We have now reached a milestone in our kindness challenge. We are officially two thirds of the way done. There have been some interesting things that happened to me during this time. One of the most important things I have learned is that kindness is contagious. I have discovered that when I do kind deeds for others, I notice others doing kind deeds themselves. Now how cool is that?
Another thing I have learned is that when I am actively doing kind deeds, or even thinking about doing kind deeds, STINKIN’ THINKIN’ does not exist. It disappears almost instantly. That is a nice by product of doing kindness.
Sadly, we are wrapping up our stay here at the beach. It has been an amazing trip and we are already planning next year’s trip. Checkout last night’s sunset to the left. Just when I thought the sky wouldn’t get any prettier, it did.
With peace, love and gratitude,
Bill
allow you to do even more for others. You really can make a major impact on others. All it takes is to practice doing kind deeds today. Then, repeat tomorrow and keep repeating.
you will see things much clearer in your life. Do not just look through them every now and then, teach yourself to look at each situation with compassion. When the heart softens, peace and abundance immediately flows. 
Tonight when several of the planes made their appearance I started thinking about the kindness challenge. As I looked around watching all eyes looking to the sky, I realized that these pilots were doing a very kind deed. Yeah, maybe they were having fun but I still believe they are providing a service. 
Yesterday I was traveling back from Chicago and had an interesting flight. We quickly discovered that an elderly lady was pretty sick and needed medical assistance. The flight attendants asked for anyone in the medical field to come forward. At one point we thought that we were going to have to make an emergency landing but ended up not having to do that.
Today I am in Chicago and was walking back to my hotel when I saw a homeless man on the sidewalk. Every single person that walked by him avoided eye contact and did not offer him anything. When I got up to him, I handed him some cash, looked him straight in the eye and said, “Have a nice day!” He seemed very grateful and told me “thank you, now I can buy me a sandwich.”
was thinking about kindness and realized that I had pushed myself too far yesterday. That sure was not being kind to myself. So today I decided to cut my jog a little shorter and be kind to myself.
noticed a garden hose that had a pinch in it. When I turned the faucet on, there was a pressure build up at the point of the pinch. This meant very little water came out of the nozzle.
to do, another task to complete or someone to call. I realized that I would be doing myself a kind deed by taking time to write down every item on my to do list. After I did that exercise, I felt instantly better. It is amazing to me how much energy I was wasting by not getting them down on paper.
