You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you.
The Kindness Code: Crack the Vault of Good Inside You
Imagine being stuck on a path paved with slippery pebbles, trying to climb an impossibly tall mountain – that’s how most of us approach “being good.” We strain and struggle, only to slide back down with each push. Eckhart Tolle? He points to a hidden tunnel tucked within that very mountain, leading to a hidden oasis of kindness, empathy, and love – your own personal wellspring of goodness. The key? Finding the entrance.
Think of it like rediscovering your favorite scarf buried deep in your closet. You dig through piles, frustrated, until you remember – it’s always hung on that hook by the window! The goodness is there, snuggled inside you, maybe covered by worries or doubts, but waiting to be unearthed.
Remember that time you helped a stranger cross the street, or that moment you forgave someone who hurt you? Those weren’t forced acts of good, they were gentle ripples from your inner oasis spilling out. The more you connect with that source, the stronger those ripples become, washing over not only your own life, but the world around you.
So, ditch the climbing gear and step inside. Explore the quiet tunnels of your own being. You might be surprised at the sparkling goodness you find already waiting, ready to light up your life and touch the lives of others. You never have to “become good,” because you already are. You just have to rediscover the light within.
