When we are on our own journey, the best learning occurs. Yet, there are couples that master everything together. After a split of that power couple through death, separation, divorce, severe sickness of one, or whatever, the one person left must start over again, it can be difficult being on our own journey again. Here is an external post about how we can fall in love with our life's journey.
Nikola Tesla's most famous quote regarding solitude and working alone is: "Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born." The idea that we build our passions alone. Loving your work with passion is the key, but to get to that point it may take much time and energy to achieve. If work is not fun, you should not be doing it.
When we are on our own journey, the challenges are greater but more rewarding when reached. The popular idiom "Behind every successful man there stands a woman" is a proverb used to acknowledge the unseen support, sacrifices, and emotional labor provided by wives, partners, or mothers that allow men to thrive in their public and professional lives. This is not so true anymore as women chief executive officers and prolific women entrepreneurs became more prominent and less common than back in the day when the man was more often the head of the household.
We Find Truth When We Are on Our Own Journey
I remember a time when I was furthest from my loved ones, I hit rock bottom and suffered a breakdown. After the military, I came back broken and admitted I needed help. Thus, I put back to sleep for about forty years until karma brought me an awakening or initiation into enlightenment. I practiced Catholicism so long because I learned to externalize God. Eastern religions like Buddhism along with studying plenty of esoteric philosophy made me realize God is within each of us, but we must not be condescending or blasphemous. Sometimes, when we are on our own journey, opposing forces of evil will come down on us.
I recently had a kundalini awakening, demonized by some Christian denominations. I have some friends say it is the Holy Spirit, and of course I am “straddling the fence” between yes and no on that spiritual perspective. If in their eyes, it is something great, I accept that. When someone starts questioning it as evil or trying to disprove it, I walk away. Here is a somewhat post about our personal journey, resurrecting familiarity and finding home.
Stay strong and fight your own battles, and of course, cover anyone is back you trust and love. I personally try to stay from separation and conflict if possible. Duality or dichotomy rules this current world we live in. The power brokers who make all the main decisions into big money and governmental and other high institutional secrecy. When we are on our own journey, we often find that greatest love in the universe, whom we call God.
