"What a beautiful world this would be? What a glorious time to be free?"
How profound is that statement, and when would you have the chance to use it in casual conversation? I do hope I do say that one day, when I am sitting on the veranda of some hotel overlooking the African Serengeti. (And I hope Karen is beside me pointing out the highlights.)
In talking with a friend today, and a new one and dear one at that, I was reminded how IMPORTANT relationships are. Relationships, like friends, lovers, colleagues, husbands and wives, that really is what makes your day. Molds and turns you down the next path in life. We are creatures that do indeed have the intelligence to walk down our path, but what makes life most interesting, fun and inspiring, is letting others affect you, EFFECT you.
When you can get so caught up in your own mind, what is afflicting yourself alone at that moment, when you share your world with those people around you, tilt it, some how your perspective can be just scewed in a way that when you tilt that picture their way, it becames more clear.
Independence is a great thing, and every morning when the day is beginning, you have the ability to start effecting others with "Your" mindset. But take note of how much you can take in, listening to others.
Listen, and you can filter.
