Dig deep and find your own way. I am learning that no one is going to hold out their hand to show you the way or to help you up; that I must learn to do it all by myself. People may offer a kind word now and then, and that IS wonderful, but truly, people have their own lives and issues to address and don't have time to really offer something to someone else. Don't be disappointed.
True significance, meaning, joy, happiness, contentment, or whatever you seek is WITHIN not without. Nothing will ever make you happy until you learn to make yourself happy, until you learn to accept what is, and learn to let go of what you cannot change. The world, and ourselves, are imperfect. Pain happens. Problems happen. It is our response to it that matters and we cannot respond appropriately until we heal from within and make ourselves whole.
So how do we do that? I wish I had the magical answer for you and we would all be magically fixed. I have no answer. I am on my own journey at the moment. Losing my job in December has destroyed me and I am learning to start over and rebuild. Problem is, I don't know what the end is so I don't know how to work backwards to get there.
Here's to us! Here is to all the brave and bold people like me trying to figure it out alone. May answers come. May they be clear and obvious. May we accept them when they show.
All my best to you on your journey!
