Holidays and New Year

I usually have mixed feelings around the holidays.  So many people are lonely and as I get older I try to help them more......not just during the holidays, but throughout the year.  A kind smile, a helping hand and listening ear.  Any little gesture helps.

So many people do not have others to spend the holidays with or who they have is just a small number to be with........nothing big and extravagant like what is portrayed.....how society feels we should celebrate....throwing money into gifts.  I think we tend to forget what is important.  Quality not quantity.

We tend to look at the wrong people for role models.  Media does more harm then good at times.
In a world where people are trying to follow latest trends so they look cool, some don't realize they are just being brainwashed by the over saturated nonsense being fed to them.  They forget to let their true self be known.

I see so much name calling, back stabbing, trash talk that it is really to much.  For the new year lets make a goal to try and put our ego and insecurities aside and be real. Don't be afraid to show your pain. and your struggle.  This is what is relateable .....not trends or trying to be the next great thing...

Pursue a goal. delve into a hobby.  Learn something new.   Let your creative side bloom and be shown.  Be honest and kind.

"When you gratefully do what you love 

and love what you do, you experience the feeling of true worth

 and magnetically attract the people, places, things, ideas and events

 to help you fulfill your purpose in life."

Let's jump into 2017 with new adventure, ambitions, innovations.....let's shake it up a bit!!

Don't ever think you can't do something.  Don't be still in life either.  If you are not creating something, learning something, putting one foot in front of the other, your not going to grow.  Find that something that gives you a burn.  Travel.  Go expand your mind.

THOUGHTS

 💭 || Great quotes do not come from great people. They come from ordinary people who think differently. It is nice to be around people who THINK DIFFERENTLY than you. They challenge your ideas and stop you from being complacent. Which is my biggest fear 😳So get out there, meet new people, share your crazy ideas with the world and get inspired to do great

Soul Mates

I've never been one to fully rely on one person.  When I mean rely, I mean emotionally, artistically, educationally etc.  I mean there are so many people who you can click with over different things. There are so many people who can bring different things out of you and push you to greatness.  You do not need your spouse to be all things.

Every time I hear someone say something about their "soul mate" I would think........maybe there is something wrong with me, I don't have that one and only person to do all things with.  My best friend will only do things if her boyfriend is with her.  That is so not me.  Hopefully after the newness wears off she will come back to reality a bit.  I've been married for well over 20 years and  I have friends that I like to do certain things with as well as my spouse.  No one can be all things to a person.   Branch out a little..........grow.  Life would be boring if you didn't.

I came across something on the Internet the other day and it made me so happy to know I am not the only one who things that you need only one person to do all things with:

So, know it is OK to have a variety of soul mates.........your normal!
