Depth

So many topics force us to look at ourselves through a magnifying glass. It is so easy to see our failures, sore spots, lack lustre life, dependencies. If you try, you will see more. You are definitely more than these things! No one should rob you of your self worth, including yourself. It is different for everyone. Do you get your value from your job, relationships, body image? Is your view distorted, damaged, skewed?

We are only human, and we can settle into our roles in life. We can live in that role and feel no fault. You can be on top of your game and on track. It is the hurdles and divisions in the path that set people back. For some of us one step at a time is survival. Don’t become too hyper focused on the steps, you could look up and be in a totally different setting, even lost in this neck of the woods. The best navigators need a compass, map or guide. In survivalists shows, there is still a camera man. True survivalists go it alone until they can’t. “I just want to live on an island alone, with no internet and no people.” You hear that type of thing all the time. Forever?

You need to navigate the world and the people. I could go to that island for a week once a month, but even being so far back in the woods, you still gotta come out to hunt. If you still haven’t learned to walk away from toxicity in your life, if you are still uncomfortable saying no, start there. “ I am so tired of all the negative people.” Change your people, select things and environments that make you happy. I love libraries, old buildings, bridges, history, and nature. I don’t watch the news or science fi, I have no interest in going to Alaska, or sitting on an island alone forever. Live and be happy.
