A road traveled alone

I have heard that the greatest sermon you can ever preach is the one to yourself. It is easy to analyze a game you are watching than playing in the same game and try to analyze it. You can only give an opinion on how you feel about the current game. Loving yourself builds a love for everyone without expecting to be loved back by most. You learn to understand yourself when you go alone. Pouring your life you don’t have and no idea what it is to live is just causing problems around. You don’t need a partner(s) to begin life but you will need everyone’s hand when you have discovered what it means to live to you. How you are going to help others get to where they want to be. Our only source of fulfillment relies on how we get along with others.

I have been single for sometime and not that I never wanted to get married young to raise children, build future with my life partner. The thing is for some time I had to raise my siblings and look after my mother after my father passed on when I was just about to finish college. It is not so cool when you want to settle if there is anything like that and you are bombarded with multiple responsibilities. I had to go solo in everything that has taught me a lesson that only when you have taken a road trip of life alone you feel some sort of fulfillment. Getting out of struggles as big as looking after your family while studying is a big game to me. It is as hard as trying to dig a hole with a needle and lose money like pouring water into the sand. The triumphant moments is when you get up and out of every situation. Going on to face your Goliaths every day is hard. Once you win one at least you feel so encouraged. That can always come when you always take stock to be on your own and ask for help if need be. I believe too when you are getting into a lifetime commitment one ought to be living a little bit of solitary life prior to that move. Beauty pageants go on stage as a group and during the competition, they are judged individually. Soccer players play as a team one guy scores the first goal. This comes after all the passes from the team and he gets awarded for being the goal scorer. The team wins. I believe also all the mental work starts before the game during practice and when each player has his own session of introspection. The outcome is indeed corporate but one thinks on his own.

Love yourself first and you will have enough to share. You will always have something to give if you do have time on yourself to be filled with you. What is it that you want? If you can answer those self-evaluation questions, you are a great somebody. “Love your neighbor as yourself”, you might have read that in the Bible. It all starts with loving yourself first. That gives you a clear indication of how it feels to love and be loved. Do life stock take by going solo once… Solitary life.
