Too Lonely to be Alone

How many times do you sense or feel like you are walking alone? How many thoughts travel through the senses in your brain that tell you how isolated you are from others around you (even if you are in a room with a dozen people)? Life is not meant to be lived alone, yet our circumstances and emotions tell us we are constantly alone.

Its this game that is played between our heads and our hearts in regards to pure emotion and reality. Our dilemma is choosing which side to be on. The fact is, the more we take the focus of Truth and put it on ourselves, our circumstances, and people around us, the more miserable we become. THAT is when our heart intermingles with emotion and declares check mate.

How can we straggle on daily while feeling like a pair of eyes are constantly watching us, or a shadowing presence that lurks around every corner is about to catch up with us, and not take time to think that there could be 'More Out There'.

I emphasize this in quotations because (and here is the shocker....) we are NOT alone. Ever. Whether the enemy or The Best Friend, we always have someone watching our backs. I think the problem with ourselves and our society, is that we become so distracted with temporary euphoria's of money, sex, success, drugs, food addictions, alcohol, and whatever else we can temporarily place our hands on, that we lose sight of what is deep down in us. The quietness that tells us to Be Still And Know; the eagle that says we can Rise And Not Fall...In recognition of this dilemma, why do we not take the time to stop and act on the silence screaming our names?

Humans are so encompassed in fear. and fear, if manifested, gives birth to death. This death can be emotional death, mental, relational, psychological, spiritual, and even physical death. When motivated by fear, people do everything to avoid dealing with the fear itself. The scapegoat of comfortability sounds safe and protective in a world screaming for challenge...There is SO much that is wrong with this kind of logic.

When we cannot pick ourselves up and walk in success (NOT defined by OUR standards), we are being carried. Problem with letting go of our fear and allowing ourselves to walk as individuals and stop stumbling as infants, is our disbelief.

Walking alone is not bad. Walking lonely is bad. When we are alone, we are never alone. We always have a Protector, a Comforter, a Healer, a Confidant with us when we are alone. our focus of alone-ness is not directed into ourselves, but outwardly and upwardly. When we are lonely, we are focusing on what we are missing and what is wrong with our situations. We take the ability to lean onto the invisible, yet present force, of Safety, Security, Help, and Love to carry us and place ourselves in front of the equation thinking we can handle it.

We have to learn to not let our hearts (which is deceitful above ALL things...who can understand it?) and our emotions, and not trap us in the corner of life with a stamp of defeat. We have periods of times (sometimes more than desirable) where we are alone. We need that assurance that we don't have to fight through life's trials blinded. We also have periods of times when we stumble and become lonely.

Where is our focus going to be directed in any moment of weakness?

Change your perspective, and I guarantee your attitude with change also.

Much Love,
