Nice counts. It really bothers me when I hear or see people who just aren't nice.
Each of us possesses the power to be nice. Perhaps that sounds a little Pollyannaish, but it's true. It is within our own power to be nice. It's a personal choice.
We can choose what to engage in and how to engage in it. We can elect to avoid or dismiss ourselves from negative and harmful conversations. We can choose a kinder tone when frustrated. We can look for solutions instead of placing blame.
So, next time we come across an opportunity to make a choice, let's choose not to engage in ways that will bring others or ourselves down. Let's take a deep breath, choose to be nice, and walk away with our heads held high.
Choose nice.
