Be True to You

The only truth you will ever have is the truth you know about yourself. You will never truly know someone else but you will always know yourself. Stop sacrificing yourself for others or you will lose your identity. I always believed that in some essence if I poured out my love unto the heartbroken souls I could save them. I thought I could teach them how to overcome because I have overcome so much adversary in my own life. It just is not the case... while trying to help others love themselves it depletes you of the values and standards you once held for yourself. The value you always knew you had but gets caught up in sacrificing your strength hoping  others will overcome ... You can only help other people if they want to dive deep within themselves to uncover the deep rooted causes of their behaviors. You go back and try to heal their wounds and discover ones of your own that have never truly healed or they have inflicted new ones upon you. You will take on behaviors that you never had...To heal you must look every monster in the eye and explore how it has manifested itself within your life.  Live your life with integrity and don't get lost in the lives of others... their poor values may misguide your life and your destination may change and your path is changed forever. I know if I would have stayed on my purposed path; my road would have lead me down a beautiful path and not a rocky road...but  Be true to you.... because that is all the truth you will ever truly know....
