What would a world without meanness be like?

I am so lucky.  I have in recent months opened up to a world where people who are truly willing to contribute to, be grateful for and acknowledge me in ways I never thought were possible are showing up in my life, seemingly in droves!  I noticed that these people started showing up when I began to choose to be more kind, grateful and acknowledging of me, my life and everything I have created... even the funky stuff!

To me, a world without meanness starts where I choose to not be mean to me. Where I don't judge me and the choices I have made or haven't made.  There is a space of ease in my life, where I don't need to fixate on the past, or try to determine what I could have or should have done, or what I have to try and avoid in the future.  Instead I am grateful for every choice I ever made because it got me to where I am right now, where I am sitting here making the demand to never be less than I am and never be the effect of anything! 

I know I don't have to create my life based on the opinions of others and whether they were being kind or unkind, how much money I have, the relationships I am in, or whether I believe I deserve things or not.

I am not perfect.  I often forget how potent I really am.  I don't always think I can be and do everything I can be or do.  And I don't always choose it.  But then I look at the world around me, and I see the meanness that exists and I ask myself do I wish to be a perpetrator of meanness or a perpetrator of kindness in my world?  And the best way to start to change that is to give up being mean to me... to give up the judgment of me, to give up believing I do not have infinite choices, to give up the idea that there is or ever has been anything wrong with me, ever. It makes it so much easier to choose to be kind to others too, and to not judge other's if they choose to be not so kind.

In a world where meanness was not a reality, what greatness would be possible?  What if kindness, not meanness ruled the world? Would that be a world you would be truly grateful to live in?
