I believe no is the time for people to take action and to be kind to one another. It is time to adopt an anthem to be loving and caring in all we do and to show kindness through our actions. I was at Taco Bell yesterday and the cashier asked if I would like to donate $1 to help end world hunger. I gladly gave the $1 as GOD loves a cheerful giver and I told the cashier next time ask if I would like to help feed people. It is the same question phrased differently but the universe responds better when we use positive words. I have been promoting The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton and they adopted a theme of Finish The Fight which sounds great and gets many people&#8217;s attention but it goes against spiritual principles because what you resist will persist so now instead of saying Finish The Fight I ask please help me help those touched by cancer get back on a path to health and wellness. In making this shift I have seen better results in my fundraising efforts. The website to help those affected by cancer and to give generously is http:\/\/main.acsevents.org\/goto\/jdogg2. \u00a0Ask yourself how are you phrasing things and how are your words impeding kindness to flow to you and from you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.608017376339691853&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"Courtesy of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation\" width=\"437\" height=\"296\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.607997387554817717&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"The Kindness Wave\" \/>I have found that when I make a conscious decision to be kind in whatever I do that I find more success. I have learned during the spiritual awakening process that it is important to be nice regardless of the situation. When you feel yourself \u00a0moving away from your kindness zone \u00a0take a deep breathe and \u00a0be nice. I have learned that people will not always treat you the way you want to be treated \u00a0be kind to them anyway. \u00a0I host a TV Show, The Anything Bucket, on www.wrpbitv.com that airs on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EST. One of my responsibilities is to secure guests. I am a bit surprised by people when they turn down the opportunity to be on the show. I find myself being a bit critical \u00a0then I realize that this does not serve me well so I remember the teachings that some will, some won&#8217;t, some waiting, so what, next. I also remember that it is not my job to drag them kicking and screaming along the path but to rather shine my light and show them that there is room on the path and when they are ready they can start. In learning to be kind and focus on the positive I am able to evolve spiritually and thus improve my life and be of service and value to others.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.607992937971188331&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"Demo in Words\" width=\"419\" height=\"261\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.608026443017289952&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"kindness\" \/>As you continue your journey on your spiritual path remember to treat everyone kindly not for an expectation of a great return but because that in the best way to honor GOD. \u00a0In the past I would get angry with people and focus on the negative now due to the spiritual awakening process I have learned that kindness is the key and to be kind to everyone. In a perfect world we would all be kind to one another and everyone would think rationale and act accordingly however I have learned that not everyone is on a spiritual plane of vibration that resonates with you so do the best you can with what you have and do your best to be kind.<\/p>\n<h2>Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Assist In Begetting Kindness!!!<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gmlmUsx_O68\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nwAYpLVyeFU\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.608011973269195484&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"believe in kindness\" \/>Keeping quotes like this and handing them out is great way to spread kindness.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.608002077671162420&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"DAILY AFFIRMATION FOR 30 MAY 2012\" width=\"166\" height=\"208\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sp.yimg.com\/ib\/th?id=HN.608009679756594125&amp;pid=15.1&amp;P=0\" alt=\"Louis L.
