Doing the Work.

Sit through a little scenario with me, if you will.. :

Once upon a time, in a land wherever you are, 
there was you.
One day, you decided to have a party.
You didn't mean for the party to get so out of control-
Friends invited friends, who invited friends..
You kept trying to calm everything down,
To no avail..

Until you were finally so tired, 
You just stopped trying to keep the peace. 
Needless to say (But I'll say it, anyway),
Your house gets pretty trashed.
Go figure.

The next day,

you want your house clean again-

Because it's so much more peaceful that way.

But it's just so messy, it's overwhelming.
You need help, you just can't get it all done by yourself!
So you call a cleaning company.

They come to your house,

and start cleaning...

Except, they don't live there.

They don't know where anything goes.

Sure, they can vacuum, pick up the trash..
Maybe you call a friend

who can help put your furniture back together
(Yes, it was that bad)

But if you want your house put together right,
Everything put in it's proper place,
Everything back to normal..

Then YOU have to do the work. 
No one else knows where everything belongs;
Where you need things to be
to have your home back together

The same goes for healing. 

You can have as many people around you, helping you,
As you could want..

But in the end,

You are your own best healer.

It's true, you cannot do it on your own-

You'll need help,
And sometimes a lot of it

But in the end,

Only you can heal yourself.

No one else can do that for you.
You are your own best healer.
