Road to Kindness: 06-30-2019

​As we travel on our journey through life, we are often challenged to change the way we are so that we fit in. It could be in the workplace, in school, or with our neighbors. We may be challenged to do something or take an action that does not make us feel right. It takes a strong, confident person to stay focused on doing what is right and not change the way they act. God wants us to do the right thing and to be ourselves – to be authentic in our actions and to be kind and caring! This is God’s Way – The Road to Kindness!
 
This week we want to highlight a recent            acceptance speech that Dwayne “The Rock”    Johnson gave as he was awarded the 2019 Motion Picture and TV Generation Award. In his          acceptance speech, he said the most powerful thing that you could be “is to be yourself.” He talked about how he was challenged with changing the way he was so that he could fit in and be the actor that Hollywood wanted him to be. He made a choice to be himself and to be authentic. He went on to say that it is “important to be                 compassionate, caring, inclusive, and KIND –   because that is what matters.” When he was 15 years old, he was told a quote that has remained with him. He shared this quote: “It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice!” It is time to be nice and kind to everyone we meet! God Bless you!
