This is not an article to comment on the reactions, actions, or words exchanged by either side pertaining to the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Elections.
This is an article to remind everyone to continue putting love into the world when it seems like the only emotion engulfing us is hate.
I encourage each and every one of you to perform any of these simple acts of kindness below & see what a difference it makes. To a Clinton supporter, it could mean a glimmer of comfort. To a Trump supporter, it could mean a thankfulness for seeing them beyond their political stance.
1. Send A Friendly Snapchat.
It could be something as simple as "Happy Thursday!"
2. Spread Gratitude.
A simple tweet about the gorgeous fall weather, a Facebook status congratulating another on a new job, or an Instagram Post to remind someone how much they truly mean to you - can go a long way and set the example to appreciate the little, beautiful things in life.
3. Hold The Door For A Crowd Of People.
Sure, some may walk on by but it will make one or two people's days. That is what matters most.
4. Send Appreciative Texts.
A two sentenced message to someone you love and care about can spread the love and positivity the nation so desperately needs right now. Your random act may inspire others to pass it on and a chain reaction could begin.
5. Embody What You Want To See In The World.
If you wish to see love and positivity triumph hate in this nation, then never stop fighting to achieve it. Now more than ever, the worst action we could perform is stagnation. In the words of my wise Psychology professor,
I am not telling you what to do or believe. What I am telling you to do is go out there and pick your hill, and die on it.
- Professor W.
Thank you for inspiring me. Putting love back into the world. This is my hill.
