1 . “When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”
As we live through life, we tend to get caught up in our individual world, our problems — our life. When we
____ our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a
____ difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time.
Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.
Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just
____ getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I
____ a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was
____, I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without
_____, that same woman I had been judging offered to
____ the difference. It wasn’t
____, but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a(an)
_____ situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as
____as if it was yesterday.
Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which
____ my day. I've often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I
____to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be
____, which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In
____ case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day.
There are
____ ways to make a significant difference in another's life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not
_____ anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the
____ go far beyond the energy required to do the deed. Looking for ways to brighten another person's day raises our vibration(共鸣),and when we act on it, we
____ the other person to raise their vibration as well — it is
____ to each other.
Make a difference in someone's life today, and
____ doing so every day. Today is a perfect time to start! If you are already doing so. bravo!
