Are you Sabotaging in Efforts of Staying the Same?
This blog has been something on my mind for years. I have so badly wanted to find a way to influence others and turn my struggles into a platform that promotes confidence in many. I love being me, in times of hardship I used to wonder “why me”. But I am finally in the headspace to accept that every effect encourages who I am becoming and how I am surrendering to the process. I must admit although humbling it is certainly rewarding when you have the chance to reflect on the journey.
Don’t be caught up in what others say, think or feel. Nine times out of ten, they have hopes just like you to jump out and do something uncomfortable but beautiful that could pivot their life. All those thoughts that run through your mind saying what you can’t do are the ones you should not condone running free, because they don’t belong to you! It’s the enemy’s way of trying to deter you from your happiness.
Let’s Be Thankful That Who We Are Isn’t Who We Used to Be
The relationships, the jobs even the activities begin to simply be a figment of your imagination. You grow recognizing that certain phases of life absolutely seem like a lifetime ago. You lose a taste for the drama, the trauma, and the discomfort of being the same sim in an evolving vessel.
There are things in life we try to keep close that no longer fit in the puzzle. Your adventure on this sophisticated psychologically enthused journey is one that must be mastered for your soul to smile and your inner child to glow. You cannot harvest what is already dead. Emphasize that there comes a time where the negative must be gutted and weeded out no matter how bad you long for it to “be like it used to”. The chapter is closed, and the book has been finished many moons ago.
Whenever I am trying to find the strength after prayer, I think “well in another world, someone is hoping the ending to this story will bring a riveting opening to the sequel”. But how, how will we ever get there if we’re holding onto something that is so suffocating we feel shackled and bound.
Release, Regroup and Rise
The world is in the era of recognizing “You Are the Prize”! So please indeed I ask you to rise to the occasion and accept your fate! You do deserve to live an authentic life, you deserve happiness, you deserve to feel free and embody the person you’ve always dared to be.
When regrouping you take a step back and focus on what was, having that internal battle of trying to figure out how to have a world where the old and new exist… but it doesn’t. Some things are meant to stay exactly where they are, a part of the story emphasized as a character in one moment and a looming image of the past in the next. These side characters build up the plot, make way for the climax but it is you as the main character on a joyous side quest who gets to share the resolution, break the cycle or for many who stays fixated on what could’ve been… STUCK.
Please don’t accept the season of stagnation, it is not your portion! All who have loved you will remember you, whether hurt or they did the hurting life is about experience and lessons. When mature many will say “I love you for freeing me” “I love you for showing me myself” and unfortunately if they are one to not forgive, the hate is just internalized love for the memories they couldn’t let go LOL.
Through it all, your heart grows, your worry fades and the misery… Well, your misery sees that your mind is no longer a safe place. You’ve found the power, granted by God to move through fleeting feelings that can no longer rest on you because you’re choosing peace, you are choosing happiness, you are choosing to live!
Life is Worth Living
If you have found yourself stuck or moving based off of limiting beliefs, I dare you to write about what your dream life looks like. Do you get the nice home with the white picket fence? Or are you still complaining about how unfair life is, or about what they did that was so horrible? Take yourself on a journey through writing and exercise your right to use your imagination! If money, feelings and closed doors wasn’t a standing issue in your life, write about just how beautiful and positive things could be for you. Write it as if you’re already living it.
Tell me how that makes you feel! Explore your options and come to understand that sometimes it us who stands in the way of or happiness. We also tend to be the reason for such rigid boundaries in which we lack true happiness, because instead chancing the cause we’re worried about the lasting effect. Take the chance!
