The Search For Enlightenment

If you are anything like me, you sometimes go into your shell and just mull things over in your head.

That can be a very powerful way to get things straight in your mind, but it can also allow you to come to the wrong conclusion. It has to be tempered with conversation.

I’m very lucky, I have a wonderful family and a loving partner who keep an eye on me. Usually that is more than enough, but not always. I can talk to my Mom about anything and my Better Half is a great listener, but there are things they can’t understand and there are situations I would rather not worry them with.

That’s where mates come in.

Now blokes don’t open up to other blokes about personal issue too often. I can be seen as soft, and a bit girlie (sorry girls), so you have to choose very carefully.

Again I am in a fortunate position. There’s a chap at work who shares his problems with me, and I listen, then when the boot is on the other foot, the roles are reversed.

Talking things through with someone who listens, is very therapeutic. If you get the chance to open your heart and mind to someone, you should try it. It really takes the weight off your shoulders and also puts things into perspective.
