It's 24 hours of Random Acts of Kindness Week.

And so far I have been ignored and snarled at in a queue. Abused on the phone by a business man who wasn't getting his way and elbowed out of the way outside a restaurant. How kind we have become. 

Have we become so used to always expecting to get what we want that we can't tolerate other people getting in our way? Or that our lives are so focused on ourselves that we don't even know that other people even exist? I think both of the above.

Intend to get out of your own skin for once and just try helping and thinking of someone else for a change. Ok you're in a rush but it's not going to kill you if you just relax for once. It could kill someone else if you don't. Something hasn't gone your way but in the end it's only business. You'll get another contract if you can accept things more.

Practise happiness and giving this gift to others and you'll soon realise that you are not the only person who needs kindness in this world.
