It also hinders ones ability to reach outwardly. Isolation is completely shut off from the outside world, inaccessible to those around you, and unapproachable by those who care about you. The similarities between isolation and solitude are that in both cases one is alone, but that’s where it stops. You’d be amazed at what you may find out or discover. Eliminate all of the white noise from the outside world and spend some time with yourself and with God. I encourage everyone, even the most social butterfly, bubbly person out there to seek solitude from time to time. I genuinely enjoy solitude, its when I’m the most productive, I don’t struggle with entertaining myself and I do not struggle with loneliness, I am content. It allows for reflection, prayer, in depth study of Scripture and many other things that do not particularly pertain to faith or spirituality. The issue that I encountered was instead of seeking solitude, I sought isolation and those are two very different things. There is nothing wrong with being either, it is simply who you are. The difference between myself and an extrovert is that afterwards, I cannot wait to go back home and be in solitude while the latter leaves such an engagement with an ample supply of energy ready for the next encounter.

That being said, I have no social anxiety or awkwardness around people, if placed in a room full of people I can network and interact with the best of them. I do not draw my energy from being around other people, I retreat to solitude in order to recharge myself (introvert). Seems like a contradiction right ? I’ll explain. Okay all of you introverts out there, I get it. What I write below is what have learned about fellowship, both being a participant and also being the furthest thing from it. Since then, I have come to understand the importance of fellowship and a quality inner circle. He even influenced/guided the decisions I made while in the hole so that my life was not in utter shambles once I got out. God saw it fit to extend His hand and help me climb out of the hole I dug myself, otherwise I would not be here talking to you today. The world didn’t just break me, it sucked me in. Just like so many other occasions in my life, I was wrong. I told myself over and over that I didn’t need anyone one else, it was just me against the world and the world would not break me. However, where I failed was applying the same mentality to my faith and Christian walk, like a lone wolf. Why pay someone to do it if you can do it yourself? This is certainly a mentality that everyone could benefit from in some regard. I grew up to adopt the same self-reliant mentality.
Lone wolf mentality how to#
The list seems almost never ending and there are few things I could ask that he would not know how to do. He was old school, he spent his time acquiring/learning different life skills, he ran his own small business, did woodworking himself, made furniture, repaired vehicles, grew crops, raised animals etc. My father seemed to be cut from a different cloth.
Many spend their life gaining an education from an institution and putting it to good use in the workforce, usually a specific field.
He was, and still is, a jack of all trades.
“If you want it done right, do it yourself”Ī quote my father said to me often growing up. “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
