One thing that becomes more apparent to me with every passing year is that we just never really know.

We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes of someone else’s life. The person posting the most fun, exciting moments on social media might feel like life is falling apart behind the scenes.

We don’t know if we’ll see our loved ones again. Things happen. Tragedies strike. A casual goodbye could be the last one—which is why it’s so important to make the moments count as much as we can.

We don’t know why people do the things they do. What seems wrong or unimaginable to us might feel perfectly valid to someone else, because they’re viewing life through a lens entirely different from our own.

We don’t know if the guy who cut us off on the road is having the worst day of his life.
We don’t know if the woman who seems to have it all could really use a friend.
We don’t know if the kid who acts up feels unloved at home and could really just use a hug.

We. Just. Never. Know.

So let’s be generous with grace and slow to assume.

Let’s make the calls and prioritize relationships over things that won’t matter in the long run.

Let’s say sorry when we should, and set boundaries when it's needed.

And let’s do our best to lead with kindness and an open mind—because those are two things this world surely needs more of.
