This is going to be short and sweet- transitioning is moving from one point to another. In loss of self™ that is moving you from one point of lost, stuck, broken, or unloved to another of purpose, faith, and identity. Many times in transition, you will be shown how “easy” and “ok” your old ways were, which left you with those negative feelings, but why? Well, the reason is that if you don’t change, or move, you can’t find your purpose, you won’t know who you are supposed to be, and you won’t have the opportunity to see every downward thrust as a way to gain faith in what God has for you.
This whole process is rediscovery because the you of essence has been buried, hence the negative feelings. In transitioning you get to shed that skin and become someone generous, living, open, and new. You could go from upset and down about the physical life you live in, to happy and generous with what you have. A small example is two kids playing, one down, then overwhelmed with wins, and one with wins and then overwhelmed by feeling down. As the newly winning player watches the sadness, despair, and defeat, they help the other player get wins. They were even shown that this player wasn’t changing their down attitude, with the wins, but they still chose to help.
In your story, you may be either player, but the connecting factor is the relationship. The one player had to know the sensation of that state in life to feel compassionate enough to take action. The newly down player was grateful for the help, but still struggled to see the true changes. You may be there, and to that I say, “transition can be slow, defeating, and unstimulating,” but it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. If you are in the struggle, then look up and look for hope. Be grateful for what is happening and be genuinely appreciative. If you don’t truly appreciate what is being done for you, stop accepting help because you could be the cause of another stopping their generosity and openness.
Love fills the voids, and in this case, the compassion from the relationship or exchange is love. The thing is, love that is given can never be broken indefinitely, just broken off from person to share with another. Today, you can change and choose a new mindset or way. It is okay if it is hard. It is okay if God seems far. It is okay if you don’t trust the process at all times. You get the approval and authority over your life to feel those emotions, but just be self-aware of how it affects that team cheering for you. If you push away, take advantage, or stay the same, their enthusiasm can turn to disappointment, and that’s where I can come in. Getting a friend or guide can be the deciding factor of how well you deal with transition, so email me- hello@confidencefaith.com- or get someone who you can take this journey with. You got this, take yourself forward!
