Things I've Learned (From Running a Business and Turning 40) #3


And then there was a moment when I realized that possibly the most important thing for us as humans is the quality of our relationships - not only our long-term relationships, friendships, family, but our smallest interactions as well. We don’t have to become best friends with everyone we meet, with everyone we connect with - we just have to respect them as the humans they are, as we would respect ourselves, as we would want to be respected.

It’s one of those exciting things about life; how it can be so simple and yet so inter-connected it appears complex. The moment I connect with you and you connect with me we are present together. That connection is a creation, a vibration, a real thing.

The fallacy is that we don’t matter, or that we are separate, alone. But our very existence causes creation, manifests connection. We are a part of nature, a part of the universe, a part of each other. When we acknowledge that by addressing the quality of our relationships, by taking a moment to connect and respect, the ripples that spread are of a beautiful vibration.

When we receive we can give, when we give we can receive.

Let go.

Breathe.

Open.

Feel the flood of the ripples coming back to you.

Repeat.
