Making Friends With All Our Demons
Every time I hear the song Deep End by the great band I Prevail I ponder on the chorus where it says, “So I made friends with all my demons.” I would like to think that by embracing, accepting, and coming to grips with all aspects of ourselves, even the ones that may be considered negative or problematic we can potentially learn from them. By becoming friends with our demons we can find resolution, and ultimately become a more balanced and self-aware individual.
By acknowledging and befriending our insecurities, flaws, and past mistakes in order to grow and develop as a person, we can stay out of the deep end. If we know those demons are there we can begin to look beyond them, not let them get in our way. Our demons, whatever they may be, are many times blocking the thing we really want to see. Many times the very thing we want to create is blocked by the anxiety of not creating, the fear of not making it, or the doubt that we’re not good enough. So maybe the next time some demon comes creeping in we give it a fist-bump, acknowledge it, and then remind ourselves we are worthy and show ourself the compassion needed to move on and do the great things we are capable of.
