Find Your People, Your Place, Your Truth
Who do you call when storms blow in and disturb your plans? Who do you contact when you are struggling? Who is your cheerleader and who reins you in when you are tempted to sit in justified self-pity way too long.
Who is in your circle of friends who tells you the bare-bones truth? Don’t we all need someone outside of ourselves who can see us with 20/20 vision.
If all of your friends (your people) go from crisis to crisis and seem “happiest” in the dark and dirty valley… Girl, you need new friends!!!
Statistics show that our income will average that of our 5 best friends. In addition to income, the same is true of accomplishments and attitude.
I am blessed to have friends in a highly caffeinated circle of over-achievers, life-long learners and curious optimists. They are far from perfect, just like me, but they focus on the future, not the past. Some are family; some are friends. They are my cheerleaders, my home base, my center.
When I am pulled into the darkness by tragedy, circumstances or isolation, they pull me out. They can look inside my false exterior and see that I am in need of a hug and an honest assessment of the place where I am stuck.
Sometimes, we can sit in isolation so long that the darkness feels normal, safe and comfortable. I have been there. Someone else can offer perspective and pull us out of the quicksand.
We are honestly malleable or able to re-form/re-imagine ourselves till the day we exit earth. Yes! We can rise above the fray, come out of the gray and add color and dimension to a lifeless, lackluster existence. I have a long way to go but I am moving!!
We need community!! We need to belong! For me, it’s my stager/realtor friends, clients, family but mostly, it’s my church. We Are Family!!! cue Sister Sledge.
Are you drifting? Do you need an anchor? I hope you find your people, your place, your truth.
