Open up

I have realized that we, humans, are very friendly and well able to give sound advice whenever someone (a friend) is going through issues. But when we ourselves are faced with a problem of relative magnitude, we are so fast to retreat to our pity-party advises or are quick to seek those who seem to be strong, able or willing to support us. Well, this is perfectly normal and OK, but why do we fail to talk and advice ourselves? Is it because we do not trust us or is our inner voice weak or silenced by external factors?
I have taken time to look into my personal life and i have realized a number of factors.
 First, I need to open up to myself. Yes. In the face of the world, I am and live by their definition. Only in my eyes can I be myself. Only to myself can i remain true. So i need to let my heart and my mind take a single personality to build a character that others see.
Secondly, in times of distress, pain or anger, it is hard to be true to myself. i look at things with emotions, and just like everyone else I look for a stronger shoulder to lean on. If i don't get one when and where I desire, I turn my anger and vengeance to the absence of others. In order to remain strong and true to myself, when my heart is at peace and less tasked, I will take time to build my soul with positive inspirations and advice that it can bank in case of emergency. This way I can survive some dry seasons.
Third, a smile is important and very healthy. No matter what storms are in my life, life is still beautiful and i can show someone that it is just that I choose to see it differently.
Forth, everyone despite there personality is worth a chance. I let the people whom I come across accomplish their purpose in my life by giving them a chance. I hold the key to the doors of my life and the permission to grant access and I know that no one can hurt me unless I give them a chance to. Some are here for a reason, some for a season and others a life time, and when there time is due, I should learn to let go. From my experience in life, the ability to let go is found in a self centered strength that is unique to everyone.
I have considered this blog as an opportunity for me to put down experiences, advises, stories and wishes as my ideas of the worldas one of my happiness factors.
