The first half of the last paragraph is a lot of the 'I' type talk that is done in 12 step groups. I find it the most practical, not as a specific method to follow, but as thought provokers to how the concept applies to me.

BTW, I have chosen to do the kind things, independent of whether they are noticed. It's nice when they are. I think that kindness with a purpose isn't kindness, it's manipulation. Sooner or later it will backfire. IMO
