The Power of a Kind Word by Randi Smith-Todorowski

They who give have all things; they who withhold have nothing.

-Hindu Proverb

Perhaps you have heard that the gift is in giving.  Whenever we asked my grandfather what he wanted for his birthday, he would reply, "Just a kind word."  As a child, my mind would run rampant with all the things I would have said if someone would just ask me what I wanted.  I wanted clothes and I wanted to travel the globe and I wanted new bedroom furniture.

Today I understand that things are just things, but a kind word can truly be priceless.  If you believe in the Laws of the Universe, you must give more of what you would like to receive more of.  Since the gift is truly in giving, go out today and experiment.  See how much richer your world becomes when you simply glue a smile on your face and find a kind word for everyone you encounter today.  Do not be selective.  Begin with the first person you see, a loved one, the driver in the car next to you, the barista making your coffee.  Don't stop there.  Carry this exercise through your entire day and I guarantee, by the time your head hits the pillow, the pretend smile you started with will actually be convinced it belongs to you.

What does this have to do with self-defense?  Stress, depression and aging are all rooted in negative thinking.  It is easy to suggest you have a positive outlook and attitude, but where is the how-to?  We all know that we should have a positive attitude.  Now you know the secret.  Give more of that which you would like to receive more.  Remember, the gift is in giving.  Start by giving a kind word and see your world will be ever brighter.  Go ahead be a Black Belt in Life- Smile and shine!

Randi Smith, a 3rd degree Certified Black Belt Instructor believes everyone deserves to be armed with confidence.  She is on the Board of Directors of the international Association of Women's Self-Defense Advancement  as well as a Board Member of the National Association of Women Business Owners in Phoenix.  It is her goal to inspire others tobe empowered!
