Every one of us is human therefore we have both good and bad within us, no one is either all good or all bad no matter what some might say.

Yes, some people have more good and others more bad but this could be due to a number of different circumstances such as environment, parenting, childhood traumas, malnutrition, lack of education etc.

There are so many different reasons for why a person is the way they are so the best thing we can do for each other is come from a place of love and understanding and try to look for the best in people

This sure as hell won't be easy, especially with some people that just rub us the wrong way, but coming from a place of love and compassion is best for all parties involved.

When we come from a place of anger and hate and just try to find the worst in people, we become angry and bitter ourselves, releasing a number of different stress hormones within our body.

This is damaging to our physical and mental health, not to mention when we look for the worst in someone they tend to show us what we're looking for.

In psychology, this is known as "Behavioral Confirmation Effect" which is defined as, "a type of self-fulfilling prophecy whereby people's social expectations lead them to behave in ways that cause others to confirm their expectations."

As humans, we tend to try to fit into boxes based on other people's expectations of us.

While this is an extremely flawed way of thinking that I could not be more against, it doesn't make it any less true.

So yes, people should not be living their life to fulfill other's expectations, but we also shouldn't be casting our expectations upon others either, especially if they're negative and limiting expectations.

If we're ever going to cast any kind of expectation on someone it needs to come from a place of love and understanding, where we genuinely see and want the best for that person, and for them to shine their beauty out into the world.

But with that, we must also understand that what we might think is best for someone may not be best and that it's every individual's job to find and determine their own path, and our job to love them no matter what they choose.

When we come from a place of love and compassion, where we're always looking for the best in people, we make ourselves happier and have a positive impact on the people around us, thus creating a ripple effect of love and positivity.

The best advice I've ever heard for trying to understand others and find the best in everyone is to simply view everyone as yourself living a different life.

This causes us to take others' cultures, upbringing, personal struggles, and traumas into account before judging them because it makes us think, "Maybe if I were in their shoes and had their past I'd be making the same decision".

As humans, we naturally like to think we're morally superior to others when in fact we're often just seeing things from our unique perspectives based on our unique journey.

So instead of discounting others and thinking they're wrong or evil, we should seek to understand why they believe what they do and find that person's beauty because when we do that we can often find common ground.

SO TODAY I CHALLENGE YOU TO LOOK FOR THE BEAUTY IN EVERYONE YOU COME ACROSS!!!
