How in the world is it possible to be true to ‘yourself' on a planet full of dismay? So many of us feel discouraged, disappointed, frustrated and angry …. we were trained not to rock the boat, upset our brothers and sisters, make messes and more. With this type of upbringing, what else would we know other than to pay attention to the needs of others, losing sight of our own needs leading to a spiritual and emotional if not a physical death as well.
Breakdowns have become a way of life; catastrophes are expected, and challenges are the norm. With all of this life going on around us, we're additionally surrounded by gurus attempting to show us how to be happy, experience joy as well as see the beauty within the darkness. Are we feeling overwhelmed and depressed because we haven't a clue on how to make a difference in the world or is it possible we're struggling with balancing being true to our self while being aware of others?
The answer is both. As human beings, it kills us not to be able to assist others. We have a tremendous capacity to give and love others; the difficulty lies in being able to balance it with honoring ourselves. As we experience these imbalances, we feel as if a part of us is dying; therefore, trying even harder to reawaken our heart in order to live from inspiration. Unfortunately, those suffering in one way or another can and will affect our balance and harmony throwing us off course from time to time, only adding to the cycle of frustration. The challenge then becomes NOT to walk into that dangerous neighborhood otherwise known as the mind, alone! Once this happens, we are easily drawn into the nothingness, believing that life sucks and all it's good for is a means to an end …. sounds depressing AND the reason so many people are banking on revealing the road to happiness and bliss to all.
