Finding Your Tribe: Connecting with Like-Minded Souls

Its all about building joyful meaningful connections

Why is this important?

Finding people who share your values, beliefs or interests fosters a sense of belonging and connection. These relationships can offer support, encouragement and growth.

I feel more comfortable with people who are kind, loving and generous LIKE ME because we live in a world today where people are wearing “fake happy” masks. It’s good to have that special person (s) (could be anybody) listen to your heart ache and pain and NOT judge you. It’s good to have that special person join you on a trip to 6 flags New England and just ride the rides with you and enjoy the day. It’s good to have that special person to celebrate birthdays, holidays, you see where I’m going with this?

We think people are cool but it’s only a matter of time you’ll see them for who they really are

And it can be ugly. I had a co- worker in 2022 ask me to dinner for a whole year! I finally went out with her last year just to see what the hype was all about. Turns out it was nothing. When she pulled up to my house, she was stunned and parked her car almost 2 houses down. I thought that was weird and maybe I should’ve cancelled our plans right then and there but I didn’t. My co-worker lived in a building, is ten grand in debt and was just dealing with depression because she isn’t happy with herself. So why on earth was she super pressed to go out with me for?

The point is she wanted to see HOW I was living compared to her.

Sometimes people are like that. In this world we’re living in today people are JEALOUS and NOT happy with themselves, so they want to be noisy. Once they find out how good you’re doing they start to act funny and do little things to hurt you. I experienced this type of behavior with her too.

Sometimes it’s hard to find the RIGHT kind of people to hang around with.

People who act and think like you, who love the same fun things you do. People who just want things in life like you. My co-worker told me she didn’t want to learn NOTHING new in life when I asked her if she wanted to learn copy writing. She just wants to work, pay bills and eat. (Yes she’s kind of heavy set) It’s her choice but that’s her reality and the reality of others.

That was my first mistake. I want to be around people who want to grow in life. It’s best to find people who are living decent and who are JOYFUL about life. It’s like searching for WALDO in a large crowd of people. It’s like searching for that 4 leaf clover in dense patches of clover.

It’s hard but NOT impossible. Especially since everyone seems to be protecting their peace from everyone if they don’t know you. They don’t want to get hurt and I don’t blame them. It’s not like the old days where everybody’s hands are open to be your friend. Those times are gone.

Now days people are cautious.

If they don’t know you, they don’t want to know you. It’s hard today to make/find a friend. All things are possible with God! There are some Joyful souls out here still on this earth willing to try you out (test you out ) that you can hang with. Hanging with people that aren’t happy with themselves isn’t a great idea. I didn’t know my co-worker wasn’t happy with her life.

There are signs that people aren’t happy with their life. Just study them. Watch what their clothes look like, how they keep their hair. Look at how they keep their transportation.

Other signs to look for in unhappy people are

• Mood swings

• Lack of motivation

• changes of appearance

Life is too short to be fooled by people who are “Secretly Jealous” of you!

Protect your Peace and keep your Joy with people who are your kind of crazy:)
