Lessons from JJ

in #friends6 years ago (edited)

Our friend, Jaclyn , visited us in Puerto Rico last weekend. She is a student at our yoga center, a gifted choral director, and one of the most positive and caring souls I’ve ever met. I am so glad she stayed with us. We are closer friends now than before, and I learned a lot about her and (honestly) about myself from just a few short days being around her

Lessons I learned from JJ’s visit:
-ask and you shall receive...Or at least you are more likely to get it by asking than not! We had an open room, she had a cheap ticket, she asked 1st out of all our friends open heartedly and open-mindedly and it worked out. Bottom line - let people know what you want.

-follow up and follow through make all the difference. She asked, we told her availability, she said “great, how about that 1st date?” Okay - Done. 💥 When u have an opportunity, don’t delay. Jump on it when the energy is high. Don’t over think it! That energetic momentum makes it so much easier and more likely to happen. Bottom line - get it while the gettin’s good.

-JJ is truly a beautiful woman on the outside, but what REALLY draws people to her is her energy. Vitality. Nonjudgmental. Fun loving! We met so many folks over the weekend just peripherally because she exudes and it draws people to her. ✨Bottom line - it’s ALL about energy.

-a good student is one that is taught a nugget from a teacher and then passionately seeks and self educates more. Without judgement of self for not knowing or embarrassment of being a beginner. She seeks out more depth on topics that interest her and doesn’t wait to be spoon fed. Bottom line - don’t fear looking like a beginner.

-She shared a few examples going on lately in her life where what first appeared to be a problem or a setback actually turned into a big blessing. Bottom line - the antidote to poor me is gratitude. 🙏🏽

Yes, I like the seriousness, perseverance, vitality and exploitation of all opportunities, lead to strong personality, success passes through the stages that you have memorized in the publication. Thank you for the useful publication, beautiful pictures.

Your friendship lasted

Three Graces is what came to my mind immediately. Daughters of Zeus, representing Splendor, Mirth and Good cheer!

Looks like the three of you had a really great time there. Have learned your "lessons" with time as well, and I couldn't agree more to what you say.

Found antidote to poor me is gratitude to be the most important of all :-)

Lessons that are applicable to everything, especially to Steemit culture. Stay positive and have fun.

It would be great if she join Steemit 😊

I think she is!

That's great! Looking forward to it😊

upvote me once yes

Wow i liked the lessons a lot, most of them are already learnt lessons and I am still learning about "get it while the gettin’s good" because i used in the past to wait the perfect moment to do something to end doing nothing, I do achieve WAY more nowadays.

on the picture she is with the doggy, wow she is cute

"ask and you shall receive...Or at least you are more likely to get it by asking than not!"
That's one of my tenants I live by! The best way to get told no is to never ask the question in the first place :). I love this! Of course you would have a friend as wonderful as this woman!!

Photography just excellent, looking nice 👍
