I love this post and your comment "It’s an interesting observation that if we feel satisfied and happy with our lives, then being kind to others and ourselves is quite effortless." You can't give away something that you don't have... so you need to learn to be kind to yourself before you can give it to others. I just read a wonderful article in the Atlantic by author Art Brooks called "How to Want Less". It's a great read about that elusive satisfaction (Mick Jagger - 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction'). Here's the link: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/03/why-we-are-never-satisfied-happiness/621304/. Thanks for talking about the importance of kindness....and showcasing movies that are reminders that 'there's no place like home.' 💜

I love this message of contentment. And now I guess I need to watch Kungfu Panda because I love all the others on this list!
