Why is it so hard to be KIND

 Why is it so hard to choose kindness?


One of the worst human tendencies is to harshly and unfairly judge people of the past and present.

We have an enormous intolerance for humans being human.

We live in a culture that often confuses doing what's right with being superior or self-righteous.

The honest initiative to better the world gets crushed by intolerance for minor mistakes and flaws.


It's human nature to act unwisely and unlovingly occasionally.

Especially during moments when you are mentally or emotionally weak or worn out.


After analyzing my own imperfect life, 

I can say this with utmost clarity 


“The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people”


It may sound corny, but it's as true as any statement. Kind people get more kindness out of the world. It enriches their lives and the lives of others.

What I see a lot, especially in men, is that being empathetic is a sign of weakness. This cannot be further from the truth. You're empathetic because you...

Say YES to DisComfort

We all like to be comfortable. We enjoy staying underneath our covers when we get up, rather than starting our day. We enjoy sitting on the couch than going for a workout. It's a common trend: as humans, we innately favor comfort over discomfort. This is dangerous. Without discomfort, we become stagnant. It's so necessary for us to seek discomfort. Discomfort forces us to stretch our belief of what we're capable of. It forces us to not stay the same person. Most important, it forces us to grow. If you never feel discomfort, you aren't growing. The only way to improve is if we feel overwhelmed with discomfort. Mentally, physically, emotionally, you should aim to be stretched as far beyond what you think is possible. You transform when this happens. Stop hiding from discomfort. Stare it down. Sprint towards it. Embrace it, and learn to love it. When you learn to love discomfort, you become an invincible force. Nothing scares you, which opens up the world. You'll h...
