Find your tribe.
Those very special people who bring great joy to your life. Who make you happy when you’re sad. Who lift you up when you fall down. Who accept you and love you for who you are. Who encourage you to embrace who you are and where you are and what you are feeling, without question and without asking you to change.
You may not have more than one or two of these people in your life, and that’s fine. They may be a motley crew, and that’s fine too. And if you don’t have a tribe, don’t give up until you find them. They will bring endless joy to your life and you will likely bring the same to them.
So go find your tribe. They’re waiting for you.
I’ve always thought that our mission in life is a lot like the way they choose the next Dalai Lama: they put an array of objects in front of the child-candidate, some of which belonged to the last DL. If the child picks out the DL’s things, they presume he is the reincarnation. In life each of us is presented with many, many objects, options, people. The challenge is to choose the things that really belong to us.
Wow. Never considered it that way, Alex. What a beautiful insight!
