New Beginnings

When it comes to moving forward with your life, there is no going backwards. What I know to be true is that when we want to change something about ourselves or our life, we must be willing to leave the past behind us.

That means who we were before cannot come with us into our new life if we truly want to be set free. Sure, there will be parts of ourselves nestled deep within us, but in order for a butterfly to truly spread its wings and fly, it can no longer identify with being a caterpillar.

The same is true for humans. Our past, our old ways of thinking, our wounds, our traumas, our old behaviours, and bad habits all need to be let go of in order for real, lasting change to occur.

Sometimes our old self, or our old life, tries to pull us backwards. We fall back into the same old patterns, the same bad habits, or we resort back to our old ways of living, and that only hurts and harms our new self.

We have to be willing to be new. We have to be willing to do things differently. We have to be willing to venture into the unknown and be willing to fumble along for a little while until our wings are fully formed and we are able to fly at full speed.

This process takes time, and it can’t be rushed, but what I know to be true is that with every season of change or growth, it just keeps getting better and better.

ACTION STEP:  Today affirm, I am grateful for a new day and a new beginning. I am grateful that I am supported, held, seen, and loved while I take flight into new horizons. I am grateful for the love that is in me and all around me.

Then, reflect. Is there something you need to let go of completely? Is there something you will honour with grace, love, and respect, but choose to leave it in the past where it belongs?

Think about that today. Your heart will always know.
