Worthy "Operations"


While browsing I discovered these amazing “Operations” and I had to share:

  • Operation Nice: It’s blog dedicated to be nicer and celebration of the every day random acts of niceness. Don't you love it when people go out of their way to be nice? Like when someone waits to hold the door for you. Or when a stranger waves you into a line in traffic. Or even when a coworker shoots you a friendly smile along with a "have a nice day." If everyone was a little bit nicer to the folks they encountered each day, perhaps the world would be a more pleasant place. Operation NICE was initiated to remind you that a little NICE goes a long way. She even auditioned for Oprah (see her video and vote for her here)!

  • Operation Beautiful: The goal of the Operation Beautiful website is to end negative self-talk or “Fat Talk” and to helps readers realize how truly toxic negative self-talk is — it hurts you emotionally, spiritually, and physically. The mission of Operation Beautiful is to post anonymous notes in public places for other women to find. The point is that WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL. You are enough... just the way you are! On the website they have tons of people how participated and left a note of encouragement in a random place like a public bathroom mirror, on the front of a magazine on a store, on a car in the parking lot or even diet products on the grocery store. The creator of this operation has even been on Fox News (click here to see the video), the New York Daily News and various fashion magazines. When you post a note, you’re saying, “I CHOOSE to be positive!”


I think both these causes are so amazingly powerful! Not only I love the purpose of the causes but I also love the positive message they’re sending on how one person can make a huge difference. We can all make that difference too, if we commit to it. Visit them and become active on the one you like the most or in both of them. Simple acts of random kindness are the perfect recipe for a daily smile.

If these both are everybody's priorities, world will such a nice place to live in. This reminds of the book 'Everyday greatness' by Stephen R Covey.

Amen! Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you :)

Those are really worthy operations! We should all do what these women started so that the hyped that commercialism feed into our minds will be altered with positivity of being beautiful just the way we are.
