Rose Quartz
Kindness, gentleness, love, and compassion: If these are all symbolized by the color pink, it’s no surprise that rose quartz symbolizes the same. One of the most popular rocks sold today, its soft rosy hue has long been a favorite of those who strive to be kind and compassionate themselves. If it’s showing up for you now, then someone in your world is in need of your care and understanding. Maybe that someone is you? Just as this delicate rock needs to be kept out of direct sunlight (since too much harsh light can fade its delicate color), refuse to put yourself or others under the hot glare of judgment or contempt. Outrage can feel powerful and righteous, but it’s rarely the right choice. You’ll feel better, and so will your whole world, when you strive for kindness and love instead!
The Bottom Line
KINDNESS
“Aim for compassion, understanding, and love.”
One Or More Of These Messages Are For You
-
- Are you being as kind as you could be?
- What you give out is usually what you get back. If you’d like more acceptance and love, you may need to be more accepting and loving yourself.
- If you’ve been nursing resentment or indulging in outrage lately, try giving compassion and forgiveness a try.
- Challenge yourself to add more of what’s good to the world, instead of trying to eradicate what’s bad.
- Like the soft colors of rose quartz, love is soft, gentle, and sweet. If what you’re feeling is hard, harsh, or unyielding, that’s not it.
- If you tend to be judgmental, unkind, or harsh to yourself, stop it right now! Make self-kindness your most important priority from this moment forward.
- Never confuse kindness with people pleasing, enabling, or indulging. Sometimes kindness means gently telling someone no, and that includes yourself.
- And, for sure, if someone is hurting you, that’s not love. In that case, the most loving thing you can do is get the help you need to leave.
