InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
January 18, 2024
The focus for today is:
The tiniest act of kindness is of great value
to the progress of humankind.
Today's inspiration was written by Pierre Pradervand:
When I become aware of any situation of distress or lack on this gentle blue planet that supports us all, may the kindness woven into the texture of my soul rise to alleviate it in any manner available to me. May I never later in life ever regret a missed opportunity to express kindness.
May I never pretend or claim I am too rushed by time to perform a random act of kindness, or that my act of kindness is really unimportant, or that in any case it is too insignificant to be of any meaning. The tiniest act of kindness is of more value to the progress of humankind than the donation of a huge fortune.
When I see or feel the slightest hint of suffering in my sister or brother, beast or bird, may I help allay it by claiming the opposite of what the material senses scream.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Expressing the Sweet Fragrance of Kindness

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of performing random acts of kindness (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Whether we consider ourselves rich or poor, kindness is something we always can give. It comes from the heart and has nothing to do with money. It comes from Love which, in our Essence, is what we are. So let's be kind to everyone, yes, even those we don't like... as they too have their burden to carry and kindness may help alleviate it and perhaps even change their course.
Our focus for today: The tiniest act of kindness is of great value to the progress of humankind.
