Are you aware of the impact you make being kind and being real? It’s embedded in your nature, it’s the foundation of friendships, your purpose in life and your sense of self. It’s the antidote to what’s happening in our country as we watch self-serving greed, subterfuge, deception, and trickery take control.
Lee’s friends Scotty and Harry from the Northeast are visiting to play a blues gig. Scotty posted this parable that makes this point:
“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, because the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because it’s handle was made of wood, it was one of them.
But you know the truth: Trickery, greed, and judgement are not kind or real. The voters have been hoodwinked.
Here is what is true:
FRIENDSHIP IS KIND AND REAL
There’s deep gratitude for my friends here, across the country and around the world. These relationships are based on reciprocity, being kind to one another and the trust developed knowing what we share is real. Seeing Lee’s friends of many years here to share their love of music is a testament to this. Notice this for yourself and be grateful for your friends.
YOUR PURPOSE AND SENSE OF SELF IS BASED ON BEING KIND AND REAL
In whatever work or activity you are involved, you know it serves your purpose when it aligns with your greater good and that of others. Kindness easily emanates from you when your authenticity and realness comes from deep inside, enhancing your sense of self. Recognize how this motivates and keeps you committed to making a difference in the world.
BEING KIND AND REAL IS UNIVERSAL AND INCREASES YOUR DISCERNMENT
The universality of kindness and real connections is humbling. No matter where Lee and I have gone, to the poorest countries or iconic destinations, we experience the kindness of strangers and wonderfully real connections. There is an innate discernment from being aligned to your purpose that filters out meanness and trickery. We give kindness and receive it in return.
Notice your own insulated circle of harmony, peace and discernment created by being kind and real. Reach out is you’d like help with this.
