Kindness Unfolds in the Now


--by butterfly, posted Apr 24, 2008

I wanted to mention how letting other people enter in traffic is such a small kind gesture but it goes a very long way. I love being kind and letting people enter in traffic, but I noticed that I can only do this if I am in the moment. When I am caught up in all of my thoughts then I totally don't even see the people waiting to pull out. I've realized what a difference it makes to be in the 'now' in order to clearly see opportunities to be kind to others.

I'm gonna work harder at this one myself and see how many opportunitites to let others in I can spot! Thanks for sharing!
