In A World Where You Can Be Anything…

28/12/2024

4 Comments

 

​“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” These words have resonated with me deeply since I first heard them. As we step into a new year, they feel more relevant than ever—a guiding principle for how we interact with the world and each other.

Social media gives us an incredible platform to share our passions, voice our opinions, and connect with people from all walks of life. For those of us fortunate enough to have built a larger following, this platform is both a privilege and a responsibility. It’s easy to let the numbers inflate our egos, but we must remain humbled by the opportunity to reach so many… To whom much is given, much is expected.

Our words and actions have impact. They can inspire, encourage, and uplift—or harm, discourage, and divide. As creators, artists, and communicators, we have the choice to use our platforms wisely, to foster compassion, connection, and positivity. Being kind isn’t about perfection; it’s about being mindful, accountable, and willing to care for others, even in challenging moments.

As we embrace the new year, let’s carry these sentiments forward. The world needs more empathy, humility, and shared responsibility—qualities that start with small, individual acts of kindness.

So, as we set our intentions for the year ahead, let’s resolve to use our voices and talents to create a better, kinder world. Whether through our words, actions, or art, we can make a difference.

Wishing you a peaceful and fulfilling New Year, filled with growth, creativity, and the realization of your dreams.


Let’s make 2025 a year of kindness and purpose, one step at a time.

I agree. We all have a duty to make a balanced view - there are things we personally do not like, and it’s ok to voice them, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to tear anything to shreds or belittle the subject. Let us all be kind…

    I love to paint and sketch and although predominantly a studio artist, I have discovered the joys of painting and sketching outdoors.
