Here's an excerpt/tweaked from a blog I wrote in Oct 2018. Seems like a good time to share.
NEWSFLASH: There are MORE people doing good in the world than those who do not. There is more kindness and compassion and caring than hate.
GET OFF the news and the scroll feed. Fill yourself with a balanced report. The good exists as surely as the not-so-good.
Notice all the small acts of human decency all around you. What you look for, you will find.
Be the person in your workplace, your neighborhood, your family, your place of worship, in your daily life who does not join the chorus of “what is wrong with this world.” Sing a new song.
Offer a story of love to counter every story of hate or fear. In EVERY interaction, look the other person in the eye and SEE them.
Be a voice that defuses. Do not add fuel to the fire. Keep the fire from spreading. We can be the bucket brigade. Every good word, every kindness, every ounce of empathy douses out the fires of fear.
Right here, right now, we have the capacity to make a difference. Pour yourself into the mission of finding all the good in the world. See example after example of people who have chosen love over fear.
Instead of circling the wagons, we can open our arms. We can do one small act to make our community feel stronger and safer. Tomorrow, wake up and do another. And the next day. And the next. Every act and action matters.
Will the fire of hate and fear ever go out? I do not know. But I do know that instead of lighting more matches, I can join the bucket brigade. I hope you do too.
Much love,
Kelly
