I know. My title is boring, right?
You may be asking, “Bo, can you be a little bit more sophisticated? Call kindness something else. Invent a big word…”
Okay, I can play that game.
If you want to be happy, enlarge your psychoneuralsensitivity and affective-interpersonalization skills…”
Nah.
I always believe that solutions are simple.
Friend, do you want to be happy in your relationships?
Answer: Be kind.
Oh, if only husbands become kind to their wives–and vice versa–a lot of marriages will be saved. And if only parents become kind to their kids–and vice versa–a lot of families will become great again.
Yes, I’m talking about old-fashioned kindness!
· To speak with respect.
· To be courteous.
· To show affection. (Hugs.)
· To give affirmation.
· To be gentle.
· To serve in the little things.
· To smile and delight when you see them.
· To encourage.
Do you know what’s sad?
I’ve seen some people who are very kind to friends–speaking to them with great gentleness. They smile at them. They make them comfortable. They defer to them. And yet these very kind and respectful people will turn around and scream at their own family! All of sudden, they’ll be rude, selfish, and uncommunicative.
If you want to create happy relationships, make a decision to be kind to everyone–your family members included.
I have 6 big recommendations for you. If you do these simple habits, your family life will be healed and blessed.
1. To Children: Say “I love you” to your parents at least once a day.
2. To Adult Children: Date your parents at least once a week; Just so you can talk and laugh and be together.
3. To Parents: Hug your kids at least twice each day–once before they leave the house (to fill their love tank before they conquer the world) and once when they arrive home (to heal their battle wounds).
4. To Parents: Pray over your kids once each day. Place your hands over their heads and declare God’s blessing to them.
5. To Married Couples: Praise your spouse at least 3 times a day. Never take each other for granted. You need to appreciate your spouse daily!
6. To Married Couples: Have a romantic date once a week. It doesn’t have to be expensive. A simple snack or desert will do. As long as you can chat and hold hands again.
Show kindness everyday.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez
