Loneliness

For most people a life of loneliness is a reality that they live with day to day.Loneliness does not necessarily mean that you don't have anyone around you.It is when you have no connection to anyone.No emotional attachment.No one to really talk to and express your inner self without fear of dire consequences.Some people are surrounded by family and friends and yet still feel lonely.It is because the relationships forged are superficial and not rooted in trust,honesty and loyalty.

Often people attach themselves to one another because of a need.Most needs are not genuine and only profit one party involve.There is no meaning relationship formed when this occurs.

The first step that I believe one should take in combating loneliness is first transforming loneliness into" aloneliness". Time alone is spent valuable, when we analyze who we are.Our needs,wants,hopes and fears.Understanding ourselves before we expect others to understand us.Know thyself!

Then take self inventory.What we need to enforce within ourselves and what we need to get rid of.All of us know our good and bad habits,no one is perfect.But we should always make a conscious effort to allow the more positive aspects of ourself to outshine the negative.

Knowing that there is a power greater than you is another step.Your relationship with God ( or whatever you believe in) connects us to something larger than ourselves.If we have this knowledge then we realize that we are not alone.We are the sum of many parts.

Finally conquering your fear.Fear is a constant thing and is there whether we want it or not.You just cannot let it limit the way you live your life.Fear of rejection is why some of us do not connect to others.Overcome that with the realization that everyone won't like your company and some will.The most important thing is that "you" like your company.Self confidence attracts.Not a narcissistic attitude but one where you project yourself as being comfortable with who you are.

Above all enjoy life, each and every moment.You never get back the past so live for the present!
