May 20 - Higher Love

Day 140 of a year of Kindness

My friend called me a couple of days ago and shared that she started dating someone. She was concerned that there were a few red flags. This man, in his late forties, was unemployed with no intention of being employed. He had no goals. He lived with his parents. He drank too much. On the plus side, he worked out.

All I could say to my smart, beautiful, talented friend was: “Do you know what a vision board is?” 

She did.

"Well," I said. "He wouldn’t be on it."

She called me today and told me that she created a vision board and Peter Pan didn't make the cut. It’s kind to want more from life than less - more from people than the bare minimum. It’s kind to believe in yourself and build a life you deserve.

Science of kindness: Research shows that vision boards help us imagine what a positive future could look like for us. People who visualize themselves achieving their goals have more confidence in their ability to succeed.
