Hi, it's Robin Sharma. Welcome to the Mastery Sessions.

Hi, it's Robin Sharma and I'm really happy to welcome you to this Mastery Session,

which is called why kindness is not a weakness.

In this episode I'm gonna walk you through my philosophy

on why the heroes are kind.

In this episode I'm going to share my insights

on why kindness wins.

In this episode I'm going to offer to you

why the world needs more kindness and compassion more empathy and

relatability and to bring on audacity. You know we live in a world where the

dominant message of society is if you want to be a leader be sort of mean be

aggressive you know you got to thump your chest a little more if you want to lead the

field you got to speak a little bit louder if you want to lead the feel. You've got to be all about me

versus thinking about we. And so what I want to offer to you right now is simply a reminder because your wisest part knows the truth.

You know, on the last hour of your last day, when you reflect on your life,

if you were not kind, I think you're going to feel heartbroken.

One of my mentors when I was a young lawyer was a judge and a very special man. I learned so much from him I was so incredibly influenced by his commitment to excellence by his integrity and by his outright honor and a few years ago he had retired and I made the trek back to where he was living.

And we spent two glorious hours together where we remembered our best times when I was working for him. And towards the end of our conversation, I asked him for advice, you know, like, what's most important? What are the best lessons you've learned from life?

What suggestions do you have for me

as I go forward as I pursue my mountaintops?

And he said this and he said,

you know, he spoke of excellence and he spoke of honesty and then at the very end of our conversation he said and Robin please always remember to be kind.
