35 THE GOOD KIND

Bringing love and kindness to your situation, honest and fulfilling work, acting from the heart, the bounty of a job done well, doing the right thing, serving with love, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, seeking simplicity and goodness in your solution.

A need to put others first, time spent defining the good you bring to the world, a need to stop judging, accepting others as they are, being the change.

Why are you working so hard? Really. What do you hope to gain in your current situation? Money? Security? Notoriety? Love? Acceptance? Worthiness? Growth? What are you working to find? Alongside whatever word your subconscious mind served up for you, add these two words: goodness and kindness. Allow these good-ole-fashioned vibrations to cut through the fog of your worries, and let them lead you as you do the work. We get a massive energetic upgrade when we witness and partake in simple virtuous gestures—and we undervalue them all the time. Allow them to be an important part of the solution.

Goodness asks you to seek simple joys. To unplug. And to do something because it’s the right thing to do, not because of what you will gain.

Kindness asks you to help someone out just because. To look at potential instead of just flaws. To listen with an open heart. To witness without judgement.

Modern society can often paint these virtues as naïve, superficially 'light-and-love' or even insincere . . . but whoaaaa, my goodness, genuine goodwill and selflessness always open the most rewarding doors. Try some good and kind for size, because they may be way more fresh and alive than you remember, and they are always—always—the good kind of undertaking.
