Hi beautiful one,
Let’s have some transparency. Recently I received some “bad” news. It has made me consider much about myself, my life, and my relationship with God. The news wasn’t life damaging but it went against where I believed my life was headed. I saw myself in places and doing things that encouraged me to move a particular way throughout the year. I was zoned in and focused, unwavering unless I was tired and even then I kept going. When the moment of truth came, I received what I considered to be a slap in the face. The Bible says offenses must come. I took on the defensive spirit so fast when I was corrected. Now I’m reevaluating what I’ve been up to.
Now, that you have the set up. Here’s the question I’ve been asking myself: is there a part of myself that I put down that is trying to get picked back up? Look around you, are you happy? Maybe I should ask that differently. Can you be grateful while the story unfolds? Is there a part of yourself you have neglected?
Life comes at us all. It comes up. It comes down. I think we focus on the come up because it’s there life seems easier than the current reality. But let’s take a chance on reality. Reality isn’t done with us yet. When the dream is delayed that doesn’t mean the world is ending. It may mean there’s more of you it requires. There is a cost to our dreams and there’s also a revelation that comes with it.
How many of us are living in purpose? How many of us know our purpose? What if the rejection you received was meant to push you towards the parts of yourself that could unlock your dream? What if your vision for life is tied to the part of yourself you forgot about? What if you forgot about the financial need and focused on what makes you feel free and alive? There’s something you think it’s too late to pursue, but when you think about it there’s this peace that comes with it. It’s a gift to know deep down you have something that creates such a sensation it scares you. What if the rejection was the redirection towards what you continue to ignore?
I know I sound like I’m rambling, speaking in code to confuse you further, but I believe I have suppressed a part of myself that wants to get out. I believe in my attempts to secure myself as a responsible adult I have let that control my decisions and therefore lost focus on what matters. We can’t let life bend us so backwards that we forget what brings us peace and a sense of freedom.
That rejection wasn’t the end, it was the redirection towards something. I encourage to dive deeper into yourself. Explore what brings you joy and what makes you whole. Wholeness should be our life’s endeavor. I believe this is where we’ll find flow in abundance. I believe that’s where God wants us to connect with Him. We are His design made with the same power that He resonates through all of life and creation. It is because of that power we are empowered to be our most authentic selves. It’s through reaching wholeness we can begin to expand our horizons beyond monetary value and live a life fulfilled.
