Everyone you know is hiding some level of pain. Be Kind.

41/334

Think about the people in your life – your family, friends, and even acquaintances. Everyone has their own story, their own struggles, and their own pain. And yet, we often put on a brave face and pretend everything is okay. We don’t want to burden others with our problems, and so we hide our pain behind a mask of strength. But the truth is that everyone is carrying around some level of hurt. The next time you see someone you know, take a moment to reach out and show them some kindness. A simple act of love can make all the difference in the world. It might just be the light that someone needs to get through a tough time. So be kind, always, because you never know what another person is going through. You never know how much your act of compassion will mean to them.
