Beside Myself

"No one can share our excitement, or rain on our parade, more than our own best friend - Oneself"

Beside Myself!

We've all heard the saying "I was just beside myself", when hearing of sheer excitement or overwhelming senses for a situation having taken place.
We are so bombarded with exterior circumstances, and events, considering our social schedules, work atmospheres, and family functions.

We pretty much know what's going on in everyone's life, around us, as well. The latest news and drama. Chances are we react with quite a bit of empathetic passion and understanding, having endured, ourselves, the many instances, at some point in our lives.

Although we can certainly use our connectivity and empathy to support those in our lives, for what they may be going through, we must understand that lending an ear is far more effective than suggestions, opinions and moreover hard hitting advice, simply because "we have been there."

Every experience that one goes through, one goes through as themselves, their particular past, their unique behaviours and personalities, and most importantly their personal relationships involved.

So be there for your friends, because that is what friends are for.
However, realize that we must each make decisions, ponder possibilities of how we, as individuals, need to evaluate our own circumstances, for growth, on our own, in our own time.

I hope we are all so blessed to have our best friends surrounding us when we need a hand to hold- but remember you are your own best friend, so when you are beside yourself" when something happens in your life, you are exactly where you need to be.
