Getting better at something doesn’t need to be as frustrating as we sometimes make it.
Take kindness for example.
It’s difficult to always be kind. In fact, it’s often counterproductive when you try to be more kind. You wind up frustrated with yourself for not being able to do it, you become short-tempered, you give off the vibe opposite of kindness.
The quickest and most painless way to be more kind is to be less unkind.
Gradually recognize moments you’re being unkind and change them. Have the foresight to know when you’re often unkind and go into that setting with a new perspective.
Many write about being 10 percent better.
Why not start being 10 percent less of the bad stuff?
Stay Positive & Getting Better Is Easier Than We Think
