Why do we need other people?

We’re not meant to walk this journey alone, to be separate, to be always with ourselves and never be with others.

As humans we need the energy of other human souls, we need to be connected with their energy.

It does not mean that we have to be constantly surrounded by people, however, long periods of time without interaction is as bad as being always with people.

Like everything in life, it is a balance and there is the Yin and Yang to all things.

When we simply be with others, without any agenda, without seeking something, simply being in their presence and listening to them and learning from them, sharing stories, making each other laugh, bringing joy to one another, then we not only enrich ourselves but others too. We create something even better.

The more we find what brings us together and what we have in common, rather than what we believe in our minds will separate us, the more we create a stronger connection among us all and the more we grow in a positive way as humans.

Find other souls and enrich them and ourselves…don’t be always alone.

Quitting isn’t the answer

If we are sitting here on a Sunday afternoon dreading tomorrow and a return to our work, instead of enjoying the moment, the view, the chilling and time to contemplate, then maybe it is time to make a change.

Change does not have to be quitting your job, it might be seeing our jobs and life through a new lens, one that sees what is rather than looking for what our minds want to see and believe about them.

Our reality is uniquely ours as we create it in our thought and beliefs, so how I see the world will be completely different to every single one of the other 8 billion humans.

If I dread Monday, not only do I numb myself to now, my real life, I create anxiety within me and when Monday does come, I do not enjoy it and wish I was elsewhere.

Quitting something however does not solve the problem as whatever is or was troubling us is our internal state which then manifests the external world, so unless we change the internal state, nothing will change from changing jobs, cars, houses, partners, clothes whatever else.

When we accept what is, when we become present in this moment, we can then react from a place of calm and peace, we can change how we choose to see the world and if we believe that the world is what we want to be then we can change how we see all things. That means that we can still quit our jobs if they are not nourishing our souls and if they are not what we truly want to be doing from our heart and soul.

Quitting isn’t the answer…learning our why and doing things from our heart is.
