That being said, I am not sure where the notion has come from that we need saving. What if we're all on our own paths meandering along on our own journeys? No one else knows what's right for us except for us. No one really knows how we are feeling except for us. No one can really appreciate the full extent of what we experience except for us. The only way we have of communicating how we really feel is through the words we choose to language our world. withAnd the words we choose to use to language our world depend on the filters that we've used to form our piece of reality.
Confusing right? Yep. It most definitely is. We are all walking around in our own little made-up worlds, telling ourselves the stories we choose to tell ourselves and interpreting our experiences based on what we've experienced before. Each of us has our own version of reality. What freaks me out may completely excite you and vice versa.
With this knowledge then, we must use it to our advantage to realise that no one needs to be rescued. No one needs to be saved. We need to take care of ourselves first and foremost. This may be a difficult pill for some to swallow. However how good are you going to be when you are tired, run-down, emotionally exhausted? Yes it sounds selfish to take care of ourselves because it's the complete opposite of what society tells us. When I say take care of ourselves I don't mean that you completely forget that there are other humans in existence and this does not replace common courtesy. Simply it means fit your own oxygen mask first before helping others.
Ensure that you are taking care of self first and foremost. Only when we take care of ourselves properly are we of any use to anyone else. Only when we take care of ourselves are we able to help others. Only then are we completely ready and able to achieve our victories in this lifetime.
