Ever been around those folks that seem to have it all together? I seem to attract that crowd. I never seem to have anything together but everyone around me has EVERYTHING together. I guess it's good that I am around; it allows others to know how together they are.
If the truth be known, however, everyone has the same challenges, the same difficulties, the same problems. Those who seem to have it all together still have their own fears, their own insecurities, their own struggles. While we may not often see others' challenges, I promise you, they are there.
Today's word is a quote from H. Jackson Brown, Jr., which says, "Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something."
Life holds challenges for all of us no matter how together we may think we have it. Even folks with tons of money still have their own struggles with things. There are folks that are surrounded by others all the time that are still lonely. There are even others that have so much to be thankful for that struggle with depression on a regular basis. Everyone is coping with something.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't intend for this to be a downer. No, we are all going through something but we are going through this together. We need to realize that we are here to assist one another, to aid one another, to comfort and support one another. Yeah, that is what we need to realize - we are in this together.
Hey, look, I know you seem to have it all together. I know I seem to have nothing together. But, we both also know that we can do more together. Next time you need to feel good about your togetherness, don't compare yourself with someone struggling, help them, and we can all be stronger together.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
