It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!


If you haven't noticed, I live vicariously through pictures and quotes to help motivate me or keep my brain in line with life :) Being nice has it's benefits and I, honestly, wish more people would just be that. Nicer. 

Our world is filled with so much negativity and hate it's sometimes hard to believe we live in one of the most "wonderful" countries ever. Don't get me wrong, I love Murica, but sometimes there are days where you just wish you could find a place somewhere else that is a little kinder. 

For the love of all sanity, stop bullying people because they aren't just like you. I've seen this quite a bit with weight issues of my own. Just because I'm not made to be a size 2 (and I will never be a size 2. My body is not built that way), doesn't mean I'm fat or obese. Just means I was blessed with a few more curves than the next girl. I applaud "fat" girls in the gym. Get it! Good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone for all eyes to see. That takes a lot of guts!!! And I mean a lot! So, how dare you to the ones who judge them. How dare you criticize them for trying. At least they are trying! They will be the ones that blow you away 6 months later rocking that awesome body :)

The world is cruel when it comes to size and looks. Stop looking and comparing yourself to the models in the magazines first of all. Those are airbrushed. Period. You want to see a model up close? Go to a fitness show and watch them. That is the real deal when it comes to modeling in my opinion. I mean, lets face it, I, or anyone, could put on a skimpy piece of clothing, tons of make up, and have the right lighting for my camera and look just as hot. But that's not me. I'm the girl walking around without make up, in yoga pants, and a t-shirt or tank top depending on the time of year and my hair is usually all over the place (the joys of naturally curly hair lol). That is what MOST women enjoy looking like because its comfy, but because society has deemed that as sloppy, you rarely see it, which leads to the name brand elite bunch of women who freak out when they forgot their mascara for the day. Ladies- it will be ok. I promise. And just FYI, men don't notice. I've had my fair share of crappy relationships, and not one of them ever commented on my make up :)

Point of this post is this, be nice. Be nice to everyone in your corner. Be nice to your enemies. You will have plenty of them. Being nice keeps you humble. Being nice gets you an honorable reputation. Being nice just leaves you in a better mood overall. It's important to be respected in a good way. The worst thing you want to do is ruin your reputation because you kicked someone while they were already down. And this is especially easier to do via social networking. Be the change you want to see in the world. You want peace? Then start delivering it every day to the ones around you and the ones you meet along the way. It will be contagious :)
