Reaching out to others is not about so much about teaching as it is about simple support and encouragement... Often times when we are low and in those dark places, it is because we are trapped in our heads arguing with ourself. The mind and the brain argue and tend to convince us that we are bad, that things around us are bad, etc....
Reaching out is not only beneficial for those that you reach out to, but it helps you as well. It is much harder to feel sorry for ourselves in the moments that we are focused on others in need...
Just like the gratitude...I encourage you to try it... Now don't get caught in the stories per se...that can be a challenge, but if you do, look for the patterns that can help dig out of the funk... Have you read mine? Brother, I was as low as you are...I did not actually share it all here, but lets say that what you have shared casts a dark shadow in my memory...
One other thing, I have advised you before...but do try to stay out of the conversations that lead you to view all that is bad in what you are going through...There is no value to this as your mind struggles to accept what it wants...
Dig deep...I see goodness in you...I see strength...I see light...But only you can pull these out and manifest them...You..and only you...control the final belief that your mind must hold onto...
It will not be easy...I am still in the struggle for dominance in my own mind and the committee that debates all of this...But, I know what I want and what I shall accomplish...there is nothing in my surroundings that will stop me...unless, I choose to give up and quit.
I pray for you tonight my friend... Try it... Tonight, give gratitude and reach out to one person in need.... And it is okay if it is for a selfish reason...to help you...but do try it.
“A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances. ”James Allen
