I've recently had a LOT of negativity in my workplace recently and it's great to be reminded to ignore it! Thanks for this!

It's best to just ignore and delete those comments and move on. Don't give them your time.<br /><br />You are doing an AMAZING thing and don't let anyone try to tell you differently. There are just some unhappy people in the world and nothing will ever make them happy.<br /><br />As for me encountering negativity, yes I do and it's just so sad that these people nit pick at some things. I just don't get it so I ignore it. Life is too short! Caitlin,

You are doing an AMAZING thing and don't let anyone try to tell you differently. There are just some unhappy people in the world and nothing will ever make them happy.

As for me encountering negativity, yes I do and it's just so sad that these people nit pick at some things. I just don't get it so I ignore it. Life is too short!

What other opinion is there? Why would anybody possibly be against this movement? What is there to argue about? The anonymous comments are stupid and if they don't like Operation Beautiful, they should keep their mouths shut.

I've dealt with my share of negative noise on my blog and it has sucked more energy from me than I care to admit.<br /><br />Thankfully, I was able to employ what we call a Bozo Filter -- where any time the offenders comment THEY are the only ones who can see their comments. They feel like they're getting their kicks by bringing me down, but no one else can read their noise. It's awesome! Caitlin, thanks for this post.

Anyone who says otherwise is a hater, and is probably sad they didn't think of it first. I encounter many miserable people daily in my job (nurse) who are not appreciative of anything or anyone, and they don't see anything positive ever. It's draining after a while. But all you can do is hold your head up high and know that you are not going to stoop to their level. I posted a note in our work bathroom yesterday, I'm curious to see if it is still there! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! What you created with Operation Beautiful and what everyone around the world is doing to support the mission is wonderful.

It helps me to visualize myself standing on a platform and watching the coaster take off while I'm waving them goodbye.
