Your Type Eight EnneaThought for the Day:

"Do you dismiss a daily spiritual practice as a waste of time? Try three acts of kindness, such as giving someone a compliment, providing a helping hand to a stranger, or allowing someone else to get in line ahead of you. Let that be your practice for today."

Seems to me that this generation dismisses spirituality in preference to their iPhone, galaxy tablets or whatever is the buzz at the time. It is a race to get the best apps, to have the trendiest gear and the best paying jobs where you do the least amount of work!There is little time for what little spiritually might be at the bottom of the inherited DNA.

However, today, I am called on to try three little acts of kindness ..

My challenge to all of you is to try three little acts of kindness with me.

1. Turn off the mobile phone when you are sitting down with someone for a coffee.

2. Buy a book and read it cover to cover before you watch any more youtube videos.

3. If you must argue with someone, meet them face to face and talk it out .. there is so much more to facial responses that the little smiley marks can convey!
