I am sitting here today thinking deeply about my relationships and the people in my life. I often am surprised that I have as many great people in my life as I do. I like people. Not all of them by any means, but the ones I like, I really like. I enjoy the company of others and respect the time and energy I share with those close to me. Sure. There are many people I do not care for based upon their actions, words, and overbearing egos, but for the most part I align myself with those that I believe to be pure of heart and generally good people.

Too often in life, the day to day complications do not give us enough time to evaluate the people in our lives that make it special. There are the loved ones, that often get the short end of our stick, because we take for granted that they will always be there for us. There are those that we feel drawn to and compelled by, and often we gravitate towards them in an attempt to be more like them. Other people casually wander in and out of our lives with little fanfare and excitement. There are those we may not care for with whom we must interact. And then there are those people who generally drive us nuts that we will do anything to avoid. This entire spectrum of people make up the small universe each of us live in on a daily basis.

I am working hard to evaluate how people in my life affect my actions and my feelings. I am trying to be more conscious of all types of these relationships so that I can better focus my energy on those who need it the most. Too much of our time is wasted on people we do not really care for, but why? It is human nature to identify problem areas or people and to do our best to address and attack these beings for what is wrong with the world. We often look too closely at these negative relationships and waste opportunities to really focus on the positive and fruitful relationships in life.

I will meditate deeply on the many faces that make up my universe and look for those that bring me joy and confidence. It is in these faces that I will find the truth. I will find my path to greatness. I will find my answers. Understanding that it is important to use our life force wisely will help me to gravitate towards those in my life who are worthy of my time and respect. All others can back up off me and let a player play. I hope you take a minute today to look at those around you, whether in your personal life, in this movement, at work, or at play and make wise choices as to who deserves your time and energies. These are valuable resources.

For those in my life that I like, see you soon:).
