Finding Space For Our Place

If the answer we get fails to match with the answer we want do we rejig the question or re-examine our point of view?

Far too much time can be spent attempting to remould the world around us to fit our perceived needs and match our beliefs.

What starts as an external problem can become an internal battle. The result can be either absolute conviction or confusion and doubt. The potential danger is that a loss of faith in what surrounds us can become a loss of faith in ourselves, our ability and our potential.

When what’s needed is for us to be our own best friend we can become our own worst enemy.

Defeatism is not the answer. Concession is not the cure. Compromise can be required.

It’s important, however, to accept that not every battle results in victory and not every argument can be won.

We must seek a place of peace inside our own head just as we must seek a place a happiness inside our own heart. Both those places can be as elusive as we choose to make them.

Change is preceded by an internal dialogue…by us coming to a place of understanding of not only what we believe but why we believe it.

If we are unable to justify ourselves to ourselves we will have a limited chance of justifying ourselves to the rest of the world.

We all have a place. We all have the responsibility of accepting the challenge to find that place.
