Act of Kindness
Practice a mindset of harmony. To live a harmonious life doesn’t necessarily mean that you agree with everyone, but rather that you are willing and open to listen and engage in dialogue. Make an effort to be more understanding of another person’s point of view. It’s not always easy to really listen to a perspective that we may not agree with but it is often the best way to create a positive world infused with harmony. Remember, we are all different, each with our own perception. Honor each person’s viewpoint without want or need to convince them of your own.
