Dear Folks,
Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other. — Author Unknown
We all Participate to some degree or another. How are you going to share your life? You can be of service to an idea, an ideal, a person, or a segment of society. You can be a loner or aspire to the highest public appreciation. Popularity is usually ascribed to the feeling of others toward the self. But it always begins with self-esteem.
Peace,
Jim

Comments:
• You know what you are attracted to. Let those aspects of yourself shine through as you live your life. Focus first on the qualities you have naturally, then expand your repertoire of qualities.
• Decide who it is important to be popular with. Associate with people with whom you can feel comfortable. To be accepted by some people is not worth your effort. If they will accept you only if you take negative actions, don’t bother with them. Don’t forget common sense. Get yourself out of a bad situation before you get into it. You decide what and who you should be, not what they want you to be.
• Popularity is often being able to fit in with the structure, rules, and circumstances of the group. Therefore, be astute in measuring what is required – or ask.
Questions:
• Am I nice to be around?
• Do I have the tendency to hide or shade my best qualities because I believe it would not be popular to show them?
Note: Go ahead and exhibit yourself. As you do, you will acquire the finesse to be yourself with an acceptable attitude.
