The People You Meet.....

-
We are all social animals.... Every single on of us... We need and thrive of each other.... There is a reason why solitary confinement is a punishment. We might not get along with everyone we meet.... Your family, friends, acquaintances etc. We all have that one family member, or friend in your friend circle or business partner who gives you a lot of grief.... But the fact of the matter is we need them in our lives as well.

Being civil is an art... not everyone can master it.... Some people are fantastic at it.... those are the people you should be careful with because you have no idea what they are thinking. Then you have the suck ups.... People who go out of their way to get noticed.... They are a little more easier to detect cause you know what they want at the end.....

But then you have your friends... They are an integral part of our lives.... we value their opinions, values etc. Often times we work in tandem with them and if they turn out to be sincere it creates an ever lasting relationship. But sometimes people you were close to tend to fade away. They become busy and wrapped up with their lives.... and you fall on to the side lines even if you were extremely important to them.

The fact of the matter is that most relationships we have today are superficial. Finding real connections with people is hard and you have test the waters before you dive in head long. You will be surprised you turns around and is there for you when you least expect it and the people you count on often times just glide away. Its not their fault sometimes there are actual reasons but then there are times when there aren't. But thats fine as well... we all say....

How many times have you heard this "Best friends are those who pick up right where they left of even if it was years later" That stands true for most part of it cause inherit personalities don't change but people in general do.... and that where you left of bit of it most often then not last for the initial honeymoon phase of any relationship. After that then you have to deal with why did we loose touch etc. Fact being your friends move on, relationships evolve..... There are so many experiences to be had.... different people to be met....

Every person you meet; whether he or she annoys you or makes you envious is irrelevant; will nurture your life.

Question is have you seen the good in the people you meet in order to see the gift.....????

That Sweet Moment!

I walked out of a shopping mall the other day and I saw my ex - ex employer. They were standing next to a tapri having a glass of chai with a smoke. This would have been my reality had I still been working for hotels. There was this sweet moment when they saw me; where I looked into their eyes and smiled know deep down I am in a much better place than they are today, even though they held superior positions to me within the organisation at the time.  While I was an employee, often times I was bullied by the senior members and not in a good way. There was a lot of discrimination partly because I was a girl and partly because someone found out that I came from a upper middle class household. It wasn't a fare game anymore. There was a rejoinder to every statement and a comment to every answer. To the point that it lead me to give them my resignation, Thus ending my career with the hotel trade.  I loved working in hotels. The staff, the energy, the synergy, the team work i...

The Rude Customer

Ever met a customer, who looks at you like you are lesser than a human being. Talks to you like you are stupid. Demands things from you like you are meant to do them. It feels like you standing with your lunch tray in hand at the cool kids table and they are mocking you.... Feels like high school all over again... When we were in high school we tried everything in our power to stay away from the cool kids (thats if you weren't one). You knew that if you tried you would get mocked at, ridiculed... so we would save ourselves the embarrassment and mind our own business. But now we have grown up and you have made something of yourself or on your way to it. You think you have grown up, matured and think we have left the queen bees and the jocks behind, because you have bigger things in life to worry about like mortgages and marriage and business etc. But has it really changed?? I think not! Its just a little different now, the only difference being you aren't in school or c...

You Are The Most Important Person In Your Life!

"Be 100% committed to anything you do." This is something we have grown up hearing from our parents, teachers etc. We hence, tend to over commit. We give so much of ourselves to aspects of our lives be it our companies, parents, friends, relationships etc. So when things don't work out we get so disheartened it almost destroys us sometimes. Is it worth it I ask? Someone recently told me "You are the most important person to you, everyone else comes a close second." This shocked me! What are you telling me that my parents, my to be husband, my work isn't suppose to come before me. Isn't that being selfish. No! Thats exactly what it doesn't mean. This doesn't mean I am insensitive or aloof. It means I take care of myself first so that I can take care of others when needed. I will still be there physically and mentally and our relationship; whatever it maybe; will still exists but I will be a more secure me mentally. So you get the best version o...
