What are we here for?
A question as old as humanity.
After seven short decades on this Earth, I have come to believe that the purpose of life is not fame, fortune, or simply getting through another day.
I have no formal education to frame this answer. Life has been my classroom. And one of its greatest lessons has been this: we can spend so much time regretting yesterday and worrying about tomorrow that we miss the life happening right now.
Watch a young child absorbed in play. For that moment there is curiosity, discovery, and joy in simply being alive. No past, no future, only the now.
We cannot abandon our responsibilities, but we can stop allowing them to consume every moment. We can learn from the past, prepare for the future, and still enjoy today.
For me, life finds purpose in experiencing happiness, sharing it with others, and caring for the world that makes our lives possible.
That is why the Foundation for World Harmony is built on three commitments:
- Be kind to yourself.
- Be kind to all others and creatures.
- Be kind to our Mother Earth.
We believe kindness leads to happiness. These commitments give us a way to put that belief into practice.
I placed kindness to yourself first because I believe it is the most important—and often the hardest. Many people will make time for everyone else while putting their own needs last. They speak to themselves with a harshness they would never use with a friend.
You deserve your own kindness, too.
That means caring for yourself, forgiving your mistakes while learning from them, and making room for the people and activities that give your life meaning. It also means taking responsibility for the choices you can change.
Would you like more happiness, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of purpose in your personal and professional life? Then give yourself the time to practice these commitments.
Joining the Kindness Revolution is a beginning. Living it is a daily choice.
Do you have time for yourself and your happiness? If you keep postponing that time, when will it come?
One of our greatest challenges is that the Kindness Revolution is free. Too often, people overlook what costs nothing. Yet a gift can be valuable beyond any price.
There is no membership fee. What we ask for is your attention, your effort, and your willingness to turn kindness into action.
This is my gift to humanity. What you do with it is your choice.
As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.
Your choices today can help shape your happiness, your future, and the future of our planet.
Make those choices kind.
