Isn’t it a crazy feeling when you are surrounded by a crowd of people, yet inside you feel empty and lonely? Lonely like it is just you. You versus the world. You have the world on your shoulders and all you want to do is let it all out but you don’t know where to start, nor do you know who to talk to.
We are all human and we can all get full of up of our emotions to the point where we feel like bursting. Like my parents used to say to me: A problem shared is a problem solved. Or maybe halved? All depends on who you’re sharing it with I guess! But yes I guess I can agree, when you let it out in the open you feel a heap of relief like a burden has been lifted, and there is always sunshine after the rain. The trick of the book is to see the light when it is all darkness, and erase yourself from a tunnel vision but to see it as a learning experience one that is helping to shape your perspective for the better.
Usually when we go through tough times in our lives we feel like there is no hope for tomorrow and that we have no-one there for you. I want to be that person where people feel comfortable turning to. The thought of making someones’ day and helping a friend really gives me an inner-sense of joy. I feel like I have succeeded in something truly remarkable, and it makes me know that I am serving this life well. I think anyone could agree with me that it feels good to make others feel good.
It’s like when you read a book and you feel as though the author is speaking to you. You feel a connection and you relate to the scenarios and contexts of the novel in a way that inspires you. Or when you watch a film and you look at your partner next to you and squeeze one-another when the films speaks of words that you both instantly relate to.
I watched a friend of mine go from feeling like she had no-one there for her to totally shifting her awareness and knowing she had the world on her side. This all happened because of one thing – because she believed that she had the world on her side. They say you have to be careful what you say to yourself because you are listening. That couldn’t be more true. The mind is a powerful thing!
“You Are Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera is a beautiful song. This image above resonates that peak emotion I feel when I listen to it, when I sit back and think about who I am and where I have come from. How do you expect someone else to love you if you don’t even love yourself?
