Humble & Kind

I live my life through a non-judgmental lens. I strive to build my relationships with ease and establish a judgment free zone – just like Planet Fitness.

I’ve been burnt and taken advantage of for simply being kind and having an ever-growing tribe of loyal friends and family. I wouldn’t have it any other way though because one thing is for sure: My grounded roots of staying humble and kind to each person I meet, will never waiver. Love conquers all.

Have I been bullied? Absolutely. To be frank, I’ve been bullied in each phase of life thus far (even from those I least expected). Through each experience, I’ve learned that words can deeply hurt. For the longest time, I mentally tore myself apart and questioned if I should flip my character around because clearly being amiable was resulting in a lot of flak. It took an immense amount of strength to never let the bully feel satisfied in hurting me. Why sulk around when you can turn your perspective into one that aims to leave a lasting and positive impact on everyone you meet, despite if they crushed you? Stand up for those who you notice being mistreated and who may not have found their voice or courage yet because support creates strength. Insecurities will drive bad behavior, but exuding kindness will never lead you astray.

What I admire about myself is the ability to truly stay humble and kind, always. It’s not a façade, but merely an authentic representation of the character I embody. Time is precious and rapidly slips by. There comes a point where opinions from others are not a priority, and instead you start living your life for you. Take some time to reflect and ask yourself if how you treat others is how you wish to be treated. You’ll attract genuine people into your life once you learn to weed out those who don’t have your best intentions at heart. Being mistreated has stung profusely, but I’ve unapologetically chosen to hold myself to a higher standard and live each day staying humble and kind. Rise above and the best will follow.

I encourage you to take a moment and listen to the song, “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw. Those lyrics are a perfect representation of how an act of kindness, no matter how small, does not go unnoticed. Make a conscious effort to love yourself, love the life you live, and spread love to those around you.

Remember to stay humble and kind, always – a motto I continuously live by!
