people

I love that at 42, I still learn every day. The most random lessons from friends and what they are going through. From parenting. From people I meet for a moment on the train or in my classes. As you go through life, you meet a LOT of people. As I get older, I am less impressed by most of them. There comes a point in your life, when you truly stop caring if "everybody likes you". It is an amazingly freeing when that happens. This usually happens when you figure out that you don't particularly like everyone either. It's not that you "dislike" them, but more that you begin to look for the quality and the connection that makes the human experience truly special. Time gets shorter as you get older. You have to decide who is really worth staying connected to. There are wonderful people that pass through our lives. Although it seems sad, it is part of the journey. Our days are spent in one location and usually in one routine. The people we spend those days with is somewhat predetermined for us. The very few extra hours you get in your week are precious. Make sure that you are surrounding yourself with people who feed you emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Make sure that these people are also being fed by YOU.
