like, “Choose kind,” or “Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle,” we can’t help but agree with it. But I get sometimes forget this, until something comes out of my mouth. I am human. It explains it, but it doesn’t excuse it. So I’m sticking to the mantra, “kindness costs nothing.” If everyday, I put aside just a few minutes to say kind things, or to think before I speak, then the way that I and others perceive the world may be a little different, in a good way. It’s only, let’s say, 5 minutes out of 1,440. It costs us nothing.
