Faux Pas: I have recently heard, "any one would be lucky to have you, you are amazing"-or variations of it-quite frequently. While this statement is meant as a soother, it is blatantly false and I don't like it. You know when you are at the grocery store and you buy really plump chicken breast only to realize while cooking them, that they looked so great because they were injected with water?! It is the same idea, displaying a product to be more than it really is. Anyone would not be lucky to have me, a select few is more like it. FYI this is not me being depressed! Mine is a personality of simple beginnings, vicious speed, dreams beyond capacity, and endless hope. This "type" that I am, works well with some however, it hasn't worked with a few more than some. This is wherein the faux pas lies, in any relationship be it business, friend, or passionate, we cannot expect to work with everything that life has to offer. This is where life gets its charm. We must be honest with who and what we are and not get bogged down when we are "rejected" or "neglected" because, it may simply be that our "types" didn't mesh. It says nothing of who you are but everything about what doesn't work so that next time you can avoid the time taken in investing in something that will have the same outcome regardless of how hard you try. Figure out what/who will work with you and go for that. Don't waste time on telling yourself that you are amazing and anyone, any company, any person/place/animal/thing would be lucky to have you, it's a lie. You are amazing, that much is true, but you are also unique and as such will only "fit" in certain places, that is what gives you and me our charm. Don't spread yourself thin and try to be everyone, keep yourself close and develop wonder so you can be exquisit for something/someone.
