WELCOME TO THE WINNER CIRCLE FOR AUGUST 2009
(Because we all are winners)
Hello loyal monthly readers, Zune networkers and friends. The subject for this month is loneliness.
Loneliness is something most of us dread, but even loneliness has its positive aspects.
Loneliness can be painful, but, as with other things, it is your
attitude toward loneliness that counts. You can take a negative
attitude, in which case you may either run from being alone like the plague or wallow in it, immersed in self-pity.
You can also take a positive attitude, recognizing it as an essential experience of every human being and using it creatively as a resource for knowing the self, and discovering your center and focus in life.
It is only when we can stand alone, when we can admit our separateness, that we can make full use of our individual resources to set about finding our meaningful connections with others.
You see, when the love and understanding with which we reach out to others is based upon a true sense of the self that we have discovered in confrontation with our loneliness, then it is based on reality instead of on false expectations.
You alone can change yourself. You alone can make a decision for growth. You alone are the central point of reference in your life.
Knowing these things can be a lonely experience, but out of it can come a greater strength and confidence in your ability to meet life and provide inner security that fear cannot destroy.
