Do You Feel Stupid for Being Nice

Being nice is something that not all people have the privilege of knowing or understanding. Those persons who are not "built" the same as you probably do not understand the concept of being nice and what it takes to be kind. Being a nice person requires things that others do not possess, one of those things is patience. Angry people do not have a single ounce of patience in them, if they did they probably wouldn't be so damn angry. When it comes to being nice, it definitely requires a great deal of self love and understanding for others around you. Niceness can also require much more than just that. People tend to think that being a kind, loving, genuinely nice individual is either a joke or something that should not exist. Some people tend to think that the "nice" people are so stupid and naïve that they can get them to do just about anything that they wish but you know that's not true...right?

You are probably a very nice person, hence the reason you are here reading this. You probably go back and forth with yourself often trying to "change" who you are and the things that you do. You attempt to do these things because you feel stupid and like you allow others to get over on you. You feel as though you are not strong or assertive enough and that the word "No" should be used more regularly in your vocabulary. You feel depleted and less than. You feel as though the world uses you as a stepping stone or maybe a doormat just to wipe their feet on. You think you have no backbone or that you can not speak up for yourself. You kind of feel like a fucking loser!

You do not have to feel stupid because you are nice!! Wanna know why? Because being nice is something that resonates positive vibes and energy. Being upset, mad, disappointed or frustrated are feelings that bring bad energy to you and those around you, which is not good. Positive energy; joy, kindness and love, provide you with an energy that pulsates every where you step foot in. It is seen though it is not seen, and others feel this in your presence. Some do NOT like it! In fact, they can NOT stand it. They dislike any and every thing about your presence and the energy you bring. Then there are others who really just want to take advantage of the energy you bring for their own personal gain. Whether for entertainment, gossip or for personal reasons of their own.

Have you ever asked yourself why someone treated you so badly in spite of all the good you did for them? Have you ever found yourself questioning who you are as a person after a really bad breakup or family dispute? Have you ever found yourself in tears because someone ripped your heart out of your chest after the sacrifices that you made for them? Notice anything in common with those questions? Well the answer is you are not putting yourself before others. You tend to focus so much on others and not as much on you. You allow others to validate who you are and what you mean to them as well as yourself. The same way you care so deeply about them is the same way you should care about you. You are precious and you have the ability to do great things in this even though others try to use you, but first you must pay close attention to YOUR self so that YOUR light can shine even brighter than it ever has.

Being nice is like having a giant flashlight 24 hours a day, 7 seven days a week. You shine during the day yet no one truly sees but in times of darkness you provide nothing but light. You can not allow the world to dim the light that resides within you. And NO you are not stupid for being nice! You are amazing and a rare breed. You just have to seek guidance from "Your" Higher Power and ask for discernment when it comes to certain areas of your life.

You also have to learn to love YOU MORE than you love anyone else. Loving you is a process and though you may think others around you have that self love thing figured out, in actuality most people really don't. You were probably told to "fake it till you make it", and 9 times out of 10 those around you are doing just that. But this isn't one of those areas where that applies. You must love you for you and if you do not love who stands before you in the mirror then you must begin to change. The saying is "Nice guys finish last", and its pretty much true because nice "guys" put others before themselves. Nice "guys" would rather others be happy and content rather than focusing on what they desire.

Start putting you first! Learn to love yourself and distribute your love and light around the world to others. Never allow the world to dim your light! Your love, kindness and amazing spirit is what can change the lives of others. When you dig a bit deeper into your true self, you will start to understand your purpose and exactly what you were created to be. Stupid is not one of them, dumb is not one of them and neither is naïve. You are a diamond. Like a diamond you have to be discovered and then once you are discovered you are dusted off and transformed into a work of art. All diamonds have value, the value of stupid is not one of them. So transform into what you were created to be and let people continue to think that you are stupid, dumb and whatever else. Because nice people do what they do from the bottom of their hearts and karma will come for those who thought those nice people were so stupid! Keep letting your light shine, keep being great and keep finding YOU!

Discouragement

In the Beginning

Have you ever felt so strongly and so passionate about something that you could feel it resonate in your bones? Have you ever had visions of yourself accomplishing something so great or so powerful? Have you ever had thoughts of things that that seemed to mesh so well with who you are both inside and out? Those thoughts, those visions, those feelings seemed real, right? At that moment you felt as if you could accomplish those things along with much more right? In those moments no pause, or filter or doubt occurred, right? Those things were very real, very vivid and very personal. More personal than most things that you have encountered in regards to thoughts or feelings or visions, right? So why is it that those things seem to fade away so very easily, that once they begin to "feel" real something within comes along and snatches their very essence away?

Deep Seeded

It is called "discouragement." Discouragement is that feeling of creativity suddenly turning into thoughts or feelings of doubt. Discouragement is that thought that lingers in the back of your mind while you're trying to write that amazing business plan. Discouragement is that voice within that turns from "you can do this" to "who are you fooling". Discouragement is the reason why you never finish the things you start because you suddenly feel as if you can't or starting a new year's resolution in January only to stop before February because you feel it is a waste of time. Discouragement takes that very thing that had you feeling so amazing and so optimistic and producing fear, anxiety and deep seeded sadness. Discouragement is not created it is embedded within the mind and it peaks it's ugly head up as soon as you begin to create something beautiful for yourself.

Fight the Good Fight

Just because discouragement appears, does not mean that you have to bow down and give up. Discouragement in my opinion is a bunch of negative thoughts all wrapped in a package. Presented to you for the purpose of causing you to discontinue with the things that can be manifested through you. It takes away your desires, it weakens your mind and that further weakens your abilities. Without believing that you can attain something that something can not exist. You can not build a house if you never purchase supplies for it. You can not paint a picture without a canvas or paint. Discouragement takes away your belief, it strips you of the supplies that you need to build that house or paint that picture. Granted, it does not stop you from accomplishing anything, but it does weaken your thoughts which are the very beginning of anything that you wish to achieve. You have to fight! You have to learn to acknowledge when discouragement attempts to influence your thoughts so that you can build the necessary skills needed when that time comes.

The Power Lies Within You

In order to fight those thoughts of discouragement you must be equipped with the necessary equipment needed to do so. Every person is different, so what tool works for others may not be the right tool for you. A right handed person can not use left handed scissors, right? The same thing goes when it comes to finding the right tools to help you with the fight occurring within your thoughts. Some people wear a size 9 shoe, others wear a 7. Both people wear shoes but they just wear them in different sizes. It can be the exact same shoe in every way except for the size and ultimately the shoe serves the same purpose. You must find what works best for you. The mind is powerful and there are so many different ways to strengthen your thoughts and to fight back those thoughts that are not meant for your growth and happiness. Some people choose prayer and religion, others go with meditation and spirituality. Some people have a combination of both and some use neither. You must figure out what fits well with you, not anyone else. Take the initiative to really search for what it is that completes you and what honestly allows you to flourish and fight those negative thoughts.

Real Personal Covid Vaccine Story

Updated: Jan 10, 2021

#Covid19 has impacted the world in so many different ways. The things that once brought one comfort is now of the past and the future is unknown. What started out as a virus quickly developed into a #pandemic. A pandemic that changed the lives of nearly everyone on the planet and some changed forever. In the beginning it didn't seem real, everything seemed to happen so fast. False information was given and people had no idea what was really happening. A dream is what it felt like, no more like a nightmare. Not being able to touch the ones held near and dear to the heart or able to sit and dine at a favorite restaurant. Then something changed, something that a lot of people were not ready for, just like no one was ready for the pandemic itself. A #vaccine was created, a vaccine that could possibly help everyone. Finally something that could change the direction of things and possibly allow everyone to begin to live a normal life again. People were once again afraid of the unknown but I chose to step out on a leap of #faith, not just for me but for my family, my community and everyone around me. This is my real personal #covid vaccine story.

The Process

The department I work in was told that the vaccine was available for us all. It was up to each individual to decide whether or not this was something they wanted. Upon learning that it was now available I decided that I would go and get it, along with other employees as well. We were told that we would be given an appointed time to be at the vaccine location and that we would be required to sit for 15 minutes following the vaccine. On the day of the vaccine I walked to the designated area where I was given information regarding the vaccine and the possible side effects. I was also asked whether or not I was feeling "ok" that day.

After checking in and providing all the required information I was advised to have a seat and wait to be called to the next available area. I was called and sat with a wonderful young lady who informed me that I would receive my first shot that day and needed to return 21 days later for the second and final shot. She asked me which arm I preferred for the injection and I chose my left arm because I am right handed. I get an annual flu shot and it tends to make my arm a tad bit sore. She then provided with a small white card with my name and the date of my next scheduled shot. Moments later I was hit with a needle that stung quite a bit. She placed a bandage on it and reminded me that there was a six day window for my second shot. I had the option of returning five days before the actual 21st day but was advised that I had to be back no later than that actual day.

I got up and was escorted to a seating area where those who had already received their shots were sitting. Another young woman comes up to me and points me to a seat. She asked me to set my clock for 15 mins and told me that I was required to wait there until that time was up. It was for observation, to see if there were any problems after the vaccine was given. Then she notified me of a code that I needed to scan with my phone. That code would then take me to a site that would be used to check on my health and symptoms over the next couple of days. So I did as requested and I sat and waited until my 15 minutes were up like everyone else.

My alarm went off and I raised my hand and informed the young woman that my time was now up. She asked me how I felt and if I felt any different? I told her that I felt the same as when I arrived and she said her goodbyes, as did I and I was on my merry way.

What Happened After The Vaccine

I was informed before hand that I would need to take the vaccine on the day before my day off. This was just a precaution in place in case of any major symptoms that could come afterwards. The next day I still felt normal but my arm was quite sore. My body had a slight ache to it but nothing that was unbearable. I continued to do my daily routines as if I had never gotten a vaccine. Later that day I received a notification that stated I needed to "check in". The notification sent me to a page that asked me various questions regarding how I was feeling at that time and what where my symptoms if any. I responded honestly and was thanked for my response. I continued on with my day and the rest is now the past.

In Summary

I wrote this #blog because I know that these are scary times. I know that there is so much uncertainty and unanswered questions. I wanted to share my experience so that it could give some answers to some questions. I was scared and very anxious even after I got my vaccine and that is the honest #truth, but if I can help put someone else at ease then my job is done.

With any and everything in life we must take chances but if there is a way to get the truth then the chance would be more a leap of faith, believe or desire. My #experience may not be the same as others but it is my truth and I want to share my truth with anyone who is willing to listen. I hope this touches the hearts of those that were intended to be touched and I pray that your experience goes just as smooth as mine.

With #Love,
