Most people find they don't get enough alone time. And when one of these moments comes along, they find they don't know what to do with it. I hear this over and over, and sometimes even experience it myself.
It is especially difficult when you find yourself alone while, or because of, trying to do the right thing! Alone can be down right lonely when you find yourself standing alone or all alone because you are doing the right thing for the right reasons.
The challenge is to find enough internal discipline to stay the course. To stay in the right, no matter how painful or alone or difficult you find the moment. Tomorrow will be a new day and you want to be able to look yourself in the eye and not be ashamed of anything.
The other side of this, is choosing to be alone. To think, to pray, to create, to accomplish the difficult work of building something beautiful or valuable. These types of important activities demand alone time. They can't be produced in the middle of constant interruption and distraction.
All too often though we find the discomfort overpowering our golden opportunities.
