Spreading positivity with a Passion for Kindness

Kindness

Humankind

“Kind” is literally in our species name. So, being kind should be second nature, right? Right! Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case, and showing kindness doesn’t always come that easy.

Showing kindness to strangers or during the heat of a moment is a challenge for all, and when we blow an opportunity to be kind, we are not very proud of ourselves.

On the flip side, when we are kind to others, especially when we are kind to strangers, it warms our hearts – and that act warms their hearts too!

Bonus, you have just created an emotional “pay-it-forward” moment, and it probably cost you nothing!

A passion project

What is a Passion Project?

A passion project can have any intent, yes? Isn’t this your project? Well, the quick research completed for this article actually leads one to think that passion projects are only “side gigs.”

A passion project is an activity or enterprise that you decide to take on—usually in your spare time–to gain some benefit for yourself. That is, it’s a challenge that you willingly embrace because you hope to gain something from it.

Passion Projects are creative side projects. They’re connected to your deeper meaning, and they have tangible outcomes.

The Passion Co.

This one is my favorite!

A passion project is something you work on (often outside of your chosen career path) that gives you satisfaction, happiness and puts you into a state of flow. It’s what you do to escape it all. It’s your tiny (or huge) contribution to the world.

Amy Shah M.D. from Mind Body Green 

I get it, I do. It’s because “project” is in the title and a project should have an ending.

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service.

Let’s put a pin in this just for a moment, shall we?

Kindness and Love

My newly found love? Our rescue fur-baby, and this blog. The articles and social media content have become my passion project.

Truth? I LOVE spreading inspiration, kindness, and joy!

I suppose my available topics have been a bit of a lay-up these past few weeks as we prepare for Christmas; celebrating these positive emotions – Hope, Joy, and Peace.

I promise to take my own advice and continue to spread Christmas Love throughout the entire year!

Compassion

Take Sundays are Simple. It started as a fundamental idea, a simple little reminder to take one day out of each week just for you. And the movement is definitely STILL exactly that. However, it has since morphed into something a little bigger and has become another avenue of inspiration.

And each day, if we all spread a little kindness, love, and compassion, it makes life a little easier.

Spreading positivity with a passion for kindness

Spreading positivity, joy and love is the simple act of showing kindness and compassion.

We can now unpin our “Passion Project” conversation from above and if you would please allow me the privilege of introducing you to a fantastic, positive and kind group – Green Renaissance project.

Green Renaissance

Sharing ideas, inspiring change.

We are a passionate collective of four creatives on a journey to share positive stories. We make films that excite us – we call these our passion projects.

Everywhere we look, we see a world filled with inspiration.

Sometimes it’s capturing a conversation with someone who appreciates the true beauty in the world. Other times it’s meeting interesting people who are inspired by nature.

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Justine reached out to me earlier this year to introduce herself and Green Renaissance. She pointed out what a great pairing we would make and asked that I share their work.

Well, after seeing a mere two minutes of the first movie, it was an easy yes! And after checking it out, I think you will probably agree with me!

I so want to be this lovely lady “when I grow up.” Her car, her style, and most importantly – her inspirational fun-loving attitude!

Enjoy her enthusiasm!

And this sweet woman, affirms Sundays are Simple.

She breaks it down a bit further. Noting how important it is to give yourself even just 10 or 30 minutes per day!

Absorb her attitude!

You should watch all of their videos, but you must watch this one!

“The only way you are going to be loved is if you give love.”

Our mission is to share our films freely.

With your help, we will be sharing at least one new film each week.

We want to spend our time producing only films that inspire. Films without a corporate agenda or linked to any advertising of brands or products. Films that can be uploaded online and shared freely. Curious to see what we have done so far? Visit our YouTube channel.

What do I love about Green Renaissance’s videos?

These are perfect little nuggets of positivity for you to taste, take into your heart, and then bring that positivity and passion for kindness into the world!

Love frees us to embrace all of our history, the history in which all things are being made new.

Until next time … Peace and Blessings, Friends!
