No One Is Coming To Save You: EXCEPT...

" No one is coming to save you!" I think this sends the wrong message. Of course it's good to be self-empowered and (somewhat) independent, but it shouldn't mean doing it all ourselves. It's okay to need other people. But there is shaming when we say we're not self-sufficient. As Brené Brown says, we are hard-wired for connection, for belonging, and for community. It's okay to be empowered, but that doesn't mean we should do it all on our own. The are feminine and masculine energies in the world, and we should not think we're supposed to embody them all.

"It's okay to long for support, for a partner, for help." yes it is. Yet as you say, there is a lot shame being thrown around that idea.

When we believe w have to do it all on ourselves, we are kept in a state of survival and feelings of inadequacy.

I love how you articulated the quid pro quo and reciprocity

Our society insists that we should expect results NOW, in everything we endeavor to do. So if we give with one hand, we think the other should receive in the same transaction. We are thought to forget about the bigger picture. And we must remind ourselves to connect with the pace of our soul.

Yes! I SO agree! We are NOT meant to do it all ourselves.

Right? At the risk of upsetting people, we are not supposed to aspire to be completely independent.

I also feel it’s hard to maintain your self esteem when you are alone for a long time and never ever receive any positive feedback from others. I understand you have to believe in your own self worth, but loneliness can chisel away at it. As the saying goes, “no man is an island.”

Yup! Not meant to live alone on an island. (If one does, they invent friends named Wilson 😉)

Just found you a few days ago. Yay! Your content so resonates with me. I find your take on "popular" topics quite refreshing. I like that you see things through a different lens than what seems to be repeated and repeated by so many others. It all just starts to sound like an advertisement. I also often perceive things differently than how it is often presented, as if we are all the same. I agree we are all unique and should always be okay with that, and treated with respect and understanding for being true to who we really are, on a deep, and pure level. Thank-you. Love what you said about our feminine energy.

Hi Doris! So glad you're here. 🤗 We need each other to strengthen each other in our knowing that we are okay as we are. I like what you said, that a lot of what we hear is starting to sound like a repeated advertisement. So true. But, we also have to keep in mind that each of those teachers bring awareness to some people. As people who see things differently, we just know what we can't align with anymore. (suggestion: listen to "You Think Too Much")
