We often act based on how we feel, but little do we realize that how we feel also depends on how we act.
If you're having a bad day and projecting that onto everyone you meet, it’s only going to make you feel worse—especially if others respond negatively (which they likely will), and it turns into a cycle of negativity.
I don’t always remember what people did, but I do remember how they made me feel. My closest friends are those who bring kindness into our interactions. My favourite teachers were those who treated me with kindness. The strangers who left a lasting impression on my travels were those who were kind.
So, choose kindness today and every day. You might just make someone’s day a little brighter, and very possibly brighten up your own day as well.
