Give everyone a hug, and one for yourself too

Where does it all stem from?

It's a good question I ask myself everyday about anyone (including myself) and their reaction to things. The picture represents a playing field with different shaped obstacles to avoid. But should we really be avoiding them or just embracing them instead?

Everything always leads to a source, the breakdown to find that source as difficult as that may be should equate to a pleasurable outcome. It opens doors to tap into emotions and to treat our surrounding environment in a new way, which in effect reaches new elements of happiness.

The battle to emotionally survive can seem like a wise move. Of course It's always a hindrance to feel sad, to feel annoyed, angry, rejected, scared, vulnerable, embarrassed (and many other 'negative' feelings'... But once the doors to those emotions have opened, it only prepares you for a wider range of being with how you feel-those of which bring a more positive effect to your life.

Happiness. Warmth. Love. Affection. Excitement. Passion. Desire.

The desire to share with others around you, but really share and express who you are. Do not be afraid, I would say that once these potential guards are down, you can surprise yourself in how you treat other people. How you enjoy your time together more, not in the sense that you never did before, I would say it makes you appreciate that time much more so.

Everyday you will feel luckier and more blessed that you have such a great take on life. And others will recognise your healthy attitude too. It will flow into them and produce a great positive effect to their day as well. People like to know where they stand. Lets try not to push them over with our own unbalance of being. I suppose it's putting yourself out there with no fear in being exposed.

Is there really a negative in being exposed though? We should sense no threat in how people react to us, let us be and skip in a flourish of living. Acceptance is always desired, but if there is a case where we don't become embraced, ask yourself whether you wish for them to be a part of your life too? Sometimes we just don't click with others. For one to judge us and hold it against us is only because it challenges and confuses what they already know... If you were to die tomorrow, you just wouldn't care.

Breathe, exhale and laugh. And give those around you a hug, because all we want to know really, is that all will be OK.
