We all spend a lot of time and effort trying to improve our bank accounts. We save and invest, because we know that over the years, that compounding interest will provide a nice nest egg for retirement.
But what about your kindness account? The compounding effect over time in this account, can yield all kinds of rewards, -some much better than money!
I like to think about it like this.
Each time I don’t react in anger, and I show compassion, I make a deposit. Each time I direct my brain to look for the good and I express appreciation, BOOM – another deposit. When I choose to look in the mirror and love everything I see, my kindness account grows.
Sometimes it might feel like too much of an effort. Being angry feels more powerful, so we indulge a little and actually enjoy it in the moment. But dang it, it always makes a hefty withdrawal from our kindness account and leaves us feeling worse.
