The Meaning Of Being Lonely

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Loneliness is not you. You are not lonely. You are reconnecting with your yourself. You are becoming a better you.

You are reflecting on things that you could have done differently. You are redefining yourself.

You are not willing to go back to where you were yesterday. You are moving foward. You are cleaning up your dirty mind. You are simplifying your life.

You are healing your life. You are healing your wound. You are forgiving people who have done things to you.

Just because you are not with people, just because you are alone, it has nothing to do with how you are feeling right now. BUT

it has everything to do with what you want for YOU. It has everything to do with where you want to go. It has everything to do with your inner self, your best self. It has everything to do with your relationships with others.

When you are alone, you are not lonely. You are spending quality time with yourself. Being alone is not being lonely. It is being alive. It is being comfortable with yourself.

Be comfortable with yourself, no matter what is going on in your life. Because if you are not okay with yourself, you will find it hard to be okay with other people.

Everything around you is an opportunity 
to learn more about yourself, 
to learn more about the people around you, 
and to learn more about the world.
Whatever you do, learn from it.
Wherever you are, learn from it. 
Because everything is a learning opportunity.
Take it. Do not let it go.

We grow when we learn. We don't grow when we don't learn.
If you really care about life lessons, you can start right 
with these ones from Sam Harris, a philosopher and neuroscientist

"Honesty is a gift we can give to others."
"Honesty is a gift we can give to others. 
It is also a source of power and an engine of simplicity.
Knowing that we will attempt to tell the truth, 
whatever the circumstances, 
leaves us with little to prepare for. 
We can simply be ourselves."

"Your life doesn't get any better than your mind is:
"Your life doesn't get any better than your mind is:
You might have wonderful friends, perfect health, 
a great career, and everything else you want, 
and you can still be miserable."

"Do not live your life in the future."
"We manage to never really connect with the present
moment and find fulfillment there because
we are continually hoping to become
happy in the future, and the future never arrives."

"The reality of your life is now."
"However much you feel you may need to plan
for the future, to anticipate it, to mitigate risks,
the reality of your life is now."

No one is perfect. No life is perfect. 
"Many people who experience illness imagine
that everyone else is blissfully getting on 
with life in perfect health- and this illusion 
compounds their suffering."
