Needing you

April 13, 2016

uni8

Couple of days ago, I watched a movieย and while it was an awesome comedy which made me laugh a lot, it actually shook me up for a moment and made me think… It made me think about the fact of “needing”. I wondered where does this feeling come from? I have and still see it’s presence in my life. Needing this, that or somebody has always been part of my daily life. How many times do you catch yourself needing something or someone?

True, there is a beautiful comfort in having somebody to share your life with, to lay out your worries and thoughts and not get judged, there is a great feeling of having something, like a good car that you can get around with, a home to have the roof over your head, etc. BUT! How about the daily needs of things and people which we often think that we can’t live without? Then you wake up someday, by your choice or by a “mistake” and realise that you, in fact, can live without so much and still be the happiest person alive.

I can tell you that when I had the most in my life ( materialistically ) and was constantly surrounded by and at the same time needing lots of people, I was the most unhappiest. Cleaning out your closet of unnecessary things which you though that you NEED, cleaning out your life of bad influence and people with the wrong energy, friends or even relatives that you thought you NEEDed to be happy or complete, can bring such a closure and shine a new light in your life.

Sure, it will also bring you to face the mirror and the person, the only person that you truly need to be in touch with – YOUR INNER SELF. If you can look yourself in the mirror for longer than a minute ( not counting you getting ready for a night out and putting your make up on ๐Ÿ˜€ ) tell me how incredible and movig that was for you?! That moment of realisation that you’re special, you’re strong and that when you’re best friends with yourself, you’ll conquer anything and everything… You won’t be needing things and people, because you will see them in a completely different way. You’ll see them as a true gift and enrichment of your life, rather than a discomfortable feeling of “having-not having” and needing!

Everything you need or ever might NEED, you have it all hidden inside of you. The biggest power and all of the beauty are within you. Stop wasting them needing an approval from things or people… Stop needing other people or things to fix up your life and make it special. You need yourself, so let go of the chains and start breathing… Without needing! ๐Ÿ™‚

Happy Wednesday everybody!

    What a great article! You are so right, though… if we haven’t found our inner self first, it is easy to rely on other people a lot while they are sometimes really unhealthy for us. But once you found out who you are and what you need (and that can be a long and winding road), people that do you really good will come into your life all by themselves… but before that, I also had to learn how to deal with myself and just myself. It was a hard time but it made me come closer to my inner self so much!

    You look fantastic, too, sweetie!

    I have read this post twice, and my reply would not do it justice. Long ago I realized that I had to love myself. Be me. Friends and the person in my Life turned out not so nice after all. Now I choose friends carefully, and am now the happiest and most content I have ever been.

    Ne bih se mogla sloziti vise s tvojim rijecima. Post me odusevio cim si ga objavila ali ja nikako sjest i napisati komentar.
    Bas sam nedavno vodila slican razgovor s jednom osobom o tome da nikada nece biti sretna ukoliko srecu ne prestane traziti u drugim ljudima i stvarima vec u sebi. Ja drzim da je sreca stvar odluke najvecim svojim dijelom. Mi odabiremo biti sretni ili nesretni i sukladno tome cemo dobivati i povratnu informaciju od drugih. Nema srece do one unutarnje.
    Divno si to napisala i bas volim tvoje postove ovoga tipa.
