Cup of Zen

“There are always things I can learn about the world by inviting more people into my world.” ~ Lucas Dahl

So often we settle ourselves into our own little worlds when things get discombobulated or when we need inspired focus. We shut people out. We shut out the hussle and bussle of everyday life.  We sit in our cozy comfy living spaces and dive into our own minds, our own inner spaces to figure things out.  Alone.

The truth is we surround ourselves with wonderful people for a reason.  Use them.  Too often we don’t want to bother our friends. Why not?  I know I love being “bothered” by my people. I especially love hug requests (except from the creepy guy in the corner cubicle… No hugs for him).  So do your friends.  Seriously sometimes just a hug can make things go better and bring a bit of clarity. Pick their brains.  Ask what they’re reading.  Ask what they think. We are human beings and we are meant to communicate and touch.  Interact.

Invite people into your world and see how much they add to it. We can’t always inspire ourselves.
