Everyone has shadow inside themselves.
We all have black and white you cannot have one without the other.
In a more idealistic world their wouldn’t be a black side, however, because we live in a imperfect world there is plenty of black inside the hearts of man.
Perhaps, black and white are fact two sides of the same coin to give us contrast and a clearer perspective.
There are parts of you that you might not like or you feel shamed to have.
When we are maturing mistakes are part of the process.
Without the mistakes there are no lessons.
Everyone has a past even if they don’t look it.
It is what makes us humans.
People all have a past.
People all have things they never want anyone to see or something they don’t people to find out about.
And something shouldn’t be mentioned to certain people for reputation purposes and how they may perceive you.
But, one interesting thing is once you stop being ashamed of your past people will stop looking at you funny.
Once you accept all the parts that makes you and has made you, people stop looking at you weird.
Of course, the wrong people will never like you, and chances are those same people weren’t going to like you anyways.
The right people will make you feel like you are home and embrace your deep dark secrets.
The wrong people, it is better to keep it in the down low and not let anyone into your personal life.
Once you stop caring about your past and your mistakes it will no longer affect you or your relationships.
A lot of the things we tend to make a big deal usually is a lot less of a problem than we think.
And if there is a problem same thing applies as above, just find a new batch of friends who embrace you and feel comfortable with you.
Part of growing up is you are going through the learning curve of life, and as painful as growing up is, it part of the process.
You learn, you make mistakes, you grow, and eventually you will be the one teaching people the right way to live.
People with a past make great teachers because they have explored themselves in ways people never felt comfortable with or was too afraid to explore.
Once you realize everyone has their dark secrets they don’t want anyone figure out you will discover everyone is in the same boat.
Even more so, you will realize people are more alike than you originally thought.
Your past isn’t something to be ashamed about, but, it something that made you learn life.
You cannot learn while risk or chances.
We are of course not advocating purposely doing anything outrageous, but, it’s to say embrace your past, embrace who you are and all your parts.
That’s what made you who you are today.
Understanding the shadow or dark nature of life gives you better insights on the human condition which helps you connect to multiple people.
People will also sense there is something different about you and when you talk it will feel different.
It will feel more impactful and have a deeper meaning.
They will sense you are one of the in the know and you get it.
Thus, people are more likely to listen to what you have to say and eagerly accept your ideas.
