CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A friend describes cold rainy days like this as “Earl Grey Tea” kind of days, when it’s best to just sit in front of a fire with a nice cup of tea. Two men chose not to do that tonight, and joined me for the workout, and I was very impressed and grateful for their presence. But the phrase also reminded me of a post I had seen online, called “Not your cup of tea”. The point of it was that try as we might, there are just some people that we do not coexist well with, and although we should always try to reach out and form bridges, we shouldn’t feel guilt ridden, angry, or frustrated if our attempts fail. Rather, we should let those folks walk their own paths, and save our energy and our hearts for those who we find synergy with, who energize us and help us improve as people.
