Demons…

As I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram (hoping to come across some juicy pimple popping videos- yes I am that person!!!) I instead came across a photo of my usually smiling friend however today she had tears in her eyes, as I went onto read the blurb that went with the picture it really struck me that we all have our own demons… regardless of how at peace we may look to the outside world, we are all struggling with something (if I had a dollar for every person who said ‘but you look completely normal’ I’d never have to work another day in my life).

It is so easy to become so caught up in our own difficulties that we can forget to show love and compassion to those around us. To check in with our friends because we just assume that they are ok… (especially those with pre teen daughters- trust me we are not ok!!! lol).

Perhaps its important to be mindful of how we interact with others around us. Even if they appear rude to us. We don’t know their story…. We don’t know what happened before they walked into Woolies… Will a harsh reply make us feel better? Maybe momentarily… however if you’re anything like me it wont take long before you’re left feeling low for mistreating someone (regardless of who instigated the situation).

We are in charge of our own journey of happiness however it doesn’t cost anything to help someone along theirs… if we all did this imagine how amazing the world could be!!
