Kindness Towards Others

Today I’d like for us to think about how we can be thoughtful and compassionate towards others.

Let’s go ahead and make someone else’s day and in return let’s receive the uplifting rewards that will surely be returned to us ten-fold.  Small acts of kindness allows for peace to travel deep into our being.  And peace is what we all seek for our lives.

You don’t have to look very far or try very hard to find ways to be good to others.  It’s perfectly fine to be kind to someone you don’t even know.  You may want to consider offering compassion towards someone that has become so familiar to you, like your spouse, sibling or a parent, whom you may have unintentionally taken for granted from time to time.

You will feel great delight in your heart, particularly when acts of thoughtfulness

Be thoughtful and compassionate towards others.

Be thoughtful and compassionate towards others.

become a daily habit. Don’t wait for a special occasion.  Ordinary days can be transformed into extraordinary days when little moments of thoughtfulness are gifted to others.  Be the shift in someone else’s day.  Be a bright light in a world shrouded in fear.  Others will wonder why you’re always smiling.  Why you’re always on the winning side of life.  You will know why and you can show others why; with your actions.  A simple act of kindness can change someone’s day for the better.  By planting seeds of kindness into someone else’s day you will, in affect, be growing acres of kindness across the far reaches humanity.

The more you are kind to others the more others will be kind to you.  If you want to reach your grandest self you have to be good to others.  Great abundance will be returned to you in many forms.  Love.  Friendship.  Career.  And so much more.

We were created to create.  In other words, we are not here to sit around and wait for good circumstances to come to us.  We are here to create our circumstances.  If you enjoy being treated warmly with expressions of love, then you must offer warm expressions of love.

A ‘me, me, me’ attitude is a selfish attitude and will return nothing but isolation.  A ‘we, we, we’ attitude is a selfless attitude and will return nothing but blessings.  If you are seeking a lifetime of happiness, be good to others.

Our children can learn so much from our examples of thoughtfulness, compassion, kindness and of giving to others.  In fact, one of the first lessons we teach children is to share.  Share a toy, for example.  It is not that your child is not deserving of the toy.  But when we ask our children to share their toys what we are really asking them to do is be thoughtful to others, to be compassionate, to be kind and to be a giver.

As we roll into the holiday season, let’s remember to be thoughtful and compassionate towards others.  More importantly, when the holiday season is over, continue to practice thoughtfulness and compassion each day so that it becomes a habit ingrained deep in your being.  Not only will your life be blessed with great abundance, but the lives of others will expand with great joy as well.

Happy holidays!

A ‘Joy Kid’ Leads Pixar’s “Inside Out”

I finally had a chance to see Pixar’s movie “Inside Out” this past weekend.  It took a while for the storyline to capture me, but it did.  The last half hour of the movie neatly tied everything together and I walked away thinking — wow, nice job!  You are saying exactly what Joy Kids Universe has been saying.  Thanks!

The “Inside Out” story is about a pre-teen girl named Riley whose outer physical io_Joy_standardinteractions are controlled by her inner emotions labeled Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust.  The five emotions operate a sophisticated computer network in Riley’s brain that suggest thoughts for Riley and receives back Riley’s reactions to those thoughts. Those reactions become recent memories that get stored in the computer as her long-term memories.  Positively charged Joy is like a super hero, constantly trying to fend off the other four negatively charged emotions, especially Sadness, who’s power is so great that she can change Riley’s past memories from happy to sad.

What the “Inside Out” movie portrays is that what we think about (focus on) and believe on the inside reflects how we behave and attract our circumstances on the outside.  This will sound very familiar to our Joy Kids Universe community.  It’s Law of Attraction 101.  And its for kids!  The movie has brought the “I AM” message to a broad audience of children, their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and caregivers in a fun, non-scientific way.  Bravo Pixar!  Bravo!

The Joyful Universe of Case Rose - A HAPPY Joybug Story

The Joyful Universe of Case Rose – A HAPPY Joybug Story

Most of our readers have heard about our little book titled “The Joyful Universe of Casey Rose – A HAPPY Joybug Story”.  The story is about a pre-school girl named Casey Rose who’s beliefs and joyful thoughts on the inside keep her happy and imaginative on the outside.  In the story, one of Casey’s toys accidentally bumps her on her head and Casey Rose becomes sad.  But the Joybug, Casey Rose’s super joyful friend, reminds her to think happy thoughts to help her bring back her smile.  Before long, Casey is happy again and she and the Joybug are off to their next adventure.

Both “Inside Out” and “The Joyful Universe of Casey Rose and the Joybug” promote positive and happy emotions inside to reflect a life filled with love and gratitude on the outside.  “Inside Out” even goes as far as to gently mock Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust (judgement).  Joy Kids Universe also discourages fear-based thinking and judgement of others while boosting a child’s essential development of love for themselves.

Please take the time to introduce a child to the movie “Inside Out” and to the book “The Joyful Universe of Casey Rose and the Joybug”.  Both are visually appealing and have a great message for children of all ages.

Oh, and one more thing.  If anybody knows anyone over at Pixar, please tell them that “The Joyful Universe of Casey Rose and the Joybug” book series is ready for its closeup!
