Edit Blog Posts I woke up this morning with an image of a circle stuck in my head and I struggled to see why. I wasn't quite sure what the purpose of a circle was, but as i begin to think about the definition of a circle it all began to make sense. Whether it is used as a noun or verb, it appears that all of these definitions have been fueling my thoughts this morning.1.shape of perfect hollow ring:a two-dimensional geometric figure formed of a curved line surrounding a center point, every point of the line being an equal distance from the center point5.group of people:a group of people who share a common interest, profession, activity, or social background7.cycle:a process or series of events that ends at the point at which it began or that repeats itself continuously1.transitive and intransitive verbmove along curving route:to move, or move around something, following a curving route or path that ends where it began and usually repeats its cycle3.transitive verbsurround place or area:to surround a place or an area with peopleMost things in our life revolve around a circle, and its interesting to step back and see what those things are. Our networks of friends and families are circles and based on the size of those circles how connected do you feel to the people in your circle? What does your Circle/circles say about you? In looking at the definition of a circle being the shape of a hollow ring, based on its size does it become more hollow the larger it becomes? As our circles get larger do we lose the core of the original circle?Do the similarities of the people that are a part of your circle still exist in the same fashion as the once were? As we grow and change it is to be expected that we change and so do our circles.Have you ever found yourself doing the same things over and over and wondering why things never change for you? Often times we have trapped ourselves in a circle of repetitive behavior that leads us to complacency. Once we recognize this, we may start to change our behaviors and actions to heed different results.While this important this isn't the only thing that is going to impact you, its also important to look at the people you have around you. Even though you have made a change to get differentresults, have you made changes to your circle of friends. Take a moment and examine the circles of people that you have around you and see who is there for you and not just for their own personal benefit. Its amazing to see how your circle can be that thing that builds you up or tears you down.I challenge you to examine the circles in your life, and see where you are currently. Don't be afraid to make your circles smaller or even to start with a dot and take your time and eventually start another circle. Your circle starts with you and if remember what makes you strong then build the foundation of your circle based on your core values.Thank you for being a part of my circle and replacing the hollowness with friendship and love.
