I Walk Alone

I Walk Alone. There are days in most our lives where we walk alone. It is usually by choice though we hate to admit that. It is easier when troubles come to say that "God, our family, or the world has abandoned us," than to humble ourselves and ask for help, comfort or strength.

I Walk Alone. Is it a the fierce independence and stubbornness, or fear that cause us to withdraw and fight our battles alone? I will fight, I will conquer, I will overcome are powerful motivations and messages, but are they driven by strength or pride?

I Walk Alone. I find myself battling the demons of this life, the failures of my past, but most significantly there is the war that goes on within me. I lock all those challenges away in a little box that I will not share with those who can help me the most.

I Walk Alone. Its not the daily challenges that beat me down. There are no mountains that are too big to climb, or seas to vast to sail. Until this day every failure, dissappointment, challenge and loss is seen through the rear view mirror of life. The weight, burden and greatest obstacle that I face today is that I walk alone.
