This last week of RAK has really brought a lot to the forefront for me. I like to think of myself as a kind person naturally, and I hope that comes across in my personality. We all have our not so good days, but I also do my best to not bring what I am going through to those around me.
One of the traits I am working on is to be mindful of opportunities to be kind and courteous when it is not so obvious - like opening a door or waiting my turn.
Life is busy, and I can certainly be rushed at times. That tends to cause me to not worry about those around me, and think of myself first. Not only is this mediocrity, but is it not very courteous to others. Being courteous encompasses politeness, manners, and respect, among other great qualities. All qualities of kindness. Reflecting on my day helps as well, as it presents opportunities that I may have missed, or could have done differently.
Something as simple as a smile is a courteous to another, and something I know we can all definitely do. It just may make a difference to that persons day.
