Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday! As I go about my day, you know, doing what I do, I wanted to take a moment to share some special insights that will help make you stand out in life. Because after all, while I'm all about sharing the bad, I'm also all about sharing the good, and it is my heart's desire to see you happy and living your best life - something I try to do every single day!

Want to know one way to stand out? Manners, being polite and having a mindset, that no matter your circumstance, while things could always be better, they could easily be a LOT worse! So it is really trying to have a mindset of being, thankful, grateful, and blessed, in life - no matter your situation!

And look, I'm not perfect, and I do realize, that by writing these messages, sharing these thoughts, I can easily come across as a "know it all", but please know that is not my point, as I truly do not know it all. In fact, I often struggle with the lessons that I try to share. But the problem with knowing what to do, is you can't make the excuse that you didn't know. In some ways, that's why people will say that ignorance is bliss, but once you have the knowledge, it is on you to do something with it!

But going to manners, it doesn't cost you a dollar, and it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, simply saying, "please", "thank you", or "you're welcome" goes a long with with many people! How do I know this? Well, while I do share messages with you from time to time, I can tell you, from all the people I thank each day, the kind of responses I get. As I've said before, most people who buy aren't even expecting a message of thanks - how sad is that? I mean is that what this world has come to? At the end of the day, whether you send a tip, buy a video or buy 100 videos, at the end of the day you picked me and you didn't have to do so, so again - thanks!

The flipside to all of this, is if you are not thankful, grateful, blessed, then there's a good chance you are either indifferent to it all, or you have an entitlement issue! Now again, if you are taking it personally, do know I'm not pointing the finger at you, I'm simply sharing this to the 5.5K people following me who might read these words. But either way, if you go through your day thinking someone has done you wrong, or that someone owes you something, or you are waiting to get what you deserve, I would totally, totally revamp your thinking. While the sentiment may be true, and may be totally justified, that mindset is not going to help you get ahead in life - in fact, there's a high chance it is going to keep you where you're at. One should learn to let go, and look to themselves, as well as those closets and most trusted to get ahead in life!

Now again, I realize, as I write this to you, I may be writing one of my less "organized" posts, but yeah. The key is, at least to me, is so many people have forgotten how to be kind, to be nice to one another. And that's really what this is all about, when you go about your day, wish someone a great day, tell a person you hope they are doing well, if someone does something, say thank you, even if the person at the cash register has a whatever spirit, simply look the person in the eye, give a slight smile (not a creepy smile) and say, "Thank you, I hope you have a great day", and then walk away. The person will probably wonder what has you so cheery, but maybe that positivity will cause them to treat the next person in line a little differently - I don't know? Maybe?

So yes, sorry for this running on, but again, it doesn't take much to stand out from the crowd, and oftentimes, a little, goes a very long way...

Anyway, here's to you, smiling, and being the kind of person others want to be around, today, and the rest of your tomorrow's. We're not perfect, but the moment we're in right now, is the best moment to try once again to get it right...

I hope this makes sense and my words bring value to your world, wherever that may be - thank you for reading!

XoXo,

KS
