Why do we need other people?

We’re not meant to walk this journey alone, to be separate, to be always with ourselves and never be with others.

As humans we need the energy of other human souls, we need to be connected with their energy.

It does not mean that we have to be constantly surrounded by people, however, long periods of time without interaction is as bad as being always with people.

Like everything in life, it is a balance and there is the Yin and Yang to all things.

When we simply be with others, without any agenda, without seeking something, simply being in their presence and listening to them and learning from them, sharing stories, making each other laugh, bringing joy to one another, then we not only enrich ourselves but others too. We create something even better.

The more we find what brings us together and what we have in common, rather than what we believe in our minds will separate us, the more we create a stronger connection among us all and the more we grow in a positive way as humans.

Find other souls and enrich them and ourselves…don’t be always alone.

We can’t give to others what we don’t give to ourselves

We can’t give to others what we don’t give to ourselves.

If we don’t love ourselves we can’t love others. If we are not kind to ourselves we can’t give it to others. If we have no compassion for ourselves then we can’t be compassionate with others. If we do not show ourselves empathy and understanding then we will not see and understand others.

Understanding is a powerful thing that we all seek and yet we do not start with ourselves. We do not take the time to own or be accountable for our journeys. When we own them we can learn and write a different story. We can then seek to understand others too. All to often we fill in the gaps with ourselves and make up stories and we do e we it’s others too.

Equally, what we give to ourselves, we give to others. If we are angry, fearful, unkind, harsh, judging, shaming, and so on, of ourselves then we will treat others the same. If we are kind, compassionate, loving and understanding with ourselves we will be with others.

Inner peace comes from treating ourselves kindly and outer peace follows.

It all starts with us. The world is what we create from our inner state.
