After we've lived a while, we come to realize that no one is coming to our rescue and that we are our main problem solver. No partner, psychologist or friend is going to get to the core of a personal issue better than us. You may also have been burned by someone you trusted and who you thought knew better.
Ostensibly, this means that we are on our own which does not oblige that we feel alone. We can relate to others and share experiences which then feed into our arsenal of self-help.
It takes time to know what drives us as humans because from birth we are given marching orders about how life works. Unfortunately much of that foundation was built upon numerous fallacies which societies rely on but aren't necessarily conducive to our mental or spiritual health. Often, we trusted that our elders knew better at our own peril.
By this age I have come to certain conclusions while knowing I don't have the benefit of seeing the entire playing field. My humanity blocks my full perspective and yet I see where the fixes need to happen and guide myself to where I think I can gain more insight.
No one is going to do that for you.
