Write on a piece of paper the following affirmation (or one similar that fits your case): "My kind thoughts transform my world." Repeat it often. Post it on your refrigerator. Sing it. Share it with a friend. In your mind and heart, imagine a picture of the end result of this affirmation, for yourself and for others. Be that transformed person you want to see in others. Create your own reality mindfully, consciously, and deliberately. Others will certainly grasp your essence and follow your steps.
— Jean Maalouf, The Healing Power of Kindness
