Doddsism #125


Sometimes simply knowing is enough!

It seems one of the biggest fears there are in life is the fear of the unknown. So many times we deal with issues that we don't understand. People change or leave without explanation, leaving you to wonder what happened. Things change, stuff happens and we are left with only memories. One of the most basic questions we ask as children is "WHY?" As kids even when it is explained to us we still may not understand but it was enough to make us feel better. I believe as adults that same thing still holds true. Knowing even without completely understanding gives us something to help us move past the given situation in our lives. Is there someone in your life that deserves to ask you why?

Situations happen that are beyond our understanding. Sometimes we simply need to hear the words from someone even if we know what they are going to say. When faced with situations that you don't understand you should start by asking yourself "why". The person you want to hear it from may not always be available or willing to tell you but at least it will give you a starting point to move forward. A lot of times we know in our head the answers to the questions we want to ask but try to protect our hearts. Your heart can't heal from a wound by simply pretending the wound isn't there. Listen to yourself and begin to heal your heart. It may hurt at first but in the long run it is far less painful. You can do it!
