You Should Be A Source Of Empowerment And Here's Why
Preservation Of Moments

Today I'm going to discuss empowerment and why it's important.

I consider myself to be a source of positivity. I have a natural love for acknowledging others and empowering them. I don't think I have a reason, it's just how I am.

I just have a love for making people feel special because everyone is special. Everyone has a certain unique quality and I believe that it should be acknowledged more often.

A funny thing about compliments and empowerment is that we don't really believe those things until someone else says them to us. We just exist and we just take ourselves as we are and we don't really believe things until they come from someone else.

A key to empowerment is that you have to learn to empower yourself. You have to see everything you do. Everything you're capable of. You have to learn to love yourself and you will cross paths with the people you're meant to cross paths with.

Doing good brings good karma to you. Your efforts count. You'll cross paths with those people who truly make an impact on you and you'll make an impact on them too.

The most important thing is that you know you're being a positive force and it's not about what you get in return. You are genuinely being you and that's more than you can say for most people.

You take the time to pick people up instead of dragging them down. Far too many people forget that it's just as easy to be positive as it is to be negative. It's all about perspective.

You have to stay positive. The right people will find you. If they find you and they are an unstoppable positive force, consider yourself quite lucky, because it's rarer than we realize.

Be positive, before you get compliments and after. There's more to our existence than being at odds with one another.

I've probably said this a million times, but we are people. We are people living in the same lifetime, and we're all dealing with the same things.

We'd be doing ourselves a favor if we became a sounding board for one another. We're more alike than we realize. Keep in mind, I mean, equal, not identical. No one is the same. We are all different and that is something we should celebrate more often.

We should be open-minded. You never know who or what can impact you. You don't always have control of this impact, whether it be positive or negative, but there's a lesson that can be learned from everything.

I wonder sometimes. If you know me, you know that I'm very enthusiastic and supportive and I question myself if I go overboard.

I've run it past a few people, but everything seems to be fine. The reason why I question it is because I want to be a source of positivity, but I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

However, if someone who is overwhelmingly positive is the worst thing you have to deal with, it's not so bad. If you're having a bad day, I'll be there, spreading positivity. I guess my over the edge sharing of positivity makes up for all the positivity that isn't being shared around.

There's a possibility that I'm changing the world one person at a time, by being a positive influence. Good influence is always there for whoever needs me. My inbox is always open if anyone wants to chat about basically anything, I'm a sounding board to anyone who needs me.

Don't hesitate because I'll get back to you, always. If you need me, I'll be there because I never make promises I can't keep.

So, be a source of positivity and write to me if you want. I'm very friendly and you'll find out about my endless positivity sooner than later.

I hope whoever is reading this is having a marvelous day today!!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
