I hope you choose to surround yourself with people who want what’s best for you. These people will challenge your perspective in a healthy, loving way, intentionally expanding emotional limitations to elevate your thinking, stimulating inner motivation.
DREAM CAPSULE
What criteria do you use in the selection of the people with whom you are spending your time?
People come into our lives under a host of circumstances, some for a day, a season or a lifetime.
In the course of making this decision, what methodology are you using to support the choices you’re making?
Are you surrounded by people who celebrate your dreams, who comfort your fears, who stand shoulder to shoulder with with you and adversity?
Do you look through this process with a selective filter in which you are cognizant of the variables that these individuals provide you in your life?
Conversely, as you are inserting yourself into the lives of others, are you behaving in accord with this thought process, so that you facilitate similar expectations in the minds of those whom you have chosen?
We have more influence on one another that we might first imagine. This influence comes with a perspective of working to be appropriate in our output of energy and experience with those with whom we are sharing our existence.
If you find people who are willing to support your dreams and elevate your consciousness, you are already one step ahead of a majority of people who have less of that kind of support in their world.
Given that you might be readily enjoying such an advantage in life, wouldn’t it be especially appropriate and opportune for you to expend a percentage of that energy in favor of those who have far less of that in their lives?
In our choice to be more benevolent, caring, compassionate, and considerate, we are elevating ourselves to a higher level of consciousness, which ultimately gives further room for our own particular growth.
The balance of energy between people is so critical and so fluid in its effects, it ultimately occupies a highly strategic position of importance in one’s overall arsenal of resources.
And, as Ian Anderson once said, “it’s only the giving that makes you what you are.“
Happy Thursday!
