Puzzling creatures

We all know, but we all have to be reminded. 

I suppose it is like those self help books, they are telling us what we know from right and wrong-there is a particular path we know we have to chose, to follow. I think we on the one hand, are unfortunate beings. We only learn from experience. We only learn until it is too late. But without that, it wouldn't really be life. Which makes it the most beautiful part...

When I hear from friends, family, about their troubles and their day. I sense their frustration. I of course like most human beings want to say, it will all be ok. But that can be quite patronising, as we never know what will happen to us. One can only empathise with what they are going through. I always say, when reaching an ultimate low, as strange as it may seem to say this, in a way-the low can be a good thing. Once you find yourself feeling small, things can only get bigger-you can only get bigger, and grow. Certainly, there are factors which can bring one to feeling a bit lower, but we could look at everything with that respect. We could always say, this is amazing, oh but if this were here or if I had that-it would be even more perfect. And the same goes for feeling so awful, we know there are always external factors to make the matter worse. Nonetheless. The low is also a gift. Without this low, there would be no groundwork, no foundation to source the high. Everything we do builds from one thing to another. How else would all the wonders of the world exist. We all have developed from ideas, thoughts, progress. The same goes for when you feel most trapped by yourself. On one level it is a cage, but on the other it only represents a great butterfly about to feel the sky.

Like I say, unfortunately we are beings who learn all of this when it is too late. Well maybe not when it is too late, but perhaps after the experience, and when we know already. You could say it is when we have had a breakthrough and can clearly decide and see what needs to be done to make matters right again. And to have recognised our process. We need to find ourselves. We owe it to ourselves to give one time and patience (one of the most hardest things perhaps). It would seem life is one big chase for happiness. Everyone differs to how much we feel that strong sense of happiness everyday. We are fluctuating creatures. I think we find that level of happiness when we have found a great deal of ourselves. I don't think it is impossible to carry on without knowing who we really are-how would we represent. I have always hated having to write about myself, and now I can see why. It becomes hard, because most of the time we aren't sure who we really are. What are we really doing with ourselves? Perhaps it is why many people make lists. Self-assurance. To regulate where we are all coming from. 

It brings the idea to mind that, yes we are all people, we thrive from interacting with others. Our own development is encouraged by bouncing off from other people, be it people you get on well with or don't. It is the people in our lives that give indications to which direction we wish to go. It all plays with their involvement, unless we decide to take ourselves away, to cut ourselves off and form something else for the individual because all that links to everything existing at the moment, is too overwhelming to bear for any given emotional reason-most of which I believe to be linked with fear... For some, yes, people do get into situations where they can't quite seem to see any way in which they could get out of, to increase their own happiness-without hurting others. But all in all, I don't think things can always be seen so solid and in doom. The world for doesn't always have to feel so trapped. A past time comes to mind when you interact with your parents, at any given age. Sometimes they can provide the gift of reassurance when something you feel isn't quite right. They manage to, in their own words tell you, all is going to be ok. Of course, only later when the matter is resolved you entrust your faith even more in the parent and see they were right all along. Though it took for one to experience by themselves to believe the facts in their faith. 

A great amazement of all is when you look at someone, and they seem to know you so well. Sometimes they seem to know you more than you know yourself. They spit out what you are thinking, what you are feeling without being able to put your finger on it yourself. When you have a problem, someone else almost always has the answer-so why can't we figure it out by ourselves? I remind myself of my 'part 3' theory I have recently blogged about. That part 3 is always being discovered. We can't always look in the mirror and find it by ourselves. The only way to grab hold of it, is to get out there and experience. Whether the experience is trying something new, going to a different location for a while, hanging out with those you know, those you don't know or simply spending time with yourself. Most of the time we are adapting to our own bodies and mind. I think we know the answers really of what is next to come-sometimes we have to piece things together and almost work through the experience of going through the motions, our emotions. We are all puzzles, we piece our moments together and make a clearer picture. Lets call it, being aware. The following will sound like a riddle, so please bear with me.

To seize what we know, and reflect what we 'already' know then all the more can we achieve.
