Support from others can make difficult periods easier and good moments more meaningful, but it can’t replace the internal work that each individual has to do for themselves

This doesn’t mean kindness should disappear. Offering support, listening when someone is struggling and being there during difficult moments are all part of caring about the people in your life. There will be times, however, when someone repeatedly finds themselves in a situation that makes them unhappy but still chooses not to change it. Help can be given, suggestions can be shared and resources can be pointed out, yet the decision to act on them has to inevitably come from the person living that reality. Continuing to worry about how to fix something that they aren’t ready to change only leads to frustration, and it places responsibility in the wrong place.

I’m an honest person, I wouldn’t want my “like” to support something I disagree with.

Today I had a pleasant surprise. My site was looked up by google. I am important enough now to be noticed by the search engine. I want to thank all of you, especially my followers and people who reblog my stuff. I couldn’t have done it without your help.

Odds are nobody will be reading it, so what’s the problem?

As I was merrily working my way through my 100 Days of Cloud challenge, I was posting links to my articles across LinkedIn, Twitter and Reddit, not many people really replied, but then something happened. There were a few people that would reply to me more than once, or I would spot the same few people liking my posts all the time, so guess what I did? I had a look at their profile and started to see what they were posting about and to my amazement, wow there were doing similar things to me, and no doubt they were probably battling with the same doubts, or barriers that I was dealing with. so, I liked their posts as well, I offered them words of support and encouragement.

A huge support for all of my goals has always been having a community behind me and making what I call ‘friendship dates’

In that way, we are supporting each other in shared goals during our date.

We are not only showing friends they are important to us in this way, but showing ourselves that we are important enough to choose the right people to be around for us and the right ways to use our limited time together.
