Broken

We are not here to fix.

People aren’t broken including ourselves.

They are different, they might be having a difficult period, a rough day, had some bad news, who knows?

They have something that they want to share.

Resist the temptation to fix.

Instead, listen, support, empathise and show love. Apply the same to ourselves, resist the beat up and fix approach, just be compassionate, we are not broken.

That does not mean you can not offer advice or give help. But listen first, as the person may not need help, they just want someone to listen, to share something with, to say something kind.

We are all worthy, we do not need fixing, we are just right in our imperfect condition.

Keep away from the energy vampires

Surround yourself with people who are kind, empathetic, compassionate, loving, interesting and who laugh a lot.

Most importantly, surround yourself with people who want to improve themselves.

You will be amazed what an impact that has on your life. You’ll be amazed too at how few you need of them. We don’t need 500 friends or 1,200 connections or 5,000 followers.

Steer clear of the energy vampires, who suck and drain your energy and time often with negativity, fear, hate, and anger. There are many of them ready to suck you dry.
