What does Trip Advisor Say?

New People, New Energy and New Surroundings.  These things tend to herald a new season after a lot of testing and consideration and sometimes equal a new chance at happiness.  We should not be afraid of these things because they can be truly positive.  We have a chance to interact daily with a number of people, some we have no choice as they may sit next to us, or occupy the same office space or classroom.  Others pass by us through meetings or casual interactions and some, being family, we get to interact with whether we want to or not. None of these interactions are bad or negative - they can in fact be just the opposite, but the reality is that they become comfortable and habitual.   There may be a new opportunity to connect with someone that you have not seen for a long time or that you meet at a function or event.  Take some time to connect and find out about the person, who they are and don't be afraid to ask questions that are relevant and of interest.  You may not always have an instant friendship and the goal in life as one gets older is not the number of friends you have but the quality of the friendships.  Yet still there is much to learn from others and you never know the impact they may have, or the opportunities they may present, or even the doors that they could open.  Interactions like this mean very often that there is a new energy and a bit of excitement about.  Creativity flows and potential sits in wait for us to exploit and take hold of.  The energy I am talking about is fresh ideas and directing the energy time we have, to the passions that make us alive.  It is very easy to slip into a daily routine of ensuring that our immediate surrounding and life are secure, comfortable and with as little risk as possible.  But this is not always the place where great goals and dreams are established, or even implemented.  You may need a change of surroundings to ensure that happiness can follow.  I'm not advocating selling up and moving to Europe necessarily, but what works for you and your closest family, or in business simply making some considered changes (maybe even a plant in the office) or taking time out to do something other than work, to open your mind to what you have and how you can improve it.  Time away could help to bring your goals and dreams closer to your purpose and should they collide, the happiness may blow your mind.
