Flourishing, and Not Surviving In Your Environment

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.~ Maya Angelou

The world is a dark and dangerous place. While that may sound a tab bit melodramatic, there are a lot of nasty people out there. So much to an extent it's easier to be cynical and turn reclusive. However, that is no excuse really to be jerk about things. While the chips may be down for being a good person, it's worth it. If you give it time, you'll have everyone singing with you.

As humans we are like batteries. Whatever you plug into or hang around, you end up soaking it in. Whether you willingly or unwillingly desire it. With working, or spending around people who are not very nice, it can rub off onto you. Making it hard to come clean and be free from things you would rather leave behind.

Since this happens, it's important that you charge up everyday to face what you face every day. Although you cannot pick who you spend time with always, balance the people who you don't want to be with those who you want to be. Other techniques are, spending somewhere quite and do some soul searching, mentally sorting things, cleaning up things and chucking things out. Also, taking a walk with a lot of greenery also is pretty good; Smelling the sites and just having that quiet. Letting things just go, choosing to release things, unhealthy things that are just best gone.

The trick really, is learning to limit certain things. Opening one door and closing another so that you don't end up facing two wars on a different front. The reason this is so important is that so the world doesn't bring you down. For if you are brought down, you may find others fall too. That is why you must recharge your batteries, brush away things, and let things be gone. Otherwise things will get too much, it'll all build up, and when that one bad day happens you'll fall apart. However, if you're prepared and regularly detox from all the junk that life throws at you, you can instead flourish.

 In life, it can be tough out there in the world, but hey your a flower. A flower that if you take care off, and treat well can flourish anywhere; a gladdening sight for everyone.
