So many things are happening that are unfamiliar to us! For instance, who of us ever expected to live through a pandemic which turned everything upside down? Unfortunately, the events of the world have caused an unpleasant epidemic of snarkiness! Many people seem to be frightened, short tempered, frustrated, and sometimes downright rude. So how do we keep ourselves in good temper when we encounter unkindness? Here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t give in to fear! That is what terrorists and hate mongers want you to do!<\/li><li>Treat others as if they may have something to teach you, because maybe they do.<\/li><li>Understand that kindness isn\u2019t about pleasing anyone and winning accolades; it comes from a genuine desire to help others and improve a negative situation.<\/li><li>Remember that encouraging someone else does not diminish your accomplishments.<\/li><li>If someone\u2019s lifestyle or beliefs are not like yours, understand that you don\u2019t need to be threatened by the differences.<\/li><li>When you make kindness a habit, your outlook on life begins to change because you get back what you send out!<\/li><li>Even if you don\u2019t feel like an especially kind person, act like one. Fake it \u2018til you make it!<\/li><li>Be careful and thoughtful about what you write on social media sites.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that kindness breeds kindness and kindness gives rise to hope! Emily Dickinson wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Hope is the thing with feathers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>That perches in the soul<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And sings the tune without the words<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And never stops at all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If hope is the thing with feathers, certainly kindness must have wings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linda is a world-renowned motivational, inspirational, and keynote speaker.
