Spiritual Awakening: Kindness Begets Kindness!!!

 As Tony Kanaan celebrated his Indy 500 Victory yesterday a small medallion was in his pocket. This medallion was given to a young girl in a hospital years ago who was about to undergo major surgery. Tony had visited the young girl and gave her the good luck medallion and this weekend she sent it back with a note of gratitude and encouragement. As I heard this story I though wow a spiritual awakening right before everyone’s eyes teaching the principle of kindness.

 As I was watching the race I was wearing my tee shirt with this saying on it and I began to think how life becomes easier when you come from a position of kindness. www.kindnessinc.com is a website that shares many acts of kindness. www.feelthehugs.com is a great website where you can purchase items and send them to others to show your kindness.  The key is to focus on being kind and realizing that being kind is often rewarded. On Saturday as I was recuperating from having a tooth extracted, there was a knock at the door. It was my neighbor seeking help to set up her new TV. I went to help her and was able to get the TV up and running for her. I went back to my condo. There was a knock on the door and it was my neighbor with a $5 bill for me for helping her.  I have begun to journal about  how these good deeds are being repaid and how they are positively influencing my life in hopes that people will see them and realize that part of a spiritual awakening is the fact that you realize that kindness begets kindness.
