Standing alone
The Only One
The issue with self-help is that it often has to apply to more than one and ventures into generalizations quickly. Only after discarding many pieces of advice that just don’t click or don’t pertain do humans realize that self-help can be limited to that actual wording. It is self help. The burden is on the one looking for the knowledge to pick and choose what would work. If the choices still seem limiting, the real self work comes in because the burden is on the human to figure out what they need. The real self does the choosing. I am respectably very ordinary and proud of it. We are all actually ordinary humans with extraordinary spirits. We glow from within, which is a good thing because it would be intimidating to speak to each other if we could only encounter others by how shiny they are. Ordinary does not mean average or mundane or not so special. In fact, our ordinariness is our extraordinariness. Counterintuitive but absolutely true. To best illustrate this fact, look around. There are so many ordinary humans with extraordinary spirits in your world that you may have become used to them. When you recognize their light, you are actually seeing the reflection of the identical type of light they see in you. Yes, extraordinary. Realizing your honestly brutal brightness is the message for you to think about today. You are an ordinary wonder.
Walk alone
Option #1: Do you see how you are alone and in the crowd at the same time?
Option #2: Can you believe your own ordinary extraordinariness?
Option #3: What can you do that is ordinary?
That’s it. After you choose the option that best describes how ordinary you are, take a few minutes to describe why you chose that option and what action, if any, may come next.
