You're Doing Better Than You Think: A Kind Reminder

Daily Dose of Integrity

A kind person reminds you that actually, you are already doing really well.

There's no pressure required. You're on top of things.

A lot of people like to sell themselves a story about how badly they're doing, but often it doesn't line up with evidence.

How many times have you said to yourself "I'm broke"? Well, how much money do you actually have? How come you got a roof over your head? How come there's food in the fridge? What do you mean by “broke”?

Kindness isn't necessarily saying something like "Oh poor you!", that's pity. Kindness is reminding people, and sometimes challenging them, that they're actually doing all right.

If you think "Oh, I'm a loser", think again: you are still here, fighting a good fight. A loser wouldn’t do that. If you are not a winner then how have you been able to survive for all of these years? A loser wouldn't be here.

I don't mean to disrespect anyone who's passed away. On the contrary, I am pointing out one thing that I always keep in mind: for any living human being—suicide is an option. I'm in no way recommending it! Rather, I am trying to remind you of this: if you haven't taken that option, despite being aware that it's available, then you're a fighter! Have you forgotten that?
