4 Things You Should Say To Everyone

Lately, I have seen a lot of posts on Facebook linked to blogs that have titles like "Things You Shouldn't Say To (this type of) Girls" or "Things You Shouldn't Say To (that type of ) Guys."

These posts have been in the back of my mind for a while, & I'd like to make my own post. 

It's called: 4 Things You Should Say To Everyone.

All types of people,

No gender specifics,

They don't even have to be close friends of yours.

Just things you should always say.

1. "I like your (clothing item, smile, book, nail polish, etc.)."

This is a small, simple compliment. You do not need to ask where they got it, how they like it, whatever. Just by this 2 sentence phrase, you will make someone's day. I guarantee it.

*make sure your compliment is genuine. I promise you that there will always be something to compliment someone on. 

2. "Thank you."

I cannot tell you how important not only a "thank you" is, but how good manners in general are. When someone holds a door open,  when a waiter brings your food to your table, when a coworker hits your floor-button for your elevator, etc. There are SO many times in a day where you can be thankful. Saying "thank you" will not only boost your happiness and gratitude, but others will feel your positive vibes and use them in their lives.

3. "You mean a lot to me."

Okay, obviously you wouldn't say this to a stranger because that would be a little odd. But I know from  personal experience that just a random text saying something along these lines is all a person needs to hear. If you're talking to a person you might not know as well, you cold say something simple like "you really do matter." They might not respond in a way you expected, heck they might not respond at all, but know that you can make someones day or even save a life with this phrase. You never know how long it's been since they've heard it, and no one should go a day without being acknowledged.

4.  "Do your thing."

This has been my motto for 2014. I love this phrase. To me, it means "Whatever you are passionate about doing, do it. I'm not here to judge. I may need to step away from what you are doing for personal reasons, or you may need to leave my presence for your sake, but as long as we are positive contributors to society and not hurting anyone, it's OK."

By saying "do your thing" to a friend, you're telling them that you want whats best for them and you support them in being themselves.

By saying "do your thing" to a stranger, you're saying that you aren't here to judge. 

By saying "do your thing" to yourself, you're yourself giving freedom and confidence to be you. 

On that note, I'd like to end this post. I hope we all remember to be happy, caring, kind people. If we all focus on each other's similarities and positive attributes, we will have a much more loving world.
