Love, CharenLeigh

By now a lot of y’all know me and know my thought process on what I choose to write about each week, or bi-weekly lately (sorry for that school is kickin’ my butt). But for those who do not, I just pray to God every day of the week to give me any type of signs and/or symptoms in my life that I should write about. I pray that he just shows me what needs to be said to the world each week and go from there. That leads me to today.

The more I grow internally and externally I learn things about myself in such a deeper depth. For one, we truly are all so unique to our own selves that trying to portray being someone you are not is the part of you where you’re of not doing your part in the world.

Life is a lot deeper to me than just making money and having a career. I want to change the world.

Some problems are too big to carry on our own. – Grey’s Anatomy

On Facebook the last two weeks I have been observing what overs repost and/or write about for others to see, or to update others on their lives. This is also another way I choose what I should write about. I actually pray that my social media family reads my blogs just to be curious, because we all never know when something may apply to us or show us something that will lead or push our self to the next level. I myself have started following strangers from across the world. I have started responding and openly communicating with others with my similar habits and passions. Some even that I have known for years who have reconnected just to remind me that I am doing my “job” regardless what it looks like to others. This has just pushed me so positively in such trying weeks in my life in the last few months. People read my posts and actually comment and give their perspectives. I have learned lately that people do love to learn from others and better themselves no matter what others may believe or how they act. We all do want better for ourselves.

What we put into our minds will create habits and thoughts that will eventually create our actions and reactions.

My observations, prayers, and addiction to Greys Anatomy quotes pushed me to remind everyone that sometimes we all need some type of help. Whether it is at work to complete a task, with a personal issue you cannot seem to fix, a medical illness that needs a diagnosis for medication, to clasp our necklace before a date, borrow a loan for a car or home, or just a spiritual reminder; we all have problems or issues that are just too large to carry on our own. I do not know a soul in this world who has not needed help at one point or another in their life. The help could have came from family, friends, strangers, kids, husband, wife, coworkers, Jesus, medical staff, etc. but regardless it coud not be done alone. Our pride and our thoughts will trick us into thinking we can all do it alone but we cannot.

If there is anything I have learned throughout my mental health journey and just this last month in general was that I could not of accomplished this one alone. I have spoken to friends. I have asked for advice from my parents. I have prayed heavily. I have researched. And when I do, my life seems to run a lot smoother. When I try to tackle the world alone I seem to always fail. This does not mean I am not strong enough. This does not mean I am not good enough. This does not mean that I cannot complete all things; it means I cannot do it all alone.

God created Eve as a partner to Adam because he knew Adam could not tackle the world alone. God also knew that we would not be able to tackle this world without the help of professions that were created by his people. We could not and would not live this world peacefully without him either. We are all so quick to burn bridges and to cut off communication but we were all here to do a part in this world and he put each other here also as a partner to help tackle the struggles of life.

I said all that to say, broaden your perspective with life, we cannot do this life alone without the help of others. We cannot grow physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually without the help of some other source. Take advantage of what the future has provided for us to help communicate. Talk to others about your positives and your negatives. Encourage others when you can, because we know we all could use a little encouragement on some tough days. Show love as much as you can, but make sure it’s with compassion. Some times we are put in others people’s life to help them without even realizing it, to help them grow and to help us grow. I just want us to do this all together. Push each other as one big team who is fighting different fights in such a crazy world. We are all we really have.
