Do Not Take Initial Kindness for Granted—What April 10th Teaches Us About 'How to Maintain Good Relationships'

Getterz Iida has compiled
words that accompany each of the 365 days of the year into one book. It is a book that reminds us with
gentle words of
important things we often overlook in our daily lives.

To gain new insights in my daily life, I also
receive and share these words every day. I would be happy if you could
pause for a moment at the start of your day and read them.

This time, the theme for April 10th is
'Everyone is treated kindly at first'.

What these words convey is the perspective that
'Your luck changes based on how you receive the kindness you get at the start and how you behave afterward'
.

Overview

When people enter a new environment, they are often welcomed with kindness by those around them.

Whether it's in the workplace, romance, or friendships—in any relationship, you are often
'helped and supported at the beginning'.

However, the reality is that this kindness is often less about 'you being special' and more about

'the aspect of it being given because it is the beginning'.

If you start thinking 'I deserve to be treated kindly' here, people will gradually drift away, and the flow of your luck will change.

On the other hand, those who are grateful for the kindness they received at the start and in turn
return that kindness to those around them will
continue to be blessed with good connections and see their luck improve.

Key Points to Remember

■ 'Initial kindness' does not last forever

The kindness given at the start is, so to speak, a 'bonus period'. It is important to know that it
will not last forever.

If you forget that premise, the balance of the relationship can easily collapse.

■ Thinking 'I deserve to have things done for me' drives luck away

If you get used to being treated kindly and start feeling that
'it is only natural to have things done for me', human relationships will quietly fall apart.

From the moment your sense of gratitude fades, your luck may also begin to drift away.

■ From the 'receiving side' to the 'giving side'

From the side that was treated kindly at the start, now become the one who treats others kindly first.

This shift in consciousness is
personal growth and an action that invites good fortune.

■ In new environments, prioritize "gratitude" and "small acts of kindness"

In a new place, be especially conscious of saying
"thank you" and showing "a little bit of thoughtfulness".

Those small accumulations will
greatly influence your future relationships and the flow of your luck.

Initial kindness may be
a time when you are being tested on how you will behave from here on out.

That is precisely why, rather than taking that kindness for granted, you should
accept it and give it back.

That cycle creates
long-lasting connections and a calm flow of good fortune.

Within the day today, try to be conscious of at least one
"act of kindness from yourself".

Just by doing that, the flow of your future should begin to change little by little.
