Thanks for the 5 lessons. In an environment that has become so competitive and self-focused, it’s great to hear that there are still people out there that value friendship and the power of giving.

Laurie: Yes, our competitive and self-focused environment…friendships have certainly become more important these days. Thanks for visiting, Terry; I appreciate it.

Thanks for this post. I particularly liked “be” kind, which I took to mean actually caring about the other person. I get the sense that the best way to do this is to clear away the fears of others and of the world that have us see the world as hostile or unworthy of our gifts. And from that place you don’t have to use any techniques to convince anyone else you’re a good person.

Laurie: “Clear away the fears” – I like that…there’s a sense of strength in it. Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Chris. Thanks too for stopping by.

Your right being kind is simple and direct….It is so easy to do! We all should practice as much as possible.

Laurie: Would that be great? What a different place our world would be. Good to “see” you here; thanks!

Great advice!

I really like your 5 lessons. With kindness, the giver gets more long-term happiness than the receiver.

Laurie: Thanks for stopping by again, Roger. I appreciate your taking the time to visit.
