Change is not an option
I had an experience today that prompted me to do this video on fear, this encounter was not a one off, I was aware of this problem but had not previously addressed it in a blog post or video. Today I chose to speak because many may be struggling with this issue and are afraid of speaking out or afraid to take the necessary steps to change because of the perceived outcome.
Fighting Fear
Many are afraid to heal because they are afraid of who they will be after they a have dealt with the pain and grew through it. To some extent, I understand the fear. IF you have seen a glimpse of your greatness, If you have viewed even a small part of the creator’s design and His plans for you, it could blow your mind. Go ahead blow your mind. Abandon your current position and give up the codependent relationship that is stealing your value.
Making the Change
After you have taken that important and courageous step to choosing to heal you will never be the same again. Healing is self-discovery. When you have ventured out on that journey nothing will be the same again. Not the current relationship that you have maintained despite knowing that it was necessary to call time on it along time ago. Not the job that has kept you stuck in the same position without the possibility of growth, not the friendship that is bleeding you. Nothing will be the same, but that is the beauty of change. It stretches you and makes you uncomfortable with mediocrity.
Make the decision to move out of your way, do not stand in your shadow or dim your light. Do not be afraid to stand in the power that God has given you and experience the peace He wants you to have. Do not be scared of how the new you will impact the people around you. Do not question whether you will be accepted or loved; many will not embrace the new you because the old one was serving them well. However, this cannot be a deterrent for growth or standing in your truth.
Change can be painful and challenging but well worth the effort.
