We Are Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea… and That’s OK (*)
The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, no matter what you try, will simply not like us (yeah! poor things lol!). But the world is also filled with those who will love us fiercely
The ones who love us: they are our people.Don’t waste your finite time and heart trying to convince people who aren’t your people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They won’t buy what you are selling. Don’t try to convince them to walk your path with you because you will only waste your time and your emotional good health. You are not for them and they are not for you. You are not their cup of tea and they are not yours.
Politely wave them along and you move away as well. Seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who you are.
We spend so much time focussing on the people who don’t matter that we can sometimes neglect the people that do love and support us unconditionally. Think of them now, think of the last time you told them just how much they mean to you. Make a plan to talk to them and let them know again and stop wasting your valuable time thinking about the people who can’t see just how awesome you are

Great Blog
I like the idea of being someone's double vodka.
And a happy New year to you guapa
That was the first thing that I learned in the Cyber world. Sure, it is in the real world too but there people are more subtle and diplomatic or perhaps two-faced depending on which way you look at it. It is as if the anonymous nature of Internet gives some people a feeling of power and invisibility.
I'm pretty sure that most of the weirdest and rudest people on here lead pretty normal lives in the real world but then I could be wrong about this.
But I agree with you completely and can't even fathom trying to convince anyone of my value.. or anyone else doing the same for me. If anyone can't realize it on their own then that's it.. finito..
Its not out of pride that I say this.. its just a matter of the other person having a certain level of intellectual and emotional maturity to realize such things on their own..
or maybe its the royal blood in me..
Anyway.. cool blog Chuchi..
Now I focus on those who love me, who can see right through me and still love me for who I am. Life is too short to worry about things we can't change, no matter what...
@Incu: I do not drink wodka but 3 years ago I shared this image in my facebook, I suppose it meant something I didn´t undertand at that time ...something like: "you better try wodka Cach, as you really like strong stuff wodka is what you´ll want"
Your royal blood will explain a lot of things ...I´m sure about that
I have people I'm close to that I love and I'm lucky that this works vice versa - these are the ones that are important to me.
It is a bummer if work colleagues don't like each other - I try to keep it professional and give them a wide berth, but it's not always easy if that doesn't work both ways.
You are not alone there hahahaha I´m sure all of us are related about that thing of having loose our precious time ....I´m recently started a new method, it calls "mental deadlines" hahahaha
Sooner or later all of us learn...I try to do it as fast as I can
You wrote it exactly how it is: If I do not like everyone ....why should I expect that everyone else likes me? Helloooooo welcome to earth!!!
....but sometimes -one way or another- all of us have thought we are better than anyone (yeahhhhhh!) so we only need to insist a little bit more to make others see the light ...it doesn´t happen ....it never happens since my experience
I wasted so much time on (as a friend of mine called them) 'candle people'.
Yeap ...I´ve read you saying what you said before lol! ....(I have noticed that some people seem to not like me but there is not much I can do about it so it does not bother me much) ....I´ve experienced that so many times too ...there are only two choices with me, love or hate, a very intense response from others ...Still do not know why but ....not that I really care either, just learned to live with it ....when I was young I guess I gave it a second thought (trying to understand why) but not anymore, as soon as we have people who loves us and some to love ...everything is going to be alright .....I read it on books LOL!
(I like you btw...virtually but I do
Y tú eres un digno representante de mi México amado.... no tienes idea de cómo extraño la galantería mexicana...y empezó en Israel justamente, un chavo que en las mañanas cuando iba a trabajar a la cocina del Kibbutz siempre me decía : " Buenas las tenga mi Martita, qué chula amaneció usted hoy" ...ahh, chinga quedito que era el muy canijo y yo inocente lol!
Soy fan del estilo mexicano. Gracias!
Universe works in very mysterious ways ....in a couple of weeks it will be my first birthday in CS, If I tell you why-how I landed here you´ll never believe me lol! (what you wrote made me think about that) ....be water Maya, we can´t hide, run, etc ......whatever is for us, will be no matter what or how, be positive and do not stop your search, you know how some men are with directions ....they never ask lol! that´s what I think about "mine" sometimes, the poor guy must be lost and doesn´t want to ask for help hahahaha
Ask your I-ching for it ...no more than X times per day
Glad you have liked this blog
Time to listen brother Bob with non stop .....
But maybe that stems from not caring.
I have always been of the opinion that I have no control over other people's thoughts and actions.
So it therefore doesn't bother me whether or which.

^This.
I keep working on that.
......do you like breathing?"
Thank you Vik! Buena rola
It´s easy when you can blame - hate ¿? that other person but when you do not need that to move away ...ha! then you can say you reached an upper level
Thanks.
I guess I'm still a little traumatized and rather scared of those who like me too much too fast.
We should spend more time trying to know ourselves, not only for us but also for others, everything would be easier, in my opinion ....
I do not trust and I do not develop feelings quickly ...not because I do not want to, it´s because I do not have enough information lol! intuition is very important but not reliable, it opens the door but doesn´t do the job ....
