I'D RATHER..

I'd rather be a blessing
than a carrier of bad tidings

I'd rather take a great leap in faith
than to sit around and wait

I'd rather be the echoes of goodwill
than be the air of discontent and standing still

I'd rather be a whisper of hope for all to hear
than to be constantly living in fear

I'd rather be the one who catch you when you fall
than to have seen you fall and not be of help to you at all

I'd rather be the one who stands up every time I fall
than be the person hiding behind a wall afraid to fall

I'd rather be the joy that makes you smile
than the pain that lingers for a while

I'd rather be the comforting words of hope
to help others try and cope

I'd rather be the voice of reasoning
than be the voice of discouragement

I'd rather be the lasting aura of positivity
than the evil forces of negativity

IN MY SOLITUDE, I FOUND PEACE...and I found ME

The chance to be alone, to refuel is very important. There are those who can't do without another as they are their inspiration, their reason for living etc.

We all compliment each other in some form or another but Solitude is indeed blissful to me at this moment.

I have heard many people said that they need quality time away from situations, partners or people which and who are clouting them to think straight. What I have realized is that most people fail to realize that in relationships and marriages, that though 'two becomes one' they still also 'carry different personalities singularly.

I believe some people take possessions of each others personality and fuse them together as though you can now become like the other in every way and possible way of thinking, you are molding someone to your liking, they are surrendering their personality and their thinking so that it doesn't clash with yours.

Have you seen how some people have changed when they are in relationships, all the while they are not happy with what they have become, they have become the replica of the other. Not saying you can't compromise, but we are all unique and possess different personalities.

When someone requires their quality time, it doesn't necessarily means that you are cramping their space, but in reality they live and breathe you and need a little 'air 'to breathe and exhale. You leave and go to work where there are more people, probably with negative vibes and most likely will come back home to negative vibes also, yes one may needs to do things together as a team but what about you being stagnated with your energies. It's not a selfish feeling but it's necessary sometimes to be re-energized especially if you are overwhelmed with surmounting negativity that may shoot at you daily.

Sometime ago, I remembered telling a friend of mine that I needed some quality time to myself, and his response was, 'but I told you anytime you need to ,'we can'; the quality time belongs to me, not sharing with anyone. Where does 'we' fit in? I didn't say I needed ''we' time.

I needed to relax and re-fuel, not giving my energies to anyone; call it, 'selfish quality time and quality meditative time', not in the presence of anyone but in finding myself so I can give a better vibe to others, whether it's to my family and friends or ordinary folks. Can anyone feel me here?

You need to spend some time alone to find yourself, to find that peace within you so that you can reach out to others in a meaningful way. If your mind is cluttered you will feel confused.

Don't you notice what a walk along the river or near the sea or simply spending that alone time in the garden, feeling and being in one with nature in its purest and gentlest form does for your spirit,? it's blissful and heavenly. Very refreshing.

I have found that, and being alone for the period of time in my singleness, There's no one to cloud my mind, hence my thoughts are free flowing.

Infact, my journey here and my inspiration is felt since I became single, funny but true, all my inspiration inside of me has been exposed and revealed since being single. Could it be that it's been stifled all the time? I never wrote so free flowing before like I am doing now as I am writing exactly how it flows, my talents are more distinct and pronounce, we must let our spirit flow and find our purpose in life.

I believe it was always there dormant but had to be unleashed until the given time, never before its time but on time.

Solitude has found me and I am indeed happy right now, as I have found my purpose in my solitude and feel fulfilled. Do you get up everyday and feel driven and energized to do things positively that make you feel happy about doing it? It may be your purpose.

Every experience taught me a lesson and everyone I encountered before on my way to finding my purpose. Every one you meet on life's journey is purposeful and is significant.

Never be annoyed, discontented with some of the paths we encountered in life, search yourself and you'll see, it was for a purpose, a good purpose and I am enjoying it all the way.

Don't be afraid, I won't remain single, I'm letting God take me and mold me and in His perfect timing, He'll send him into my life, someone who can compliment what His purpose for me here on earth is. In the meantime I'm on a mission with a purpose.

I went through all this for a reason, now at this stage in my life, it has revealed itself to me, this is my purpose, this is my journey. And the truth is, I found it in my solitude and in my empty space I found peace. The peace within can reveal your true meaning and purpose.

Have you found your purpose? Find your solitude. Seek inner peace; your inner guide. Be still and you'll find it. Happy journeying.

Hugs
