Did you see what this girl did?


This two-year-old girl was watching a cartoon in her parents living room.
At one point, one of the cartoon characters started to cry. you could actually see the tears coming out of their eyes.
This young girl grabbed a tissue from the living room, walked up to the television and started to wipe the screen. Trying to wipe the tear of the cartoon character. It was an incredible show of kindness, compassion, empathy, and love from this two-year-old girl. She truly believed that the cartoon character was crying and that her, with the tissue, would be able to wipe away its tears.
It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. and that was when I realized that we're wired for generosity but educated for greed. When we're young we have this energy to give, to serve, to be compassionate to be loving, to be kind. But as we go through life, when we're faced with people being extremely challenging, when we're faced with manipulation, when we're faced with people we don't trust, that also makes us close up.

Another example I saw was this statue of rabbits climbing up. And it was a complete statue made out of stone. And one of the rabbits looks like he was falling off. And this young man, this little, little child, was trying to push the rabbit to make sure that it didn't fall off.
It's incredible how we're wired for generosity, how we're wired for service, how inside of us we want to make a positive difference.
And all of the scientific evidence and research shows how those who volunteer, those who serve regularly, those who try to make an impact in the of other people are happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.

What can you do today that can make a difference in someone else's life?

what could you say to someone today that would absolutely change the week of their year?

what is the one thing that you can do that can truly change them the experience of even just one person on the planet?

My favorite quote from Muhammad Ali is that "Service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on earth."
No matter how much you have or how little you have, any word, any moment, any action, can have a huge ripple effect in our society and humanity. And today we need this more than ever. Random acts of kindness. Spreading love and empathy. Small acts, just simple small acts when multiplied by millions of people can truly change the world.

I hope you're going to be a part of that today.

The Secret for a Happy Relationship or Marriage M arriage expert John Gottman can sit with newly engaged couples for 15 minutes or less and predict with 94% success. The likelihood of whether that couple will be happily married or miserable and divorced. what is his secret? How does he do it? He says the key to relationship success does not lie in candlelight dinners. it is not found in trips to paris or horse and carriage rides under moonlit skies. It is not found in getting your partner a different gift every other week. And it is not found during long walk on the beach. G ottman says the most important factor for a happy marriage is attention. small moments of positive attention. When i heard this, I thought about my mom. When i was six, she told me that it was the little things that make the big difference. And as i look back on my parents' failed marriage, i see that it was those little things that eventually became non-existent and if you're reading th

Health Benefits Of Tea

Image
Traditional tea contains  polyphenols  including catechins, flavonoids, and tannins. Polyphenols are plant-based chemicals that may provide health benefits. Researchers have linked consumption of  flavonoids , in particular, to outcomes including a reduced risk of cancer and all-cause mortality in certain populations. However, scientists advise that more research is needed to say for certain if flavonoids can provide these benefits. Some studies have also linked tea drinking to outcomes including improved sleep and reduced stress. But it can often be hard to determine if tea drinking causes people to become more relaxed and sleep better or if people who tend to be more relaxed are also people who tend to enjoy tea.  But tea does contain  L-theanine , a compound that is used for stress and anxiety relief. Lastly, tea is also linked to mental alertness and improved productivity. Tea contains  caffeine  which can increase alertness. But it can also create a jittery
