Be the Best Version of Yourself That You Can Be

All any of us can do in this life is be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Not all of us will be famous stars influencing fans or scientists curing diseases; in fact, most of us will not be.

But whom each of us has the power to be is a good person to others by spreading kindness and helping everyone we can in whatever way we can. Just be sure your gifts of kindness and actions of help are genuine, without ever expecting reciprocation, without ever becoming bitter that you gave too much

Leave others feeling better about themselves after being in your presence, not feeling worse. Never intend to leave anyone feeling hurt, upset, or insecure

It is important to always strive to be the bigger person in all your affairs. Don't treat haters how they have treated you; do not seek revenge or retaliate to those you feel wronged by, but respond in the way you would like someone to treat you.

Should you ever find yourself in a position of power, use it to do more good, never to promote personal propaganda or in an attempt to destroy another's character. Lead by example.

If we intentionally hurt just one other, it does not matter how much good we do, or think that we do, it does not cancel out the harm we knowingly caused to that one. Think about that.

We will all make mistakes in time, many insignificant and a few bigger ones we'd rather forget, but all we can do is learn from these mistakes, strive not to repeat them, and grow into a better person because of them

If you like the version of yourself this year better than last, congratulations, you must be doing something right!

One of the good things I feel I can do for others — or I would like to believe that I can — is inspire them through my words. So, I choose to write posts like this flowing from one thought to another. Will it actually be helpful for anyone? I may never know, honestly, but still, I try to spread some goodness in a simple way that I uniquely can right now this evening.

What good can you do for someone today?

Derailing Vs. Getting on Board with Theories of Tiffany Valiante's Death

This post is about "Mystery at Mile Marker 45," the first episode in season 3 of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries, which tells the story of Tiffany Valiante, a recent high school graduate with a promising future, who was suspiciously struck by a train after disappearing from outside her New Jersey home in July 2015. It is assumed one has already viewed the episode before reading my thoughts and opinions on this case. SPOILERS will be given! Fact or Fiction? I have seen several people discussing supposed facts that were left out of the episode, alleging Tiffany had stolen from her parent's bank account in the past, that CPS visited regarding abuse by her mother in the months prior to her death, and supposedly an axe recovered as evidence near the scene was lost by investigators before testing. Although I did find her autopsy report with the little bit of searching I did, I only saw this rumored information on gossip websites or other people talking on threads how they ...

Whoever is trying to bring you down is below you; you are above whomever is trying to bring you down

Not sure which version of this quote I like better, but I do believe it's a valid statement. If someone is trying to bring you down; whether it's by spreading false rumors about you behind your back, publicly attacking something of yours, or even just giving you constant criticism to your face; I think most people would agree then they are clearly below you in their moral standards and personal ethics, not to mention their levels of integrity and kindness! And, if someone is more focused on bringing you down instead of on their own work or personal goals, it probably does indicate you are above them — or at least, that they believe you are somehow ahead of them and thus, view you as competition to eliminate. Whichever way you look at it, it's unfortunate there are people like that. Too many people turn things that shouldn't be into a competition when it would serve us all better to help and support one another instead — or at least to just conc...

"It's Good to Know Who Hates You, and It's Good to be Hated by the Right people"

I had to think about the second part of this one a bit, but I do concur. \ Haters tend to hate people they feel intimated or threatened by, in competition with, or envious of. Usually, there is no real reason for their hatred, other than those people are different than them; whether in looks, personality, interests, or any other qualities. In acknowledging that, if people are hating on someone who tries to be kind and respectful to all, somebody truly altruistic in their helping of others, it is fairly safe to conclude the haters lack some — or all — of those genuine qualities in themselves. Therefore, the good person is being hated by the "right" people in that they are hated simply because they are not hateful like the haters, nor would they ever want to be filled with hatred like them in exchange for their not being hated! This not only reveals the haters for whom they really are, but also confirms the good person the "hatee" is. Thus, in this case, it is ac...
