We should want to be a force for good. What you put out there matters. When you hand out kindness, you shall recoup some of that kindness back.
If we carry animosity for others, we may never meet with success. Sabotaging other people’s success, means you can be sabotaging your own. And everything we say, everything we do is a mirror image of what we say and do to ourselves.
In our private lives that is what most of us are doing, but I have also heard, the overall tone has changed, people have become more mean-spirited, instead of asking, 'how can I can help others, and how can I be better?'
Where we may have struggle, we can still do better, but for that to happen, we need to stop projecting our will on to others. For those who haven't found success, they may not care for others to have and meet with success and can feel jealousy and despondency towards others.
No matter our circumstances, we should all want to become better people, we should want the best for others, to be a force for good. It's the lessons we should all be taking away from the pandemic.
