Lyrics

You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the keys under the mat
When childhood stars shine, always stay humble and kind
Go to church cause your momma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind

Kindness is love. Kindness starts with the most basic thoughts and actions.

Kindness in relationships can help couples feel safe, secure and emotionally intimate. It can also helps to feel cared for and understood. Kindness can help couples build trust which is foundational for marital satisfaction.

Lyrics

Hold the door, say please, say thank you
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb but
Always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride but
Always stay humble and kind

Building your character on kindness means showing patience, respect and peace for yourself and those you encounter.

Lyrics

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why
Bitterness keeps you from flying
Always stay humble and kind
Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you” ain't no pick up line so
Always stay humble and kind

So many great reminders in this song. The lyrics “Bitterness keeps you from flying” is one of my favorites. It holds us back, keeps us from being the best version of ourselves.

I appreciate a great lesson given through razor sharp lines of lyric. Hats off for this one; “Know the difference between sleeping with someone and sleeping with someone you love. ‘I love you’ ain’t no pick up line, so always stay humble and kind”. Treat intimacy with kindness and respect. Kindness in romance should be a given.

Think about this…

Are you careful in your thoughts and actions to ensure you are staying humble and kind?

Are you able to let go of bitterness?

Do you exercise kindness, patience and respect for yourself and for your sweetheart?

Key Take Aways

• There are universal truths about staying humble and kind

• If we humbly own our weaknesses and keep growing, we will experience a spiritual energy that keeps us in love

• Treat intimacy with kindness and respect
