By Being Beautiful and Kind…

“By being beautiful and kind you are doing your part to create a more beautiful world. When you are kind to people in public you become a force for good, and you are teaching everyone who is watching you. People know love when they feel it; your heart speaks to their heart. People don’t care what you say, only how you make them feel, so try to create pleasure for every person you encounter. If you do this, your life will change forever, along with the lives of those you have touched. We are both thinking and feeling creatures. We must, therefore, devote our lives not only to rationality, but also to kindness. There is no greater intelligence than kindness and empathy. Kindness is the supreme intelligence. Let your brilliance be expressed through kindness. If you can be kind to people, you will be a genius in this world.”

The Archer

Thus far, I’ve loved all three songs released from, “Lover”. I’m pre-ordering her Target exclusive, which is something I haven’t done in years (Reputation was a gift from my cousin, and she made sure I got both Target exclusives on release day!). I’ll have all eighteen songs memorized in a few days. My brain is probably 40% song lyrics.

Lyrics are the first thing I read whenever an artist I love releases new material. It’s the easiest way to know if a song speaks to you, or not. Very few artists/bands seem to write about my life, my pain, my heart, and/or my experiences. But when someone does, it’s utterly magical in a way I can’t fully describe without sounding like I work for Hallmark. 

By Being Beautiful…

“By being beautiful and kind you are given favored status and opportunity in life. Love can take you from any depth, and place you on the highest mountain. Choosing beauty and love does not mean being uninformed or weak; it means you clearly see the ugliness, but choose love anyway. Beauty is so simple, and it is all around you if you look. Beauty is reaching for you if you will hold out your hand in good faith. A blessed life will not come and force you to receive its blessings; receivership is a handshake requiring your earnest reach. Spirituality is very much about putting yourself in proper order. Strive to become a beautiful person. Live with kindness, integrity, and care. Comport yourself with grace under pressure. Don’t hurt people. Be an asset in the lives of others. Put people before things and live from your heart. Be intelligent but know it is better to be kind than smart. Be a peacemaker who values peace and takes peace everywhere you go. Learn to understand your energy and how you create with your energy. Have among your priorities the characteristics of politeness, compassion, and patience. Avoid making rash assumptions. Be a believer in true love. Have faith in people. Seek deep communication with others and with yourself. Laugh and make the best of every situation and understand that life is not perfect.” Bryant McGill
