Be kinder than necessary: everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
I've been thinking about this a lot this morning. Be kinder than necessary. It reminds me of something my wise mother, Kathy Smith of LifeSmith, taught me: it takes less energy to be nice than it does to be mean.
If it's easier to be nice, than to be mean, and everyone we meet/know/bump into is struggling with some challenge, than it makes sense to take the high road an be a little nicer.
When you meet someone today who is grouchy, fearful, short tempered, inquisitive or generally meeting you with countless objections...be a little kinder than necessary, and help make their fight a little easier.
