Have you noticed that each of us has our own little hobby horse, "our thing", which is constantly in our thoughts and conversations?   Could you look at each one of your friends and family and know what "their thing" is?

Especially as we grow older we start to notice more that, in general, each person has something that drives them, something that they talk about constantly and want to share with others.   I have a couple of things, one I keep to myself most of the time or share only with those who share the same esoteric interest (Theosophy, Qabalah, Ageless Wisdom) and the other one is how we think and how that effects how we act and that creates our own little reality.   I find myself reading books about it, watching Ted Talks, viewing seminars etc., and the more I learn about it the more I want to help people see it too.   However, I have to temper my enthusiasm because whilst its "my thing" its certainly not everyones and I could drive you mad unless you are someone who is curious and wants to learn and discuss it too.    When you can see the benefits of something and how changing your thoughts can have a ripple effect on to your actions and reality you just want it to be common knowledge, especially when so many are in mental pain at the moment.

So let me ask you the question - what's your thing?    What do you spend time thinking about, learning about, talking about with others?    Does it dominate your thoughts and, if so, are you happy with that? 

With a few close friends or family why not look at what makes each of you so different - what is their 'thing' ?  Does it drive you mad or do you share their enthusiasm.   Do you find yourself moving away from people who constantly "push their thing" at you, or do you accept that's just who you are.

Be curious, connect with others, and enjoy finding out what drives you/them.

Namaste
