Throughout our lives we are given many second chances. If we get speeding tickets while driving, instead of immediately loosing our license we get a second chance in the form of traffic school. Fail an exam in school, often one is given the opportunity to retake the exam or retake the course. One area where we are often denied a second chance is when we have been unkind toward another person. Often when traveling or vacationing we may be unkind to someone. It may be a server in a diner, a person at a hotel, someone at a theme park, just about anywhere. These are people we will most likely never encounter again in our life. The result is no second chance to be kind. I recommend making kindness a daily habit. Be kind in every situation and toward everyone you encounter. Being kind cultivates happiness and a greater sense of fulfillment in our lives and allows us to avoid the regret that comes with no second chance. If a family member, friend, coworker or anyone in your life should die unexpectedly and your last interaction with them was unkind, what torment you will carry the remainder of your days. To restate simply, I recommend kindness.
