Follow Your Bliss

I have always believed in "product of your environment" "you are who you hang out with"  "be with the kind of people you want to become" etc, but now I know there is a difference between believing in being surrounded by greatness, and being around greatness…. After spending time with someone, I realize they either make no impression or they make me grateful that I was able to spend time with them.  Great people lift me up--even when nothing is wrong; they bring me to life--like charging up the batteries that life extinguishes; whatever situations are going on--they make me forget its existence.  Great people are like healthy seasonings: They bring color, variation, enhancement…they bring…life.  It's said that God is in the details, and I would agree.  I would also add he is in all things unexplained - There's just that "something" a true good-hearted person does that is quite indescribable and maybe that indescribability is what m...
