Being all in one (alone) is never good for anyone. Life is about memories, about relationships, about living, about loving. You just might be doing yourself a great disservice if you set out to face life on your own.
It’s hard to notice when the world around you is ebbing away. It creeps in slowly because work, worries and hell are all fighting for space in your head.
In the midnight times when your worries and doubts have left you bone dry, you get blown out. You look around for help and realise help was long gone. How did you get yourself into this mess?
It is rather easy to tell. You let the work and worries suffocate the energy and vibrancy of your cherished friendships. Your friendships took the best possible route and chose to have some fresh air...elsewhere. Your worries never allowed you to have peace within or even take notice of help sources.
Life was never designed for you to tread its paths on your own. At every point, life designed ‘help meets’ to carry you along. The experiences of people (in books and testimonials), advice and counsels are those help meets. And you will do a lot better being in their midst.
Trust me; life on one’s own is a lonely one. Try it and you will fail at all attempts. You will need some measure of hope, and some strength and some courage and some love. And those are the reasons you don’t need to face the world on your own.
Really, you can’t provide all these by yourself, for yourself. Get rid of the haughty feelings and ‘I-can-handle-it-by-myself’ air. If you will have any push to go on in this life, you will need to lock arms with the next brother, sister, friend, colleague, classmate, and partner. If you truly have aspirations and desire fulfilment, then you need to drop the ‘I-can-pay-the-bills-all-by-myself’ mantra. You will need help along the way. Help will be needed in plenty doses especially at those times when you don’t deserve it.
See the need in your life. Don’t deny it. You'll need somebody to pick you up, brush you off and bring you back every time you fall. Will you ever fall? Yes, many times.
Don’t allow anxiety blind you or get lost in emotions. Do yourself a favour, open up your heart. Don’t face the world alone.
