Looking for the Good

In these times when we're so inundated with scary news,

messages of hate and division,

and horrible things happening around the world,

instead of just focusing on the negativity we’re bombarded with,

it is sooo vitally important to intentionally look for the good.

Look for the instances of moral beauty.

Look for the random acts of kindness.

Look for the fellow humans who are out there doing good,

simply because it's the right thing to do.

When we intentionally look for moments of kindness, generosity, and compassion,

our nervous systems will begin to soften.

We feel a little safer in the world.

A little more hopeful about the future.

A little more connected to one another.

There are always people doing good in the world.

But I've come to realize

that our ability to readily notice others doing good

is directly correlated

with our willingness to notice the good within ourselves.

✨The goodness you recognize in others is a reflection

of the goodness you acknowledge within yourself.

The more we learn to love ourselves,

and the more willing we are to embrace the inherent goodness within us,

then the more we will see and recognize it in others.

As we become more compassionate with ourselves,

we naturally become more compassionate with others.

As we become kinder and more generous with ourselves,

we naturally become kinder and more generous with others.

As we become more connected to ourselves,

we naturally become more deeply connected to our neighbors.

The goodness we cultivate within

begins to multiply through us and then ripple out…

Not only to our friends, family, and partners,

but also within our communities.

Every act of kindness matters.

Every moment of compassion matters.

Every smile. Every helping hand. Every generous heart.

Every time we nurture the flame of Self-Love within us,

it shines a brighter light for others.

Let our world be shaped

by ordinary people

choosing love in ordinary moments.

We don’t have to wait for the darkness in the world to disappear ~

the world becomes brighter when more of us choose to become the light.

"People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings,

but all of us are born with a basic goodness." ~ Anne Frank

🕯️Becoming the Light

I invite you to take several deep breaths,

letting your exhales be slow and intentional.

With each inhale, imagine your heart becoming just a little brighter.

When you’re ready, lovingly remind yourself:

"The light I cultivate within me has the power to brighten someone else's day."

Carry that intention with you wherever you go today.
