Kind People: Rare Gem

 

An oldy but goody. 

“Authentically Kind People: A Rare Gem” 

October 3, 2015 in Curiosities

 

Kind People 

“Those who’ve shown you that the world is a marvelous place to live in. But, above all, good people are the ones who give you the motivation every day to do your best and to be happy.

They’re not overbearing or paternal, but rather simply patient. Their patience enables them to give those around them the freedom to be themselves.

We are so lucky when you find those people who are not corrupted by society and who wouldn’t hurt a fly. You can easily recognize them because you are a better person since meeting them; they have made you stronger and enriched you.

Authentic kindness means having the courage to stand up for what is good

These people have a special sense of justice and what is right. Their words always bring hope, and if they have a say in things, they will give you a lesson in life.

They are upstanding people who go above and beyond moral obligations and always lend a helping hand. They do what is right, even when nobody is looking, and that is what makes them precious

Being a good person is one of the best qualities that we can hope to achieve. It is innate in some people and only a lucky few have the good fortune to be sensitive to the suffering of others and the ability to help. The positive side of this is that we can all be good, upstanding people.

It is this special sensitivity that makes these people incomparable and unforgettable. There are also times when kindness meets friendliness, thus making the person exceptional.

This is why, instead of trying to be different, you should try to be good, seeing that being good means you will be different. What really counts is the final result. It is the action that matters, not the intention.

Each person’s life affects thousands of others in the world, and what we do for other people directly affects us, which is why it is important to take advantage of this multiplying effect.

They are cut from a different cloth, from unbreakable steel.

Good people are wise because consciously or unconsciously, they know the truth: what we do for others, we do for ourselves.

The best way to repay a good person is with gratitude. These people are conscious of the fact that, in some way or another, what you put into life is what life will give back to you.

Thank you to all the kind people who have given us so much without expecting anything in return.

You are priceless.

Good People

I believe in good people.

I believe in smiling, being kind, and speaking with love.

I believe that happiness is gained from within. Gained from staying true to one's morals and living with integrity.

I believe that sunsets, fresh air and the quiet rumble of the waves kissing the shore can ease one's pain. 

I believe in good people.

I believe that despite all the negativity and cut throat ways of society, good will conquer.

I believe in good people. 

We are the good people. 

We can't let the cruel ways of the world make us 
bitter. 

We can not let the bad, strip us of our good. 

Because we are the good people.

We are the people who believe in doing the right thing, staying true to our morals, and living with integrity.

We are the good people. 

And we will change the world. 

I believe in us. 

The 5 Agreements

Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

The person I want to become.

I want to be that person who just radiates nice engery. I want to be that person who you've never spoken to before but you think of me as a friend already. I want to be person you feel you can come to for advice whenever, or someone who makes you feel better by just talking to you. I'm gonna try really hard to be that person. 

WE ONLY SEE THAT WHICH WE ARE

We see only that which we are.

We can only see things within others that we see within ourselves.

We can only love and accept others to the degree that we love and accept ourselves.  

We see in others what we like and don't like in ourselves.

If we embrace these parts of ourselves we will be able to see others as they are, not as we see them through our cloud of projection. 

You are my mirror and I am yours.

This is love

In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.

Peace

"Peace is not to be achieved by patchwork reform, nor by a mere rearrangement of old ideas and superstitions.

There can be peace only when we understand what lies beyond the superficial, and thereby stop this wave of distruction which has been unleashed by our own aggressiveness and fears; and only then will there be hope for our children and salvation for the world." J. Krishnamurti

You Are Here.

We are just a small speck in the universe. Our egos limit our perspective and limit our world. Ego Fools us into thinking the boss yelling at us is such a big deal. Or the planning of the wedding has to perfect. Etc. 

I urge you...the next time you get caught up in your small world...take a step back

Then take another step back.

And look at your thoughts. Yes look at them...be an observer of your own life.

Then remember we are on a small rock flying uncontrollably through a galaxy inside another galaxy in an ever expanded space.  

Our problems are microscopic in the bigger picture. 

Make the most of your life. Be kind. Live fully. And dont let your ego trick you into focusing on all the wrong things. 

Be a Good Soul

Be such a good soul that people crave your vibe :)

Space

I've met people trapped in crowds,
Who think that "space" means you are alone
Who find their silence is too deafening
To spend much time on their own. 
They ask how i can hear the whispers
If i stand back from the crowd.
But surely whispers are drowned out
When where you're standing is so loud?
If all you see of those around you,
Is the back of someone's head. 
Dont you think the bigger picture
Would mean so much instead?
Just like you can't find constellations
By looking at just one star,
Somethings the world does not make sense
Until you watch from afar. 
Space does not mean your empty
It just means you've room to grow
It doesnt mean you must be lonely
For there is more people you can know
Because the space between two beats
Just shows you have a working heart
And its the only way to tell if youre apart or a part. 

-Erin Hanson

Rainstorm

A Beautiful Poem by Erin Hanson

“You were born to be a rainstorm,
To send your voice throughout the night,
To sing your song with falling raindrops,
To break the darkness with your light,
You were born to show raw beauty,
To wash the dirt out from their eyes,
But the whole world ran for cover,
When you opened up your skies,
So you made your thunder silent,
And learnt to bite your rainy tongue,
You gave them what they thought they wanted,
You gave them life with endless sun,
But as they watched their lives grow weaker,
Watched as their leaves turned brown and dry,
They wished they didn’t take for granted,
Your booming presence in the sky,
You were born to be a rainstorm,
To be chaotic and be bold,
To show there’s beauty in the knowledge,
That you cannot be controlled,
Because you might think you’re not needed,
Life without you is the same,
But nothing beautiful would ever grow,
If it wasn’t washed with rain.” ~Erin Hanson

The Ripple Effect

Lately i have noticed my friends have been asking themselves what can they do to make a difference. 

What can they do to be the change.

After all isn't that what we all want? To make our Mark. "Be the change". Etc 

I see my friends struggle to find meaning and unsuccessfully seek for ways they can make their mark. 

Well let me tell you a secret, being the change is simple. 

You have to see the Bigger picture and put things into perspective. Yes, it is true that we might not be able to stop a genocide or human trafficking but we can change ourselves. 

By empowering ourselves on an individual level to be hopeful and find our own peace, we CAN make a difference. We have a tremendous ability to influence this transition just in how we manage our own emotional state.

By being postive and hopeful you will not only postively influence your life, but also all the lives around you. And like the ripple effect your good energy will circulate and  influence the world. 

Happy & Free

May all beings everywhere be happy and free and may the thoughts, actions, and words of my own life contribute to that freedom and that happiness of all.

We Will Be the Hopeful

How to be more Hopeful...inspiring words by Maria. 

"The easiest way to control others is to destroy people’s hope. Hope is so important that totalitarian regimes will go to great lengths to control or destroy it. Divide and conquer is an old social control mechanism. It creates fear instead of hope. So when we level the playing field, or bring down barriers, we are inevitably increasing hopefulness by reducing obstacles to it.

The human race is like one giant disco ball. 

Each one of us is a small mirror of talents, love and joy that we have to offer each other to create our world. So hope is energy – your positive energy, your talents, value and your soul. It is the lifeblood of the human race.

The easiest way to support a hopeful world  is to support hope in others and ask that others do the same for you. If you surround yourself with people invested in creating a hopeful world with you, then you are fortunate. However, not everyone will necessarily have a hopeful outlook. You can still support hope in someone else’s life whether they are able to value it or not. Helping to restore hope when it has been lost is a noble thing to do.

Look for ways to make hopefulness tangible. Don’t let it be just something for the future. Hope is all of the little things we do each day to make our lives. Everything you do contributes to hopeful living or takes away from it.

That may seem heavy.  But hope is that important. It needs to be treasured."

-Maria Hill

Listen to that that doesn't speak.

Its offically winter. In this time full of checklists, shopping, family, and parties.

Remember to slow down.
Embrace the silence
And rest.

Take the time to listen to those things that speak without words.

🌱 Growing 🌱

I've found that growing up means being honest. 

Honest about what you want. 
Honest about what you need. 
Honest about what you feel. 
And honest about who you are. 

✨ Open up ✨

The possibility for rich and life changing relationships exists all around you...it's crazy to think we share a world with so many people we will never know. 

I dare you to talk to get to know as many people as you can. Listen to them. Open your eyes, your ears, your mind, and most importantly your heart to people. 

Don't use Force

Dont force anything in life. 
Friendships, relationships, career paths. 

Let go and Go with the flow.

Forcing things will only lead to unhappiness. 

Have trust in the universe that everything and everyone will be in your life when and if they are suppose to be. 

Us and Them

There is no us and them. Rid that idea of division among us. 

We are simply us. We are all one.

One human race connected in more ways that we sometimes forget. 

Let us come together in Love and compassion

TRUE YOU.

In a world that is constantly trying to change you, 
It takes a tremedous amount of self love, self worth, and strengh to stay true to one self. 

Enemies, the media, co workers, peers, friends and family. Everything around you 
calls to question your personal truth. 

"Should I? They did." " My friends want me too. But do i really want to?" my parents told me...my boss said..." so many influences making us question ourselves. 

Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. And Look deep within. No where else. Find your truth. What alligns with your morals. 

Be strong enough to stick up what is morally right to you. What is right to you. 

When you are able to entirely truthful to yourself you will be free. You will feel light. 

Free yourself. Be yourself. For only you can be you. Take pride in that. Spread you wings and fly. 

Define me?

"You think you can define me,
That Im a tick in just one box.
Like my being is a door,
That just on key unlocks.
Let me tell you something
I have the inside
I hold the untamed ocean
With the constant changing tide.
Im home to endless mountains
With tips that touch the sky
Flocks of grand migrating birds
And deserts harsh and dry.
I hold the wildests rivers
And host sweeping plains
I feel in waves of sunshine
Or in unrelenting rains.
Dont tell me you think you know me
And "this right here is who you are."
 i am the universe in motion
For i was born from the stars."
-Erin Hason

I decided Long Ago

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows

If I fail, if I succeed

At least I’ll live as I believe

No matter what they take from me

They can’t take away my dignity

Only A Surfer knows the feeling.

"I SURF BECAUSE IT KEEPS MY LIFE ON AN EVEN KEEL. WITHOUT IT I WOULD DISAPPEAR INTO OBLIVION." 

-ANDY IRONS.
