Creative Connections

May 28, 2011 by Margaret Duarte

Our relationships can light the way to accomplishment. 

Creative connections with like-minded people create a positive mental atmosphere in which we can grow.  They offer support, confidence in our abilities, assistance where we need help.

So be mindful of who you hang out with today.

And try to forge a new relationship with someone who directly or indirectly has your best interests in mind.

Open up to life’s synchronicities, to the messengers along your path.

Have a great day!

    Margaret, this makes me remember what my mother used to tell me.
    "You are judged by the people you run with."

    So I agree. Be careful who you hang out with even if you don't do what they do, people will still think you do.

    good Lord, there is a lot of do's there.

    Hi Dorothy. Let me add to that. "You judge yourself by the people you run with." Either way, it doesn't hurt to run with people who inspire.
