We
rise by lifting others.
Kindness
"the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate." It's not hard is it!
If
I asked most people how would you like your child to grow up I'd hope they'd
say happy, healthy, kind and caring or words like that.
I
don't think "skinny & pretty" are our priority - I do hope not
anyway!
When
I ask people to tell me their qualities they usually say words like 'kind',
'loving', 'caring' 'make people laugh'. People with these traits are the type
of people I want in my life not the self obsessed, selfish kind.
If
you have a child or you are an influence in a child's life, please make sure
you showing the values we want to see in our works.
Also
make sure they know it's okay to be them, to be unique, to be different, to be
whatever the heck they want to be, they don't have to confirm to the
stereotypical image that's portrayed by the silly magazines and social media.
In
other words tell them to be BeYOUtiful, to be the own kind of wonderful.
Last
night was an emotional meeting as we shared our "whys", one young
ladies why hit a few cords and memories with others I think by the tears in
eyes round the room. We've all been called names in our lives, we've all had
people be mean to us, it's hurts. Imagine if the generation that's being raised
now was taught that being mean isn't necessary, that spreading love and being
kind wins every time. I like the sound of that world.
Imagine
if when people decided to lose weight it was for themselves, to get healthier
and take care of themselves and not because they knew people were judging them
on their size or because someone had said something mean to them!
Imagine
if we loved ourselves as much as we loved those important people in our live.
If we took care of ourselves as much as we are willing to take care and
prioritise everyone else.
Difficult
to imagine? No wonder there were tears in people's
eyes last night. We really do need to start being our own best friends.
The
only way to make a happier, caring and kinder world is to lead by example, they
don't miss a trick these kids, they replicate what they see, they become
fresher versions of what they are surrounded by that is unless you show them
and teach them to change direction and be themselves.
Enjoy
your day, I plan too xx
