Being Kind Comes Before Being Right

I'm currently in a year-long coaching program called "Big Fish Nation". One of the 7 principles that we focus on is: "Always have being kind come before being right." It is an awesome principal. I think that as business owners, or even as being coaches, we get caught-up in 'being right'. But, to start a meeting, or to go into a networking event, with that principal has totally changed my outlook. I come from a place of kindness vs. selfishness, and I see and feel people react differently to me; and more importantly, I react differently to them.

So today, Valentine's Day, try walking around with this new thought: "Always have being kind come before being right." Notice what happens in your thoughts, your body, and in your interactions with others. Just imagine if all of us had this thought, and 'wore' it regularly, what a different world this would be.
