Hello All!
Today I over heard some people gossiping about a co-worker they didn't like. As I was sitting quietly enjoying my lunch at a quaint little manhattan restaurant, I couldn't help but over hear the vile rhetoric coming out of these adult mouths. This really made me think about our society and what it has become. But with that being said, I think - no, I know - it runs much deeper than that.
How can we expect to talk nice about others if deep down we are constantly talking bad about ourselves? We are always putting ourselves down. And let it be known, everyone, that when I write these blogs I am also speaking to myself. I believe that if we started to be nicer to the one that truly matters most (ourselves) then that kindness would carry out into the real world. But we are so unhappy and focused on how we look, that we don't have what he/she has (the dream job, the dream boyfriend/girlfriend, the dream house or car), and that our lives are at best sub par.
I believe we can change the world, but it must start with us as individuals. We must remind ourselves that we are enough and our lives have value. All external distractions are just that, distractions. So, let's not talk or gossip about others even if they are mean or hurtful toward us. Let's remember that we are all doing the best we can with the tools we have been given, and we should remember to never take things personally, Simonton Say's.
Till next time.

Yes! Life gets better when we dwell on the positive -- I went down the negative road for a long time, and not one thing in my life improved. But, looking at the world with a positive attitude has helped a lot. And, positivity is contagious! I don't think there's such a thing as too much kindness. Here's hoping that love and kindness grow each day!
ReplyDeleteHi Janice! Well said! I am glad you found your way out of the negative. It takes a strong willed person, Bravo! Have a great weekend my dear. XOXO George
DeleteBrilliant commentary, George. I've always said if women would stop being so hard on themselves and other women we could rule the world. If people are unhappy about something they perceive in you, well...that's their problem not yours.
ReplyDeleteHello my dear! You hit the nail right on the head. Keep up the good fight! Be an inspiration to women because I can tell you are a beautiful light! Talk to you soon. Your designer friend, George
DeleteSuch a beautiful way to start my day dear George ! We are told to love others as we love ourselves, but it has to start with us. We are ALL made in the image of our GOD , how can that be anything but beautiful!!!! Gossiping and putting each other down is not only hurtful to the listener but hurts ourselves also, it feeds our spirit negativity, and shows our own character.......let's all try and live ourselves for who and what we are, we are all beautiful in our own way, let's try and see beauty in others, give it a try, it could be contagious and others may follow in our footsteps! I always believed in doing random acts of kindness, and give a smile to a stranger, it just might make their day, and it fills our hearts with love for mankind. Have a wonderful day George, you inspire us and help us to see the beauty in ourselves and the beauty that is all around us, blessings and peace, love Judy
