There are millions of possibilities for what the kindest thing to do might be in a certain situation but one of the ways I’ve found in my life to get this right and know exactly what to “do” almost always comes from slowing down (even if its only for a split second) and “listening”…truly listening and allowing the kindness, the love, or the gratitude to show up and win the moment or the day.
Being kindness over fear or doubt or judgement always wins on the only scorecard that matters.
