Addressing Your Inner Turmoil

 “The more you analyze yourself, the more you are able to put things in perspective. Then you can address your inner turmoil.”

Sometimes we all have those moments in our life where we all feel alone and miserable. We keep thinking about it and feel sorry for being in that situation. But less do we know that we have the solution to it.  You know what it is? To thrive and do our best to get out of that darkness. 

Usually, we do thrive and try our best to see the light but can’t, and you know why is that so? Because that time, we need a hand to hold ours, and to lead and guide us out. Here, we don’t think much about whose hand we are holding. Is it someone who is actually our companion? Or someone who wants to throw us more deep into that dark place? 

Many times, one hears of how some successful person achieved all his\her goals and all with the support and love of their best friend or muse. The thing we do not realize is, why can’t we be our own muse, and our own best friend? Why are we so scared to be by ourselves and to be our own support system? Now, just ponder this thing, how can we learn to love and support others if we do not know how to adore and appreciate ourselves? 

This world is loaded with people wearing layers of masks, acting to be nice and being our best companions, but if we think about having a friend who is just and honest to us, it is no one but us, our-self. Just think about it for a moment; who knows your secrets the most? It’s YOU! Who knows your likes and dislikes the most? It’s YOU! Who is honest, loyal, and just with you? IT IS YOU and no one else. 

In addition, we need to be our own therapist to learn how to survive through the darkest times in our life. This enables us to explore our issues and to analyze our problems. The more we analyze ourselves, the more we are able to put things in perspective. Then we can address our inner turmoil and take steps to resolve our problems, without letting our enemies know what we are going through.

To sum up, all we need is to learn to love and appreciate ourselves. We need to pin this in our minds that we don’t need others to help us to achieve our goals, because every person who acts to be our friend is not actually our friend. So, “we have to learn to be our own best friends, because we fall too easily into the trap of bring our own worst enemies”.
