Do you have people in your life you connect with on a level most people do not understand? They are your kindred spirits.

Kindred spirits, to me, are a step above a friend. They get you and all your -isms. In my latest video, I celebrate the kindred spirit. I am grateful for friends who touch me on a heart level. This video is about you.

Who are the kindred spirits in your life and how do you celebrate them?

How to Deal with an Opinionated Person

June 12, 2013 by 5 Comments

opinionated

 

I looked up the word Opinion and here is what I found:

OPINION

1 a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter
2 belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
3 a formal expression of judgment or advice by an expert
I know we go throughout our day formulating opinions about this and that. That is a good thing, as it is substance for good conversation and opportunities to learn something new. What is not good about opinions is when you become the object of someone’s said opinion.
Unfortunately, some people use their belief filter to make a judgement about you that you did not necessarily ask for. Have we become so relaxed in basic respect that we offer our opinions to people who do not want or need them? We are all guilty of this, but I believe there is a way to deal with people who do this to you constantly.

While my opinion is playful, there is some realness in it, also. In the end, you can not allow garbage to enter your thoughts. Even if it is coming from “well-meaning” family and friends or non-friends. Sometimes, you have to reject it and keep it moving.
