You can delude yourself into almost anything.

But the problem with delusion is you end up living in a world of fantasy.

Sure delusion may be good to venture into from time to time, especially if you’re a creative type,

But living there is another matter altogether.

Because there is the nature of reality.

An objective view of the world that has hidden elements of truth.

Those things that are embedded deep within you and around you, that remain undeniable and unchanging.

Sure, you can continue deluding yourself forever, convincing yourself whatever you like.

That you’re somehow invincible and are going to live forever,

But that’s just ego getting in the way.

Despite all your efforts to the contrary, reality has this way of sticking around and always coming back to bite you.

You can deny it, try and ignore it, but it’s always there.

You can try and run from it, but there’s nowhere to hide.

And it’s in this realm of reality that real life is lived.

And not facing up to the realities of your life, means avoiding life itself.

Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.
  • Leaving It All Behind
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
