Choose Kindness. This coloring page is from Live Your Dreams Coloring Journal.

It takes real courage to stay kind in a world that sometimes forgets how.

When you’re hurt, disappointed, or tired, it can feel easier to shut down, lash out, or turn away. But that’s where kindness becomes a radical choice.

Kindness doesn’t mean being passive. It means being powerful without causing pain.
It means leading with heart when it would be easier to harden.

We can’t always fix someone’s pain.
We can’t erase every injustice.
But we can choose to show up with love anyway.

Let your kindness be contagious.
Let it interrupt bitterness.
Let it soften a hardened heart – maybe even your own.

Speak kindly to yourself.
Be patient with your own progress.
Extend to yourself the same compassion you offer others.

And, let the kindness within overflow:

• Smile to a stranger.
• Send a text that says, “I’m thinking of you.”
• Pause instead of making a snap judgment.
• Hold the door.
• Let someone merge.

The world may never give you an award for being kind.
It may never say “thank you.”
But, you’ll leave a trail of light that speaks louder than words.

So today – and every day after: Choose kindness.

This is week 46 of my coloring journey.  I love the Forrest Gump feels my colored page is giving.  “Mama always said, ‘Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re going to get.” Although we can’t control what life throws at us, we can control how we react.  I hope with each action, you’ll choose to lead with kindness.

If you have the Live Your Dreams Coloring Journal, and have already colored this page, I’d love to see how yours turned out!
