Buy the Shoes

 Fascinating, isn’t it, how there are those who decide upon living in abundance, and the next thing you know, they’re swimming in it?

There are those who think about being more creatively fulfilled, and as if by magic, all the right steps, connections, and inspirations present themselves. Being creatively fulfilled can be a rewarding and fulfilling aspect of life. It can allow individuals to express themselves in unique ways and can also lead to a sense of personal satisfaction and accomplishment. However, it’s important to remember that creative fulfillment looks different for everyone and can be achieved through a variety of different activities and hobbies. Some people may find fulfillment through art, music, writing, or other forms of self-expression, while others may find it through problem-solving, building, or other more technical pursuits. 

Ultimately, the key is to find what makes you happy and fulfilled and to pursue it with passion and dedication.

And then there are those who simply want more friends, laughter, and song. Having friends, laughter, and song in one’s life can be an important aspect of overall well-being.

Having friends can provide a sense of belonging, support, and companionship. Social connections can also lead to increased happiness and can help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Laughter is a great way to reduce stress and improve one’s mood. Studies have shown it to release endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators.

Music can also have a positive impact on one’s well-being. People can use it as self-expression to relax and unwind and to connect with others. Listening to music can have a calming effect and can also help to improve one’s mood.

If someone wants to have more friends, laughter, and songs in their life, they can try to put themselves in social situations where they can meet new people, take part in group activities, and attend events where they can enjoy music. They can also seek online communities and forums where they can connect with others who share similar interests. Joining a group, club or society that aligns with their interests can also be a great way to meet new people and make friends, and their life becomes a celebration.

Mind you, I didn’t say everyone. Some want these things, they even want them real “bad,” but they simply don’t put themselves within my reach by physically preparing the way, acting “as if,” or “buying the shoes.” Those people do not actually buy the shoes they try on the shoes not understanding that clothing including shoes reflects our own hopes and dreams. By only trying on the shoes rather than buying them some of us fail to recognize that fashion is intimately connected to our sense of self. We buy shoes and other clothing in the hope of somehow reframing ourselves to further open up our lives and our stories but for some, they only go as far as trying to buy the shoes.
