Why do we try so hard to impress those who have no interest in us, yet neglect those who are moved, inspired, and blessed by us simply being who we are?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Wondering while I wander...enjoying the journey a long the way.

I am forever maturing, forever growing, and forever inspired by love. It represents me and I see it in you. It provides the color of life and remains a path that I am discovering on a day to day basis. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

I think that statement is best explained by the belief that "the grass is greener on the other side." People, by their nature, are always looking to maximize their potential, consciously or subconsciously. I think that if someone shows no interest in you or what you have to offer and you neglect the people that do show interest, you in some way feel that you could be "doing better" or "more." I think this is a natural mindset to have, given the human desire to maximize one's potential. However, I do feel there has to be a middle ground.
Nice blog btw. I've been going to salsa classes myself. We'll have to go next time I'm in NY.
Because we feel we have already secured a good impression with those who like us as we are and so do not think of them. We want strangers to say, "That guy look good" or, "Wow, he looks like a really nice guy". Because that means more to us coming from one we didn't know than from one we did know and who we know was already impressed.
If that makes sense!
