Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

“No Man is an Island.” John Donne wrote that in 1624. Somehow our society has forgotten that we were never meant to do it alone. We’ve been taught that being strong means being independent and not needing help. The truth is that being strong means knowing when you need help and having the strength and courage to be vulnerable and to ask for help. It is not a sign of strength when the preferred treatment for fear is medication rather than healing. Facing ourselves is a sign of strength. Facing who we truly are and what we truly want in life is a huge risk when it goes against what our families, friends, colleagues and society believe is best for us. The fear of losing their conditional love can overwhelm us and cause us to stay stuck in situations that we don’t have the skills or knowledge to change. We do so at what cost to our self-esteem and our soul? Join us Thursday to learn how important it is to receive the right kind of support.
