Letting go is harder when you have made it your dream, your goal, or your identity. When you get things set in your mind, how often do you move or adapt easily? In my life, I will say that I do not adapt at times as quickly as I should. I may not realize my stubbornness, but it keeps my emotions low and digs my heels in; can you relate?

If you are struggling with a change, or someone telling you something that just doesn’t sit right somewhere inside, I encourage you to stop. I encourage you to listen to if what you are being “blocked from” starts with “I want”, or if you are choosing to not see the better aspect of a situation. Many times, it is this connection that stops you from seeing the truth, and it just makes life a little bit harder when trying to get out of the rut.

When feeling lost, stuck, broken, unloved, or without your light, it is easy to cling to other items for security or identity, but it is not you. You have the ability to create and bring life to yourself. It is your job to recognize that what you are rejecting may keep you stuck. As that thing may not feel right to you, ask why? What is being opposed or making you become defensive?

At times it may be the fear or being empty without this things, or  it may be a storyline you have told yourself, so why do you keep holding on? As we all want to be someone, you have to see if what you are rejecting wants you to be something more than your event. That time of evaluation may just help you discover the next level, the new you, or a new way.

Today, I wanted to write about 12 hours ago to you, but I had to stop rejecting the fact I could not go more time without bonding with my family. My self-preservation on this certain thing said focus away from them, and I was asked to be more. In defiance, things got worse until, for my actual self-preservation, I had to listen. So here I am, not on my time, but God’s, and in honesty, I have to trust that who needs this will still get it. Maybe I will discover this is a better time to post for you all, or at the bare minimum, I had a wonderful time connecting with my family. In acceptance of being great I was truly able to see what has happened to me over time, and though I didn’t like what I saw, I know this is okay. I know I am okay, and I know you can be okay too!
