you have a reason to be kind today
+ that reason has nothing to do with the other person or their actions.
kindness is for you, too.
it can quench your soul,
it can inspire you to do your best,
+
it can set you up to achieve dope things.
today, be kind to yourself!
resist the urge to belittle yourself after a mistake or mishap.
offer yourself kind words when you’re facing fears or anxieties.
give yourself the benefit of the doubt + assure yourself that all is well + okay because well…
it is.
kindness starts with you, fam.
we tend to think that if we treat the people that we care about better than we treat ourselves that’s enough.
eventually our insecurities, our inflexibilities, + the conditional kindness we have with ourselves manifests in the relationships we have with others, too.
let go of everything you’ve used as an excuse to not be kind to yourself + show yourself the kindness you may not have always received, but most certainly deserve.
you don’t lose anything by being a kind person + showing genuine concern about who you are + what you do.
however; you lose credibility + integrity when you weaponize + withhold your kindness from yourself + others.
even if you don’t agree with everything you’ve done or are doing in this moment, remember:
you are enough + who you are right now deserves kindness, too.
be you, be dope!
