Kindred Soul

 Kindred souls challenge us to live beyond our own limitations and trust in God who is huge! Our journeys of faith are so much richer and deeper when we are blessed by kindred souls who walk alongside with us, through laughter and tears, joy, and sorrows, wholeness and brokenness. A kindred spirit might be a friend you instantly boded with in college, then stayed close with despite moving to opposite sides of the country afterward. It could be a family member you have a deep friendship with. Or it could be a stranger you meet at an event and instantly feel drawn to, says Manly. The first step to finding your kindred spirit is to get out and explore the world around you. There are so many different people out there, and you'll never find your match if you stay cooped up at home all the time. Instead, get involved in your community, take up new hobbies, and travel to new places. When you surround yourself with positive people, they will support you and encourage you, and they will be there to help you when you need it. This can be huge help when you are trying to reach your goals, as it can be difficult to do it alone. With the support of others, you are more likely to succeed. When you surround yourself with positivity, you're more likely to adopt empowering beliefs and see life as happening for you instead of to you. Just as you benefit when you surround yourself with people who makes you happy, you suffer when those in your business or social circles are negative or narrow minded.
