Nice vs Kind

I’ve talked about this before but it’s been on my mind a lot recently.  There’s a big difference between being nice and being kind.

Nice is saying something to appease the other person.  It’s almost being manipulative because you “don’t want to make the other person upset.”  So instead, you lie to be “nice.”

How backwards is that?!?!?  

Being kind is telling someone the truth no matter what.  I found in my life I was being nice so much of the time, I didn’t even know what my truth was.  It was second nature to just be nice, which is extremely not nice to myself.

Remember it’s not your responsibility to manage someone else’s feelings.  You manage yourself - your own emotions and feelings and let other people manage theirs.

Find your truth and don’t be afraid to speak it.
