Kindness as a Way of Life

"Every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone's day."
― Richelle E. Goodrich

I recently met with someone on a business-related matter and found myself talking to a guy in finance who goes through life "with an open heart."  It fascinates me how some people walk through the day with a smile, an open heart and a generosity of spirit.  They see the opportunities for kindness; they reach out.  They brighten someone's day.

And then it seems... they move on.  One of my Kindness Heroes sent me a lovely e-mail today.  He said, " I do things not for the name or fame but for the joy or happiness it will bring to others and after it's done, I don't think about it again."  And yet, those acts of kindness stay with those whose hearts have been touched.
