I love this. I am so sick of people making fun of the way he looks. Instead of talking about his behavior, they talk about his weight or appearance, which insults everyone else who is higher weight, and they don't deserve that. I find it childish and thoughtless. I'm glad this article was written. Some key quotes: "Despite plenty of substantive material (including those convictions) to critique, Trump’s body continues to be a go-to target for comedians, cartoonists and everyday Americans who dislike him for political or ethical reasons. Turning his looks into a punchline may get laughs, but this mockery reinforces biases that contribute to the body image struggles faced by men and boys." I'll add that it insults everyone, not only men and boys, but anyone who is in a larger body. And I appreciate the point the article makes that it's not only women and girls who struggle with body image/standards. "Because Trump himself is known for publicly bullying and body-shaming others, some may feel it’s only fair for him to be on the receiving end of the same kind of ad hominem attacks. Both [Aaron] Flores and [Stephen] Reeder cautioned, however, against “bullying the bully” — especially because it’s the innocent bystanders who are hurt most by these jokes...For opponents of Trump, it’s worth considering the implications of taking a page right out of his playbook: Is it OK to disparage someone’s appearance simply because you don’t like them? What does it say that you’re willing to imitate someone whose character you question?" I agree, the hypocrisy is hard to stomach. #antidiet #bodypositive #disorderedeating #bodyimage

What a smart move. Everyone knows there's plenty of options out there. Welcome to the "dark side". LOL! Isn't that what some companies try to convince you? Everyone also knows the truth. Hey, are you thinking about making the move? 🤔 Maybe you're feeling "stuck" out of fear... 😨 Fear of losing your clients... ✔ Truth is, you made those clients for the company. ✔ The right ones will follow you. There are plenty out there who need you. Fear of losing deferred compensation... 😱 ✔ Truth is, your company is keeping the lion share of all comp. They're holding back some of the comp you earned. They're giving it as quarterly bonuses to the top producers. They're stuffing some in deferred comp. ✔ Truth is, we don't get that kind of bonus here. We don't have deferred comp. Why? Because we get to keep the entire amount we earned right away. Fear of losing your agents... 😨 ✔ Come on man! Don't you know about the leadership skills of our National Recruiting Director? 🤗 Lyn Godfrey Or her drive? Or her heart? There is no quit. ✔ Truth is, your company is keeping the overwrites on their agents on your team when the agent leaves. You're an employee. ⁉ Why try to train 10 agents a month to watch 9 leave only to give the clients and overrides on the 9 agents' clients to the company? Insert whatever fear you're choosing to believe. Fear is a liar. How do you handle a prospect at the kitchen table in this situation? Use that tactic on yourself. Don't let fear manage your career! 😎
