TODAY'S INVENTORY OF ATTITUDES...

Have you given a smile today?

An unexpected hug?

Made a compliment to a strange?

Helped someone in a difficult moment?

Looked at the eyes of another person with genuine interest?

Listened willingly?

Honored a promise?

Mended a relationship?

Healed a broken heart?

Expressed gratitude?

After a wrong doing said how sorry you are?

 

Gestures of kindness are so fundamental!!

 

Lets exert our humanity!

Lets reinforce positive things in our relationships

Lets make people feel special every day

It will be good to them and to us

 

Lets have as the utmost purpose in life

To be good, loving, understanding, respectful, caring

 

Remember:

Love and Peace

Smiles increase!

 

-Simone Bittencourt-



Yesterday in the Boston blasts

Between all that tragedy and chaos

It was beautiful too see

The willingness of some to help others

Seconds immediately after the explosions

Unknown hands

Have made the bombs

That killed some and injured so many

Also unknown hands were there

To try to avoid more losses

Hands are powerful things

They can hit and destroy

But also can heal and rebuild

Hands can cause a revolution

They can inflict pain

But also spread peace

To each hand that causes suffering

We must mobilize others to restore hope

Reassure love

Promote understanding

Bring a light in the end of the tunnel

When there is nothing more valuable

Than being human

By showing the nurturing face of our hands!

 

Congratulations women all around the world!

Congratulations to all women, good mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, wives, and professionals. Women who fight for their own rights to have a voice of their own heard, who love unconditionally, wise, teachers of life, life givers, careg...ivers, brave, entrepreneurs,full of integrity, creative, women of faith, opinionated, high spirit, proud of being women, and in most difficult moments are there still with a positive word, a hug to give, and an unshakeable determination to face whatever challenge. Women are the messengers of love and peace. Thank you for all women who have made difference in my life in the past and in the present sharing their wisdom, encouragement, love, and understanding. All the experiences with you have been so deeply rewarding and personal treasures to me.

Never underestimate a gesture of kindness! It demands so little effort and can make such a huge difference. There are so many people out there longing for a smile, a thank you, a compliment, and being seen. There are so many people living alone, with deep lack of affection in their lives. Children in orphanages dreaming of hugs and smiles. People in the streets dreaming of having attention and a helping hand. Lets not be indiferent to people's needs. Too much individualism is what kills the humanity within us! Think about it! Do something good to someone today and you will feel very rewarded. It is a wonderful feeling!

I always think about the way technology has gotten rooted in our lives nowadays. It has brought a lot of positive things, a lot of progress to Humanity, there is no question about it. But the problem, I think, is our attitude toward it. We became obsessed by these machines. Of course, they make our communication with others easier, faster, that is absolutely true! However, little by little, we are losing our ability to paying attention to people who are in front of us everyday. We are losing touch with the human side of relationships. On the streets it is incredible to see how most eyes are turned  to the screen of a device, than to the eyes of others, when they come to ask for an information, or may be smilling to us, or talking to us in a caffe! We are forgetting to appreciate nature, the animals, time with kids too... Our relationships with living things are becoming more and more impoverished and it is sad. Let's keep the BALANCE of things to not lose contact with things that are really, really the essential ones, after all!
