Cast Me To The Wolves And I Will Lead The Pack
Each one carries a battle of his own on his back and in his heart. None can be compared to the neighbor’s, or your partner’s, or your best friend’s. We all carry our fears well hidden, traces of the past that have not yet healed and present labyrinths in which sometimes, we cannot find the way out. In which we see more enemies than allies, but today I will lead the pack.
Is there an explanation for why we have had to live certain situations? Some say that our problems are a direct result of our own actions or bad decisions. Not true, this rule is not always correct.
Sometimes, things fail because adversity hits us at random, without more. Because who you trusted now fails you. Because what was once safe is no longer safe. Because health is not always iron, but glass and we have to face everything.
It is not easy, but the truth is that, when we arrive in this world, nobody assures us that our days are going to be placid. Someone, somewhere, should warn us that we must learn as soon as possible to be leaders in wolf packs. Strong creatures in the face of all adversity. So tell us… Are you a good fighter too?
I will lead my adversaries, I will fight difficulties
Reflect for a moment on this question: What was your first encounter with adversity? It is often said that people lose our innocence at the moment when the first difficulty appears, the loss or that setback that changed our way of seeing the world forever.
We are aware that, sometimes, great words become nothing, in smoke that escapes through an open window through motivational phrases that many cannot apply to reality.
Despite this, and knowing that your difficulties are very special, it is worth thinking about it, breaking some of your internal schemes to defeat external enemies. Keep these aspects in mind, think about them:
- There is no worse enemy than your own limiting thoughts. Sometimes we come to think that our surroundings are full of wolves, of constant threats that veto our personal growth, our happiness.
- Change your thoughts and you will change your reality. No. It is not a cliché.
- Move forward without useless weights
- say what you think … and set limits.
Reflect for a moment, instead of focusing your attention outside to contemplate your adversities, look within yourself and find the value that the sense of survival has offered you without knowing it.
How to cope with difficulties
Sometimes we get tired of being told that the greatest learning is offered by adversity, vital moments that put us to the test so that through suffering we acquire knowledge.
We all live in the “here and now” waiting for that vital knowledge to fall from the sky to improve our situation. How long do I have to wait? If I live among them for a long time … When will I finally be able to lead my pack of wolves?
There are those who get used to living with their enemies. Accept, assume and allow themselves to be carried away by the fear of change, by fear of what may happen. We cannot criticize it. Everyone is free to live the life they want, even if it is on the back of unhappiness and frustration.
- Lead your life, we assure you that the effort is worth it. To do this, recognize your enemies, the exteriors and also the interiors (is it fear? Is it indecision? Do you feel insecure?)
- Name what happens to you. Are you unhappy next to someone? Doesn’t the life you have now make you happy? What are you afraid of?
- It is time to impose your voice, but you will start by talking to yourself: What do I need to feel better? Will the effort be worth it? How will I lead my fears to make them disappear? And my external enemies?
