Are you a kind person?
How often do you perform acts of kindness? Are you on a path toward happiness? I recently read the book “Clear!: Living the Life your didn’t Dream of” by: Dr. Herman Williams and started thinking more about kindness. In the #CJJblog this week, I give you the author’s Four Levels of Kindness and I challenge you to implement them into your daily life. Enjoy.
