Recently I was reading through some posts on Facebook and this particular one really caused me to look within myself. This woman was driving in traffic like any normal day. She saw there was a sign in the back window of the car in front of her. As she pulled up to an abrupt stop she read the sign which said: "Sorry for the poor driving, I am still learning how to drive stick". Like any normal person, she respected that and was patient with the driver in front of her.

She continued to write on her post, if she had not seen that note her perspective would have been so different towards that driver. The women made a point to address, what if everyone wore a sign on there back about what baggage they constantly are carrying. Everyone would treat every individual they encountered so differently.

It really brings perspective when thinking about how we treat people we do not know. Or even the judgment's that are constantly passed on through that little voice in our head. It is a human issue through the individualistic culture we are brought up in. It is always looking out for yourself and doing what is best for you.

Yes, I do believe in do believe in looking out for yourself but that does not mean one cannot have empathy. Humility is lost these days due to opposing political views, and not agreeing with someone's way of life. We are all human, who feel hurt, sadness, and insecurities. Some days it is just easier to hide it than others.

We have all had that one time where you wish someone would have just been nicer to you because they do not know what you had encountered that day. It is true, there is not imaginary ink on your forehead exclaiming your mood that is why kindness in everyone needs to be consistent.

More often than not, we allow ourselves to believe there is more good than bad. Which truly is how we keep going as individuals, I believe success is a series of small wins. It all circulates back into treating others how you want to be treated.

I know the days where I don't feel like I have much to give, that one judgmental look and even backhanded remark really is icing on top of the crap cake. In comparison to when someone gives me a smile or even tells me I am important and suddenly I can feel the sunshine again.

If we spent more time being patient, and kind with each other there would be less pain in the world. At least as individuals when you treat people well, you feel better. Kindness is an infectious thing, it can be spread for miles just from person to person.

Let's start treating others like they have that imaginary sign on their back. Hold other people up, you could be that one person that saves a life simply because you gave a stranger a smile.
