People Say Too Much

Remember when people had filters?

When people kept their inconsiderate opinions to themselves? When people were asked what their thoughts on something were and THEN they would answer.

When people had manners?

Why do people feel the need to judge others choices, actions or thoughts? It is the anonymity that this virtual space provides people. The ability to say something to someone you would never say to their face. People are so quick to judge, criticize and selfishly act upon their own emotions.

When did we all stop thinking before we speak or write?

So often I see friends who are genuinely kind and caring people, who give freely to others, and selflessly in all acts - just get shit on by people who think they have established a rapport enough to do so. I am so tired of it.

It comes back to the friend thing again. The definition has been so mangled that the lines are blurred and people cross them too often. We all need to respect other people, and respect the boundaries that should exist.

So how do we fix this??

Being Receptive to New Things

I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual, and open to a lot of beliefs, and many concepts. I respect others beliefs, and certainly have an odd set of beliefs myself. I rarely talk religion or spirituality - and I am not talking religion now. For the record - I am an Agnostic Jew.

Two weeks ago I logged into my Twitter account and just asked how everyone was doing. The reply that got my attention the most came from @SimonHayHealer. Simon is a Medium and Healer in Brisbane, Australia. Simon's reply made me smile, gave me an immediate sense of peace, and piqued my curiosity. He replied that he was sitting next to an angel. I was intrigued.

I proceeded to have a small exchange of tweets with Simon about his Angel, and how his Angel helped him heal. I have always been receptive to things like that. I am not arrogant enough to assume to know anything beyond my own world, or about any other aspect of the Universe. I respect others beliefs, and gladly listen to what they wish to share.

I tweeted back to Simon that I wish I had an Angel. The thought seemed pleasant and comforting to me. The response was almost immediate. "You have three". I was floored. Yet somehow I knew he was right.

I often have a sense that there is truly someone/thing that "has my back". Call it what you will, I trust my intuition, and let my own instincts guide me. That intuition and those instincts may well be something a great deal more. Maybe we use those words to describe things bigger than us, that we can not explain.

Who knows. But I am quite glad I met Simon Hay, and thrilled with the amazing information he then relayed to me about my three angels, and their stories and history with me. Just remarkable, and his reading on who I am was on target completely, he certainly has a gift, and it helped me.

You should introduce yourself to him - say hi to @SimonHayHealer, tell him I sent you. Maybe you will learn something new about you.

Serendipity Effect

I want to begin this with the proper dictionary definition of serendipity, but I am somewhere at 37,000 feet and don't have wi-fi, so I shall insert that later.

I think about connections, tracing back things that happen to the point of decision.
"If I had done A then C never would have happened, so good thing I did B."
I often take it a bit further.

My whole life I have been fascinated by the trace back of the connections, and I like to follow it back as far as I can. With all of these trace backs and connections, I have concluded one thing - serendipity is really the rule of life.

I call it The Serendipity Effect. I do believe life isn't something that you control, life is something amazing that happens to you. No matter what choices you make, everything has a purpose, perhaps there is a plan. Maybe we are just puppets. I don't know. I am not arrogant enough to pretend to know. So I observe.

I often feel a sense of serenity, even in the most stressful times. It is a fairly recent development, as I feel I have come to understand and accept my life for what it has been, is, and will become. Everything for a reason and in its season. As though something, or someone, is watching and guiding me.

I think the serendipity effect has a lot to do with this. Everything that happens to me, every connection I make, seems to lead to something remarkable, and wonderful, whether a direct path or circuitous route - I eventually get there. I feel charmed, grateful and lucky.

Friends, and strangers, will often tell me how powerful my "energy" is. That they are "drawn" to me. People talk to me, find me, some even seek me, it is all rather surreal at times. Some people don't notice it, but I still notice the effect. It isn't necessarily something I always enjoy, or even understand, but allows me many great new connections and opportunities.

I love what the connections I have made over the last two years have brought me. Remarkable friends, remarkable events, remarkable opportunities, and truly extraordinary sense of wonderment. Life is fantastic, I appreciate it so much more, and can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

This is all as a result of my experiences in Social Media. There are amazing people out there. I can't wait to find more. The Serendipity Effect brings it all together. It truly connects us all, and has allowed me to grow and evolve so much. Thanks to all my wonderful friends. I am proud of each of you.

So what do you think? Does life happen, or do you happen to life? Do you believe in Serendipity?

[Tomorrow night (July 14, 2010) I will speak about my experiences and thoughts on The Serendipity Effect at Ignite Dover, hope to meet you there!]
