Friendship and Teamwork

   I don't know about you, but I feel like it's easy to be the little antagonistic voice inside your head. There is a saying that says, 'You are your own worst critic'. 100% true, atleast for me. I'm sure I'm not alone in this but, Dear Reader, whoever you are, maybe you're doing just fine, I don't know. 

   Guess what I wanted to say is this, please don't be so hard on yourself? I don't know if you need to hear this, or maybe pass it along to somebody else, but either way I hope you give yourself Kindness. Give yourself Grace. Go easy on Yourself, because it's too easy to be your own worst enemy. 

    I think that one of the best ways to find Happiness and have a smooth Journey down the road of Life, is to make Friends with Yourself. I know that probably sounds really corny. But whether you need to hear it, or someone else needs to, I think it's something good to keep in mind. 

   What good does it do to feel resentment? To blame yourself? What does that accomplish?

      To me it sounds like trying to run one of those two-person sack races with a partner that doesn't want to cooperate with you, and then where would you be? You and your partner would be flailing around all tripped up over each other, just a tangled mess on the ground.

      I know you're one person, and you are fully in control of your motor skills, or atleast to the best of your abilities, but for just a moment, think of yourself as two. Yourself and that little voice inside your head. Another way to think about it is Yourself and Your Thoughts. The best way to run that race and reach the finish line is to Cooperate and Work Together.

    I know I can't tell you what to do, and I definitely don't know everything, but I hope that my words can make a difference for somebody. According to Google, good Teamwork is based on Mutual Trust, Cooperation, Open Communication, Empathy, and Good Listening, to ensure that each Member feels Valued, and understanding how each can contribute to fit the bigger picture, or the Goal you are trying to Accomplish. So my advice to you is this, see Yourself, You and Your Inner Thoughts, as a Team that needs to work Together. 

    Working with Yourself, instead of against Yourself, I believe, would get you farther in the long run. If You're always putting Yourself down, how can you expect to Rise Up and meet Your challenges? 

    Being Kind, Honest with Yourself, and Forgiving Yourself, are just as Important, if not more Important than the race itself. Be your Best Friend, Your Greatest Confidant, and You will get a lot farther ahead. 

    Sending all of my Love and Best regards. I'am Grateful if this post was able to help somebody, even if just a little bit. Either way I hope You have a Great day
