Many of you, including myself, hold shame of something that has happened once before. It is something you may have faced, or something that you just wish you could erase. Nonetheless, having shame is really hard, but what is harder is life branding you to it. Actually, life isn’t branding you to it, but putting you into a cycle that consistently reminds you of the pain or wound you try to forget- irritating I know.
In my life I have been ashamed of how I have “begged” people to be my friends, and they just didn’t want it like I did. They pushed me away though I tried to grow closer, and all the time I ignored what was reality. In the moments I did accept what was happening, I was forced into the wounds of unappreciated and undesired. It was a hard pill to swallow, but afterwards my life kept pushing this message. It came as dreams were shattered, anger raged when I didn’t get the respect I desired, and more so, I shrunk as I just felt this was it.
If you are feeling something similar, I want to share that shame will be used as a pawn in your life to kill what is most important for your purpose in life. In my scenario, my dreaming brought me life, and kept me going in a positive way, but when I began to believe the negative messaging, I stopped dreaming, thought it wouldn’t get better, and got stuck in the cycle. It is your job to see these pawn events meant to trip you up, but what you aren’t supposed to do is hold onto the false messaging. To have shameless branding, you have to see what is trying to be branded to you.
In knowing what pain it is consistently hitting, work backwards, and see if there is real reason to be ashamed. Many times it is something from 20 years ago, and we have grown so much, but when we cannot see that, we miss out and hold onto that negative. Do not be ashamed of your past, it was meant for something, and find time to shine light on the truth of it all. As life can try to brand you in a certain negative light, remember you can be filled with light, love, and laughter. These are key points in the Bible that kept kings, prophets, and people alive and well. Life may be shameless in trying to keep you down, but you don’t have to be ashamed with the branding that is trying to claim you.
From a business perspective, branding is what people see on the outside, and what makes them remember you, but as a spiritual person first, this means life is trying to brand your essence. You are the holder of what happens to your spirit, your truth, and your light. The way to stop the branding is to decide to rebrand, to redesign what is shown to the outside world through your responses, but even more how you respond on the inside. How you change the quiet place within yourself, because through your subconscious understandings they will become physical, and that is how life can change for you and the world.
