Dont STFU!

If there is one thing that is certain in our day and age is the path to success will be likely more so than possible. It seems to get harder and harder with every generation. As many know there are forces working against us, there are also internal demons that we face every day. As we go through life our journey seems to attract obstacles, but when we add those demons, the molehill has the illusion of a mountain.

Once the mountain is in front of us, we enjoy the silence. Of course, we explode, implode, or even just become a static entity. Our explosions don’t reflect what we are dealing with; our implosions never approach a resolution. When many of us get to the point that we just can’t find closure, can’t achieve a resolution, or worse can’t get “one thing right” we look for the “fix”. The shrink, the pastor, Oprah, we seek any quick microwavable fixes we can find. Isn’t the world in general a prime example of most of our lives that we just would rather have emotional outburst than have emotional rescue? Rescuing requires the demand for help. We are great, perfect, and damn the person that says otherwise. We don’t need help that goes beyond a cool pill that has a great commercial or a 60 minute talk show that we can “connect to”. Our immaturity has no bounds, while our walls are getting taller and wider. We seem to only want to communicate when we want something or need to let out just enough to make it through the day. It’s no wonder that we are socially, financially, emotionally, psychologically, and politically deficient because of our fear of communicating our own comprehensive psychosis.

I have a suggestion…try a little talking…try a little listening…try a little tenderness…try a lot less outbursts of judgment, assumptions, and preconceived notions that we just can’t let go of.

If we, in our moments alone feel lost, how are we so certain of life when we have someone in front of our face?

Now, I think that we just don’t talk enough. We seek boundaries and walls to escape communication. It’s as if we just know beyond a shadow of a doubt that a question equates a challenge and a statement equates a judgment. How can you talk if the only time you listen is when you hear the voices in your head? If you want a better life cant changing one way of living a good start to do so? Staying stagnant won’t cure the ills. Maintaining the status quo won’t cause emotional growth. At what point is there a better life the only option? Rock bottom shouldn’t be the only destination that offers dropping the walls as a crossroad. How soon can now be if it helps you, helps you achieve your goals, and offers healing? So many of us want to be healthy, but can’t quit smoking, cant workout, can get off the proverbial couch. As in our physical, it is the same in our psychological and emotional.

Only when we get off the wall, get in the game completely and sincerely, can we attain health.
