Someone once said to me that friendships are established the moment when someone says ‘wow that happened to me too….’
There are so many things that we experience in life and half the time we feel alone in those experiences. Talking about is way of dealing with it and sometimes you feel better once you’ve let it all out. But wouldn’t it better instead of just letting it all out you could also find someone who understands what you’ve been through, someone who has shared a similar experience.
For some really inspirational and uplifting words you could look up any of the following: letter of encouragement christian encouragement words of encouragement in death
It is always good to get words of encouragement from someone who has been through what you are going through because they understand how it feels like to be in your shoes. I always feel cheated when I share my problems with someone who has no idea what its like being in my situation and all they can tell me is ‘don’t worry things will be fine.’
Someone who has been through similar experiences will not only give you words of encouragement but objective and sound advice as well. I recall one time after learning this concept I approached a friend of mine in a similar position as me for a shoulder to cry on. believe it or not it was more than tea that we ended up sharing, we managed a few good laughs and I wasn’t so worried anymore
you will get people who tell you that you should talk with a counselor, psychologist and I agree they are professionals but sometimes you just need to be around someone that is genuine you know. You need to talk to someone who will be at ease with you rather than quote you passages from a text book. Natural and meaningful words said at the right time are more than uplifting.
You regain your focus and are able to think positively about your situation. The problem may still be there but now you have solution, a direction that you can take and be able to move on. Ultimately no matter how painful an experience maybe you must be able to get up and carry on with your life.
