Lisa Rinna: What People Think Of You Is None Of Your Business

Today's Kick Butt Tip of the Day comes from TV host and actress Lisa Rinna. "What people think of you is none of your business."

Lisa credits that great advice from her TV star husband Harry Hamlin.

Lisa says "it's very difficult. Let's just face it. Social media is a double edge sword and Harry, who is not on social media and has no connection to any of that world, always says to us, because he can see where we've seen something that is very unsavory and mean, he says what other people think of you is none of your business."

Lisa also says "that she and Harry have tried to teach that advice to their girls. But quite honestly sometimes taking Harry's advice is a lot easier said than done." Lisa said "we see stuff like this on a daily basis. There's mean stuff out there constantly. And so I think that it's really tough for the girls and the kids and the teenagers are growing up during this time. It's horrifying."

I don't have any concrete proof but I am betting one of the most effective ways to handle bullies on social media is just to ignore them. There's also ways to unfollow. troublemakers and agitators on social media platforms. Sometimes you just have to cut people out of your life in real life or online. That's not easy to do of course, but sometimes it's necessary. We have to do things for ourselves sometimes, right?

I think it is beyond sad that there are people out there that get their jollies off by saying hurtful things to people. The next that happens, just pull out your imaginary scissors and clip clip clip those people out of your life.

Also remember this. Just because someone makes a statement, doesn't make it true or right. Some never miss a chance to share their opinion no matter how hurtful it is.

Please do not ever be this type of person. Be someone who builds others up. Be the person who encourages others. After all, you get back in return what you sow. What people think of you is none of your business. It is just their opinion.

Go get 'em tiger! God don't make no junk. You, yes you are awesome! Now go be awesome!

U.S. News & World Report has released their new Best Places to Live rankings for 2024-2025, and the Tar Heel state got some major love! In a list of 150 major cities, two North Carolina cities were ranked among the top 10 best places to live in the US.

According to U.S. News & World Report, the ranking was compiled using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Labor, and some of the publication's own internal resources. The data was then sorted into four different categories by which each major city would be scored.

The categories were assigned different weights depending on how strongly Americans felt each factor mattered when choosing a place to live. The four categories in order of weight are as follows:

According to the official rankings, Charlotte and Raleigh are the two best places to live in North Carolina. The two cities made it to #5 and #6 respectively.

Charlotte scored extremely well overall, with the Queen City's quality of life and economic value placing it among the top places in the country to live. Charlotte was also commended for its sprawling metro area and bustling downtown scene, while still maintaining its southern charm.

Raleigh ranked almost neck-and-neck with Charlotte, with North Carolina's capital scoring highly in the Quality of Life category. The publication highlights Raleigh's bustling art and music scenes, as well as its beautiful green spaces and activity space. The city of Raleigh also received high marks for its strong sense of community among the residents.

Ranked #1 overall, Naples, Florida was determined to be the best city to live in the US. The city scored highly for its overall quality of life, especially among retirees who desire a pristine beachfront view in their twilight years.
