We are not alone, let's do it together!

Welcome to my blog, I don't really know how often I will share my thoughts with you but I decided to create a space to clear my mind, and maybe it will help someone else or perhaps will help me... The truth is that my mind is filled with a lot of information and I found in writing a way to bring order to my head. I hope you connect with me and what I have to say.
New week reflection:
How many times do we find ourselves in a constant mental conflict in our minds? I'm talking about those moments when the line of "right and wrong" is blurred because we doubt what we consider "right", as it may seem "wrong" from another perspective. How to act? What is the right thing to do? How to minimize collateral damage? Sometimes you just can't.
"You can't always be the good guy". Maybe we can't always be the good person, the savior, the hero, or "insert your favorite adjective" but what we can do is to choose the best way to act in a situation where "right and wrong" are different for everyone. There are certain circumstances in which you must make the difficult decision between choosing you and your interests or risking your integrity but ensuring that no one is affected. Being in that position is the worst and no matter what the decision is, someone will always be affected.
I faithfully believe that there is a better way to act, even when we know that the outcome may affect many. I believe in communication, teamwork, and reconciliation. I believe that no matter what kind of conflict it is, there is always a way! just stop, breathe and evaluate the situation!
Recently I was made to understand (yes, I was forced to understand it because I sometimes lock myself up and get as stubborn as a mule) that we don't have to deal with problems alone, that human beings were never designed to be alone, the opposite, we always tend to be with company or groups. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is a symbol of strength, and occasionally, we need to expose ourselves to others to receive a perspective that could set us free or maybe we simply need to empty our system of the baggage that is consuming us. I learned that I am not alone, that I will always have God to listen to me, that I have myself to motivate me, and that as long as I have my family and friends to love me I will never be alone. Many times I was surrounded by people and I felt alone, now "I am alone" (just because I'm not in the same country as my family and most of my friends) and loneliness is not part of my life.
I have found myself in that conflict many times in my life, most of the time I chose not to hurt others but life took care of showing me that I was making the wrong choices. Sometimes you have to choose yourself and stop thinking about others. Sometimes you will have to look like the bad guy, but try to do the best you can ( not to be the bad guy, but to try to minimize the damage).
In conclusion, in those moments act with objectivity, communication and stick to reality. The fantasy of fairy tales where everything is perfect and the "happy ending" exists does not always apply. Understand it, accept it and move on. If you make a mistake, life will make sure you learn and rectify (yes, sometimes life throws you in that same situation again just to see if you learned). You are not alone as long as someone loves you.
Key.
