A good friend of mine reminded me today about how far I have come over the last 6 years since we met. I quickly reminded her that we have all endured struggles, it is just that mine was more public and drastic than most. After a short discussion, it reminded me that we are all faced with difficult circumstances and decisions everyday, regardless of where we are at in life...Hence the meaning of Life Without Bar's bears even greater meaning and semblance.
There are times when we want to burry our head in the sand and ignore somewhat minor or major problems, this all depends on our attitude that we give this particular problem. I have learned that the reality of it is, that every little decision culminates into a major outcome in our life. We may not always see it that way at the time, but looking back in an honest and thorough perspective, we can see our role or our responsibility in every outcome. Understanding this and being aware of this is crucial in our life. It has a fundamental meaning to our life, weather it be a relationship or how we approach the values and ethics that we live our life by.
No matter what...each and every day will present a situation that we will have to deal with and decide how to handle. We may feel more or less pressure based on the attitude we are in that day or how we feel our life is at that particular moment. It is ironic how even though we may know better, there are times when we just feel in a rut and can't shake out of this horrible mindset or as some would say "stinking thinking"
I believe this is when it is even more important to take quiet time out to meditate and reflect, to allow our brains to stop thinking and just be. In this crazy technology rat race that we live in, we have become addicted to wanting more information and faster responses to everything. Slowing down and taking the sensitivity to the situation being personal goes a long way in being able to view the situation/problem objectively.
This being said, I think that it is also crucial to have some friends or people that you can openly share your thoughts and feelings about this and other issues affecting you. The release that it gives you is priceless and we all know that "stuffing" it will only lead to a future issue that is much greater. Plus, this person of trust and respect may give you one phrase or thought that will lead you into a direction that you had not thought of previously...which could change your life forever.
