Unexpected Opportunities for Kindness


Wherever you are, you are there for a reason. There are times when the reason is patently evident. Other times you will need to be patient to understand why.

Having a "kindness consciousness" will enable you to better understand seemingly puzzling occurrences. The less you want to be in a certain place, the more you should be on the lookout for opportunities to make a difference in someone's life.
