Far too often we look to others for needs
that we should be filling ourselves.
Searching within we can usually find all
that we need to survive and be happy.
Why then do we look for so much from others?
Perhaps it is that we feel too insecure with ourselves
to truly believe what our convictions, thoughts and dreams
provide for us.
Many successful people will tell you if
you can dream it, believe it, and work toward it…
you can attain it.
I believe that is true as well.
We all hold an inner force that drives us to our aspirations…
that forces us to go beyond where we may normally not go.
It is in those times that we are truly able to move
forward with our lives and reach our objectives.
Quite often those forces are driven by emotions,
when we are at our lowest or even our highest levels,
however, balance is the key to satisfaction and
accomplishments.
Searching outside ourselves for strength, hope,
happiness, peace, harmony, discovery, exploration,
answers, and even love will not provide us with what
we ourselves really need.
We will be drawing on someone else's balance and not
something that necessarily fits us.
Sometimes we take chances, risks that we determine are
worth the cost…and every risk has its price.
When we take those risks based on a combination of reason
and emotion, and weigh the consequences of those risks…
and yes there are always consequences…
it is then we might be able to find harmony within ourselves.
Our objective in life should not be to seek someone
who will complete us, because that is not possible.
Only we can do that for ourselves.
Others can only enhance that which we already are.
There are truths within us that we each have to look at,
examine and learn from. Those are the things that make up
our lives, help us to become who and what we are,
how we think, and what roads we take in times of struggle
and discomfort.
They are the roads, the paths, the way we become all that we
end up to be. Our journey is limited, but our ability to
reach beyond what is directly in front of us is something
only we can do, when we are ready.
When we are able to grasp the knowledge that we have
accumulated in our lives, experience it, learn from it,
and use it…we will find contentment and peace within ourselves.
Anything more is bounty.
