Kindred spirits – a meme to consider
July 22nd, 2008 | by admin |Good afternoon,
There is a meme I’d like us to consider: Kindred spirit.
A kindred spirit (I’m just going to use kindred as a noun this point forward) refers to a person with whom you have an easy time relating; with whom you can talk easily; with whom you can walk a ways in comfort.
Kindreds are people to value in your life. Such people may turn out to be those with whom you can do more than the simple things of friendship, though that is wonderful enough.
For example, you could find the basis for partnering and masterminding in various ventures together.
The most kindred of kindred people in my life is my wife (no rhyme intended), Donna. After 20 years, she continues to be the light and the comfort of my life.
And when I find other kindred people, it makes my life much richer.
The reason for telling you about this is to warm up your awareness of this meme. By being aware that there can be kindreds in your life, you can stay alert to the possibilities.
One more point on this: not every kindred will be of the soul-mate variety. I have found kindreds in the workplace – regarding work, and little else. I have found kindreds in business, who also turn out to be people with whom Donna and I can spend time with. There’s no hard-set rule.
Be aware; be alert to the opportunities to connect with those who seem kindred to you. Your life will grow immeasurably richer as you do.
