To be the best possible you that you can be

Iwas fully occupied the other day.The sun was out,the radio was playing,and I was singing along.The song was a joyful one and even my weak voice sounded good singing it.Then it happened,however.The sweet sound of the music ended and was replaced with the dreaded news break.

Finally,I could take no more and turned off the radio.Silence seemed preferable to listening to anything else about the crazy,competitive society we live in.I slowed down as I entered a local town and watched the people as I drove by.

A tall man was helping an elderly lady out of a car and helping her position her walker so she could go into a local store.

A smiling woman was tossing birdseed into her backyard while a dozen Robins flew down to enjoy the feast being laid out before them.

A young father was walking along,carrying his two-yearold daughter safely in his arms.They were both smiling in the sun.I laughed too as I looked at all of this kindness.It felt like a glimpse of heaven.The radio must have been off in my car,but in my heart I was still singing.

In truth,this world could use a little more kindness and a lot less competition.Kindness makes us all winners in this life.Kindness reminds us that we are all God's children.Kindness shows us that we don't have to beat others in this world.

We just have to love them.May all of your moments here then be full of kindness,love,and joy.And may your only competition be with yourself:to be the best possible you that you can be.

前幾天我忙得不可開交。太陽出來了，收音機播放著，我跟著里面唱起歌來。歌曲的旋律歡快，甚至我五音不全也能唱好。突然優美的音樂停止了，取而代之的是駭人聽聞的一些消息。

最終，我不堪忍受這些負面新聞之重而關掉了收音機。此刻的寧靜比聽那些揭露社會瘋狂、競爭等令人糟心的新聞要好多了，當來到當地的一個鎮上時,我減速行駛，看經過的人來人往。

一個身材高大的男子正在幫一位行動不便的老婦人從車里出來并幫她安放好助步器，這樣她就可以去當地的商店。

一位面帶微笑的婦人，正在她的后院給一群知更鳥投食，那些鳥兒可以大快朵頤。

一位年輕的父親走來，將他兩歲的女兒摟在臂彎，看起來安全感十足。在陽光下，他們都開心地笑著。當看到生命中這些溫暖美好的事情，我也笑了。這感覺就像天堂一瞥。盡管車里廣播被我關了，但是我的心仿佛隨著之前播放的歌曲，悠揚地唱了起來。

我所感到生命的真諦是，這個世界可以多一些美好，少一些競爭。帶著善意讓我們每個人都是贏家，讓我們覺得自己是上帝之子，不需要打敗這個世上的任何人。

我們只要施與愛。愿生命的每一刻都平順喜樂。愿我們永遠都以超越自己為目標，成為最好的自己。
