There was once an unhappy apprentice. He got so tired of his world and thought of nothing else but to commit suicide so as to be free from his troubles. 

One day, he pleaded for help from his Master. The old man instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then drink it. How does it taste?" the Master asked.

On his deathbed, Aldous Huxley reflected on his entire life's learning and then summed it up in seven simple words:” LET US BE KINDER TO ONE ANOTHER”. All too often we believe that in order to live a truly fulfilling life we must achieve some great act or grand feat that will put us on the front covers of magazines and newspapers. Nothing could be further from the truth. 

A meaningful life is made up of a series of daily acts of decency & kindness which adds up to something great over the course of a lifetime.

Everyone who enters your life has a lesson to teach and astory to tell. Every person you pass during the moments that make up your days represents an opportunity to show a little more of the compassion & courtesy that defines your humanity. Why not start being more of the person you truly is during your days and doing what you can to enrich the world around you?????

In my mind, If you make even one person smile during your day or brighten the mood of even one stranger, your day has been a worthwhile one.

"Kindness quite simply is the rent we must pay for the space we occupy on this planet."

Become more creative in the ways you show compassion to strangers. Paying the toll for the person in the car behind you, offering your seat on the subway and being the first to say hello are great places to start.
