Beauty is in the Reflection of the Mirror Gazer

     For those of you who participated in the Google Challenge, I have another one for you. Especially for you women :) But first, I must say a few words...

     I am so tired of hearing people say and do demeaning things to people who may not be super model material because we feel we are better than them. If we are ever going to grow as a society, we need to begin building each other up. Instead, people tear each other down just because someone's internal beauty falls on blind eyes.

     When I was in high school, I was verbally bullied about my body and it gave me some serious insecurities. I wasn't even overweight! It took me years to overcome the self doubt and feeling of not being good enough.

     And girls, I am calling you out. We are the worst when it comes to "hating" on people, especially other women. Who cares if her shoes aren't as nice as yours, or she doesn't dress as well as you. How do you know she didn't give her nicer things to somebody that needed it more than her? We should be ashamed of ourselves.

     Take a page out of this 8th grade girl's book. We have enough pressure to look like perfection from people that don't know us. So here is what WE, men and women alike,  are going to do.

     The next time you are hanging with your buddies and you see somebody you would normally make a rude joke or sarcastic remark about, stop yourself and find something about that person that warrants a positive remark. Or if you are standing in line somewhere, and you think a nice thought about the person next to you, give them the compliment. Let them hear it.

PAY FORWARD THE POSITIVE!!
