Simple Generosity Can Impact Others

Sometimes we get so consumed with the big ways that we can make a difference in the lives of others that we forget all the little ways we can make a difference. One of the simplest ways you can make a difference in the lives of others is with simple kindness. How many times have you been going through your day and a simple act of kindness changes your entire day? You have the same ability to extend that gift to others every day.

Today’s affirmation is all about embracing generosity, kindness and respect as a daily practice:

I am generous, kind, and respectful to everyone I meet.

I realize that everyone is unique and I appreciate what each person has to offer. I am generous with each person I meet. I freely give of my time, attention, and support. By treating others so well, I encourage them to respond with kindness. Everyone wins when I am generous.

Kindness is simply a part of who I am. I spread compassion and love wherever I go. I enjoy being kind and receiving it back. I can always find a way to be kind to others. It is easy to be kind, because I genuinely care. When I care about others, they also care about me.

Respect is important, and I am respectful to everyone I meet. Everyone is special and worthy of respect. By reminding myself of this fact, I find it easy to treat others appropriately. I am in awe of each person I meet and want them to know how I feel.

Whenever I find myself being less than generous, kind, or respectful, I take a moment to remind myself that every person is deserving of these things. I refocus myself and behave in a way that is more kind and loving. I am able to reverse the situation quickly and easily.

I realize my power to make everyone I meet feel better or worse. I want everyone to feel better as a result of meeting me.
