Some lessons are harder to learn in life, you have to go through them over and over again in order to truly absorb and understand what it is that they’re trying to teach you.
Over the last couple of weeks so much has changed, so many unexpected events took place and I feel that a new chapter is starting. I’ve taken some time off from blogging because I’ve been moving through the flow of life and going through a milestone change.
It’s interesting how my last blog post prepared me for what unfolded that day. Later that day I found myself in a fork on a road situation where I needed to choose my own values and integrity or remaining in an environment that would continue to constrain me. In doing so I found myself on the path of making other decisions that led me to this new chapter that I’m in now.
We’re all constantly going through various chapters in our lives, some chapters are longer than others and some are harder too. But each chapter has it’s own unique plot and purpose, so it’s important to take from it what you can and let go of what you no longer need. The main character in my last chapter was fear, my fear, the fear that I had developed and become so accustomed to that I couldn’t separate from myself. It wasn’t until a circuit breaker brought the chapter to a natural conclusion that I was reminded of how powerful one courageous step can be. But I don’t have to let fear become the tone of my life, even if it is a regular visitor. This circuit breaker was what led to the next evolution of unpacking myself and settling down in a new meadow of what will become my future comfort zone.
These are the cycles that we go through, we continuously out grow our comfort zones and expand it; it’s an inevitable part of life and how things unfold. I think I’m slowly accepting that this process will happen whether I want it to or not, the difference is that I can choose to embrace it and enjoy it as much as possible or I can resist it.
Perhaps this is the gift of wisdom, recognising that you can choose to respond differently to life and testing out what works best for you. The less you resist and the more you accept the smoother the whole experience becomes. It doesn’t mean it’s easy, it’s just a little less uncomfortable and there is a bit more beauty involved.
Whatever chapter of life you’re in, embrace it with open arms and surrender to what it is trying to show you.
Love Always,
