THE ULTIMATE UNTAPPED POWER
is gentle as a breeze, but it's not wind;
is nourishing as water, but it's not rain;
is warm as flames, but it's not fire.
Wait. The ultimate "untapped power"
in our world.... is not wind, rain or fire?
Then what?
Kindness. Nothing much. Only kindness.
Tap it today. Don't wait. Tap it today.

Mouse over the poem to see the rest of the words.
Think kindness isn't all that great a power? Consider the influence of some people in history who grasped the power of kindness: Mother Teresa, Walt Disney, Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi, Raoul Wallenberg, the Dalai Lama..... Jesus.
Perhaps you think kindness is just nice and sweet and kind? Consider the fact that every "suicide prevented story" in the Chicken Soup books is prevented with kindness.... often just a small act of kindness. That's power. It's an incredible power that can and does prevent suicides every day. It can't prevent every suicide, nothing can do that. But it can prevent about 85% of the ones we're failing to prevent right now. Doubt it? The proof is in those suicide prevented stories in every "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book. I'm telling you with the authority of one to whom it was administered. That's why I'm so convinced it is in essence the Heimlich Maneuver for depression, especially suicidal depression. I had thirty years of every other kind of treatment to compare it to. That's why it stood out so clearly.
Chances are, if you'll remember back, every time you've ever been pulled back from a brink of despair, someone's kindness was what did it. I'll bet every time you can remember when you were feeling terrible and you suddenly felt healthy and better, kindness was what did the trick. Think about it. If that's not power, what is?
Okay fine.... kindness, it's a power. So what? There's a lot of power going around this world. So kindness is no big deal. Right? Wrong. Unlike most power, kindness is a free and limitless power. It's free to everyone. It's free no matter your color, gender, sexual or religious preferences, age, education, financial situation, whatever... it's free to us all. You can exercise your power of kindness as much as you like, as often as you like.
I've found the most important information almost everyone needs and almost no one has: The Power of Kindness (which is essentially the Heimlich Maneuver for depression) and also the fact that negative emotions like depression, anger, anxiety, and loneliness are gifts to be used rather than arbitrary punishments we just have to suffer or control. Now all we've gotta do is put this information in the right hands. Who's hands? Everyone's. Just like the Heimlich Maneuver to stop choking, everyone needs to know this for it to be worth a damn.
What's a damn worth? Since 1961 when Dr. Heimlich first introduced his maneuver to the world, so far it's saved over 50,000 lives. It's prevented over 50,000 funerals. It's prevented the UNnecessary trauma of over 50,000 families and friends. So a damn is worth quite a bit. Especially when it's one of your own. I've used Dr. Heimlich's Maneuver on my daughter Christie two times. She's still with us. She wouldn't be if Dr. Heimlich hadn't worked his tail off making sure everyone knew about it. With tears I say, "Thank God for him and every single person that helped him." Thank you for helping me keep Christie. She's 31 now, sharp, hilarious, kind, generous. My grandson is 12. He's going to be a hugely popular stand-up comedian someday. Wait and see. He wouldn't even have been born if it weren't for the people that spread Dr. Heimlich's Maneuver. That's the power of spreading things that actually work to save lives.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. I'm not determined that everyone will begin to use their power of kindness daily or use their negative emotions rather than just suffer and control them. But I am determined that everyone will hear the concepts. They'll know they have the options. That's why I speak to you directly and say sincerely, please share this. There's no telling who it'll save or who will use it to save someone. But it works when you share it. And it doesn't when you don't.
