Sure we have obvious differences one from another, but really we are all the same. Our struggles may be different on the surface, but the lessons are all the same. I write this blog from experience, so no never think that I am speaking in a clinical forum never having been through any of the very matters for which I write. My mom always told me that "I learn things the hard way", and well she was right....I indeed do. What I write, might seem simple or like I'm suggesting it was arrived at easily....Well there is not enough sarcasm to relay how untrue that is. As I write even this post, I am still searching answers that in my 42 years of living haven't yet been obtained. What I can tell you is that I freely share the answers I have thus far found to be true and work. However out of reach they may seem to you in your present situation of growth, they are very much obtainable. What I can also tell you is that in both dealing with my journey and listening to countless of those around me, we truly are all the same. We have the same lessons to learn, same insecurities, same struggles though presented differently. Letting go of ego and thinking "we are the only ones" is the first step to healing. I wish I could assure you once you let go of ego and can'ts how easy life becomes in a better way than to simply say "trust me that this is true"....but well, trust me that this is true. Your happiness and growth are up to you, and are as obtainable today if you just let go of your grip on your outlook of "can't because". Growth is continual, but happiness is available at all times, if you just open your mind and release your false realities of why you can't be happy until!
I like that, "growth is continual, but happiness is available at all times".
ReplyDeleteMy dad did a lot of studies on the basic human needs that we all have; acceptance, love, security, valuable, etc. We really do all break down into the same basic components, and our struggles derive from a lack of the same. It some ways it may seem like we're losing our individuality because our struggles aren't "unique"; but isn't there a great connection in knowing that the strangers walking by are really quite familiar?
