Be the best version of yourself.
No matter what the world throws at you, it’s important to strive to be a better person and inspire people to do the same along the way.
It’s easy to fall prey to negativity. It’s everywhere!
It can be seen every morning on the subway ride to work when people are just trying to get in, forcing themselves in, no matter who gets hit by their backpack. It’s in the loud neighbor’s voice and music blaring at ungodly hours. It’s in that jealous relative’s barbs. It’s always out to get you to lower yourself and give in to the negativity. And you are only human to give in.
But being human also means you should step back and observe the situation and yourself before you blurt out something that you’re sure to regret after the fact.
It does not matter if they started it; you are responsible for your own behavior, not them. That is why you need to hold yourself accountable every time you slip. But mostly, you need to choose to be a better person in any situation. That’s right, I believe that we can and should choose to be a better person.
