Outstanding Waterfront Accommodations and Awarded #1 Restaurant for Casual Fine & Pub Dining in Cape Breton for 2024
When you put good out into the world, good comes back. Call it karma, or whatever you want… but it’s true. If you are kind, kindness will flood your doorsteps. You can’t be liked by everyone. No matter how hard you try, some people just won’t like you. Sometimes it’s from personal experience, sometimes it’s from what others have told them. Once you accept that, life gets a lot easier. Friends come and go, unfortunately. It’s life. Sometimes friendships you thought would last forever, end abruptly and you’re left wondering why. Stop wondering. You’re never going to feel satisfied with any answer they give you. Own your part in it, learn from it, and then close that door. That chapter has ended. Allow a new one to begin. A simple text just to see how someone is doing can mean the world. Just to know someone is thinking about you and cares, can turn a whole day around. Send the text. No one owes you anything. Forgive even if you don’t get an apology. You can’t begin to heal while you’re still holding on to the hurt. Let it hurt for a moment. Forgive, and let it go. You’re going to be too much for some people. Too loud. Too opinionated. Too talkative. Those people will never get you. Find the ones who do… and love them hard! People are going to talk about you. Give them good material. Extend grace to those who need it. We all struggle sometimes. Life is tough. It’s messy. And it’s ugly at times. But it’s also so beautiful. And exciting. And full of adventure. Chase them all! Be a light. Don’t let anyone dull your shine. You never know who may be looking to you for a little bit of joy. Be that joy.
Go to your kid’s football game!
Try a new restaurant! Go somewhere you’ve never been!
Look at the stars! Take the pictures! Watch the sunset! Take the trip! Buy the shoes! Eat the cake or the tacos!
And, most importantly, learn to love yourself. And forgive yourself for not being perfect. Perfect is boring!
