Motivational Monday: Don’t Be Afraid of Anyone

When I was young I had the privilege of growing up around people who were older than me. I got to know these people on a personal level and because of this, I saw them for who they really are. However, once I hit adulthood and began working I saw so many people in my life be afraid of their bosses, co-workers, instructors, Corporate bosses and even friends. I saw people break down in front of these people because of their high demands and I also saw people get extremely angry behind their back, claiming they “weren’t afraid of them.”

If you’re afraid of people you won’t be able to ask them for help when you really need it.

Seeing all of this made me realize, whatever happened to just talking to people? You know, being nice to people, having a good conversation about life. Everyone in this life is truly the same. We are all people, we all eat, sleep, get dressed, work and have lives. It made me realize that everyone is just a person, and no one scares me. It doesn’t matter what position they hold at their job because the people you work with are there to collaborate with and learn from. If you’re hanging out with a friend who you’re afraid to give your opinion to or speak up against when you don’t want to do something, then try giving your opinion anyway and see what they say or if that person is toxic to your relationship, it may be best to part ways. Or, if you see someone you admire but are too afraid to say hello. Go up and say hello anyway. Yes, it might be awkward to meet someone new, but I bet they’ll appreciate you for saying hi and you’ll feel good once you talk to them.

The point is, don’t allow yourself to be afraid of people. You don’t have to go off on them by yelling to get your point across, you don’t have to tell everyone to be afraid because of the job title they hold, and you definitely don’t have to hide from them. Learning from others is the best thing in the world. It can make you smarter, open new doors for you and open you up to seeing things in a new light.

Happy Monday! ❤

My mission is to provide realistic lifestyle tips to everyone. Everything from tips on blogging advice, meal prepping, but most importantly, motivation. Each Monday I share a Motivational Monday post that is a lesson I’ve learned throughout the week, that I believe should be shared with you all, my community. My hope is that these lessons will manifest into a positive mindset. I want people to recognize that you can have a happy, healthy and positive mindset and lifestyle. If you’re wondering where this motivational mindset came from, it has grown out of years of negative mindset. I was believing lies people told me about myself (one of them being I have no confidence). Until one day when I decided I needed to change myself and be a better version of me. I then began working out regularly, managing my money, eating foods my body craves, listening to what my body needed every single day-rest, work or a dance party while getting ready for the day, writing daily and surrounding my life with people who motivate me (especially through online communities!). I hope you find this community I’ve curated a place for you to learn more about yourselves. It will be motivational and supportive as we all walk our own journey of life together by providing a realistic lifestyle. Remember: You are NOT the lies people tell you. YOU are the person you BECOME. Follow all my realistic lifestyle tips on social media-Facebook and Instagram: @stylestomakeyousmile <3 Always, Amy Beth View all posts by stylestomakeyousmile
