Be Kind
BE KIND…
The world is an unforgiving place
Full of hurt and betrayal
Full of falsehood
And two-faced people
BE THE EXCEPTION…
Don’t let yourself be dragged
by the unthinking mass
We live in a world where everyone
judges and condemns you
Without knowing the facts
Without caring for your feelings
BE THE VOICE OF REASON…
Think before you say something
that may be the last straw for someone in despair
Your words can hurt more than you can imagine
Don’t take away someone’s self-worth…
It may be the last think they have left
BE UNDERSTANDING…
When all we see around us
is hate and prejudice
Caused by our beliefs,
Our skin color,
By who we love…
BE THE DIFFERENCE…
Extend your hands for someone drowning
Lend your ears for someone choking on their sorrow
Give your smile to someone crying
Open your heart for someone suffering
BE GENEROUS…
Not with possessions
but with a few moments of your time
Not with money
but with a kind word and a smile
BE… YOURSELF…
Don’t let the harshness around you
to make you change
Sometimes it’s easier to shut off
than to open up and be hurt for it
But believe in yourself,
because you may not be perfect…
But you’re perfectly awesome
just the way you are
BE HAPPY…
Open your heart
to the good things a new day can bring you
Try new experiences,
Follow your dreams,
Explore your passions,
Laugh without reason,
Love with all your heart
Try your best
That’s always a good start…
