Skeletons in our closet

One might wonder why I chose such a name as “the skeletons in our closet” as the title for my blog spot. Well the truth is that we all have skeletons in our closet.

Yes, each one of us does.

There are certain things that even those who we are close to -- do not know about us (scary thought). We all have done something in our lives that we are not proud of and, given a second chance, would never repeat it.

Still we like to critique others lives. Do the holier than thou act. In a book on how to find topics to write about, the author stated that nothing can be more interesting that our own backyard.

I agree.

If we all were to write a book inspired by our very own experiences and bring out the skeletons from our closet, I bet you it would make an interesting read. Each life is a story worth telling. We have all in one way or the other faced and overcome obstacles in our life. We have all at least once in our lives questioned (some entity above) “why me”?

The skeletons in our closet have shaped us to be what we are today and most importantly, where we are in life today. For most of us (if not all of us) I can safely assume that the skeletons in our closet have made us better human beings. As humans we ourselves do not know what we are capable of, we constantly underestimate ourselves. There is nothing we are not capable of overcoming only if we want to; you only have to take a look at the skeletons in your closet to prove it to yourself.

If you have to adopt one motto in your life let it be whatever happened, happened for the best, all other motto’s will follow with this one concept in mind. Once you apply this to your life you will find yourself being more positive and be able to move on and pursue new opportunities. After sometime you will notice that the skeletons in your closet will start to appear as a positive force in your life versus the negative. Ultimately it’s up to you to view the glass as half empty or half full.

If it was not for the skeletons in my closet I would definitely not be writing about it. Let’s celebrate our lives, live to the fullest, if you have a passion fulfill it now; it’s never too late.

Lets try to be human and not like the skeletons in our closet. Life is all about embracing the good, the bad, the ugly, and the skeletons in our closet and making the best out of it.

Yea, the skeletons are there, sister.... sometimes they haunt us, sometimes they plague us. I agree that they sometimes inform our lives today... but I hope that we do not give in to them, and let them ru(i)n our lives.

Good blogging
