Finding Someone To Lean On

In today's society, we are taught to stand tall and be independent. To work hard to get what we want. To be strong and persevere in life. But there is a time when we feel vulnerable and alone, wanting to share our struggles with someone. At the end of the day when there is only silence, our thoughts become overwhelming. It is in those moments, that we find comfort leaning on someone who can replenishes our energy and warms our soul. No words are spoken, just a quiet acceptance of who we are. This is the time, where we can let go and just be in the moment. Sometimes in life, we work so hard to become successful, that we forget the child within us is still dependent on others. It is with this in mind that we remember that it's okay to lean on others for their support. We will never be alone on our journey, no matter how much we want to do things ourselves. Our lives are bound to others. Today, think of who you can lean on to help you as you go through your day. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is an opportunity to replenish the spirit within you. By nurturing the softer side of your nature, can bring a better understanding of others.
Can't imagine swimming alone...

(I don't necessarily think that we only need one person to lean on. To have a few close friends who I can count on supporting me is a blessing. Sometimes when the day gets especially difficult, it feels so nice to come home to someone who makes me laugh. Thanks R, Q, S, R)
