Hello all. I would
like to thank you for joining me in my adventure. My meaning is that this post represents the
first day of the real rest of my life. I
have spent much of my life searching for something. What that something is still remains to be uncovered. However, at least at this moment and time I can say that I have a
direction. I know that I have a purpose and that purpose includes assisting others. I want to help wherever I can. I have a lot of life experience, I have spent a lot of time watching and observing behaviors in others and I have always had a way with words. I am very passionate about helping others by way of inspiration, motivation, and by providing good solid honest advise or simply helping in the ability to navigate through ones problems.
There are many things that help to formulate who we are as
individuals, our views of others and the world for which we live. Some of the things that come to mind for me
would be family (immediate and extended), our backgrounds, education, jobs, and
things of the like. What makes us
believe in our own personal views, our fears, and perceptions of all things
that exist in the world and beyond? Would
not one of the most logical explanations be our parents, our teachings, and
possibly our experiences? This blog marks
the beginning of my noted journey of healing for oneself and the sharing of my dreams, life reservations,
and personal experiences while also helping those who need it to work on life fulfillment and daily challenges.
Why do we often attempt to hide or minimize
the very things that are often most obvious?
We try to hide our fears, we try to hide our failures, insecurities and
feelings of inadequacies yet often to no avail. Who I am, I often ask myself and when I look at the person
in the mirror I often do not recognize the person that is looking back at me. My meaning is that I have allowed life’s
pressures to take away from me that which belongs solely to me and that is my
identity--my true identity. I allowed depression to rob me
of the pleasures of and in life. I
allowed my fears to wrap a protective coat around me. I have allowed family obligation to take from
me my dreams and aspirations, yet today I feel more in control of my life today then I every have, but I am not quite there yet. I will go further in depth with the previously mentioned in future postings. This journey will help others because I recognize many of my own personal issues and challenges as a common themes with others as well. I spend a lot of my time listening to other people experiences and counseling others (personally and professionally) and I understand that by helping myself and sharing my knowledge and experience that there are many people that can be provided assistance. In addition, much of my life has been spend observing behavioral patterns and being a problem solver.
So you might be wondering what this blog will be
about? This blog will be about getting
over and/or effectively dealing with depression. We will talk about dealing with daily
life stressors more effectively. In
addition, we will talk about just about everything that is and can be a hurdle
in life. The purpose of this blog is to
let others know that they are not in it alone and when we as humans recognize
that there are others dealing with the same old stuff it often help us to get
over those issues that seem impossible to get past. Please do not have an expectation for
perfection because there will be typos. Thanks for listening...
