There are days where I can’t help but feel that one kind word could have changed so much of my life. When I’m having a bad day or feeling down, a simple gesture to show me that someone else cares means more than I can put into words. You never know what someone else is going through, or how badly they may need to hear something uplifting. The world would be a better place if we all took some extra time to spread positivity and kindness. Whether it be from a partner, parent, coach, boss, or friend, there are certain things I think we all need to hear a bit more. Here are some positive affirmations along with things I wish were said more often.
