Have you ever wanted to reach out to someone but your ego has not allowed you to make that connection?
Have you ever had a argument with someone at work or with a friend and the dynamic of the relationship has not been the same?
Do you have trouble making connections with people because your are constantly worried about what they think or even worse what you think about them?
This is the ego talking to you and it is not your friend.
Your ego is constantly judging, comparing and categorizing. This is the killer of happiness. For some, it may be a reinforcement of what they have or if what they are doing is “cool” but it is only a temporary fix.
It does not contribute to long term happiness and can eventually isolate you. By judging people, you fail to miss out on the opportunities of friendship and life lessons.
As humans, we are constantly striving for that next fix to make ourselves feel better which is usually through an outside force. That force can be justification from an item or from other people. In today’s social media world, it could be in the form of “likes” or “follows” from people that we have never met and may never care to meet.
You ultimately miss out on happiness and making human connections.

We are constantly worried about who is looking and what will they think. This can actually put us in a box mentally and can ultimately break down any bit of happiness.
Happiness is not listening to anyone regardless if what they have to say, whether it is be good or bad. It is listening to your intuition and doing what you want to do (without hurting others) and not giving a shit.

As infinite beings, we are only here (on earth) for a short time and we should make the most of it and have fun.
It is what we came here to do, to experience the joy of being human and being on earth.
- So take the time to reach out to people even if they have not reached out to you. If they do not respond, that’s okay. You will not have that weighing on your heart and you can move on in peace.
- Let go of any grudges that may have developed between you and a friend or co-worker.
- Let go of having to please people and worry about if they like you. Life is too short.
- Have fun and make the most of it while you can.
- You never know who you’ll meet.
