Only Those Who Risk...

Facing your own problems and demons is probably one of the hardest things a person has to deal with in life. We would rather have others give us advice and guidance on how to change or we wrap ourselves up in our friend’s and loved one’s problems. We are content with avoiding our own problems.

Or we turn to others to fill that void. We find a friend or signigicant other that can complete us and hide what is missing. We keep finding quick fixes but never deal with the true problem at heart. And then those quick fixes disappear and we are left as empty as before.

Its hard to really analyze yourself and figure out what is wrong and missing. Where do you begin? How do you truly know what is wrong? Sometimes it can seem like everything is spiraling out of control and you have no clue where to begin.

But to really be happy and enjoy life, to truly appreciate others in life, you need to address those problems on your own. You can’t expect others to come swoop in and make you whole again. It is unfair to them and it is detrimental to the relationship.

I guess it goes back to just loving yourself and becoming comfortable with yourself so others can in turn love and appreciate you for who you truly are.
