“Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are.”
Julius Charles Hare
Have you ever woken up to realize that you have been spending all of your time pretending to be someone you are not? It could be as simple a thought as, "wow, I have been doing this for so many years and now I realize I don't even like it" or a deeper realization that perhaps includes not knowing what you like in any area of your life.
We are in a constant state of spiritual change and growth. We do not have to continue doing things we don't enjoy just because we think it makes us who we are. What we do does not define who we are. These outside images that we portray for ourselves are rarely ever lasting. To try and keep the image up after you have grown is an exhausting task. And who does it satisfy?
Clearing yourself of the old you can make way for self discovery and the freedom to invite new things into your life. We can only improve when we know what we are to improve upon! A wise woman once said, "you have to pull the weeds to make way for new and more beautiful things to grow". As "the weeds" are removed, our true selves are revealed.
Today I will dig deep to see what I truly enjoy in my life and let go of the rest. I will pull the weeds to make way for new spiritual growth.
Wishing You Well Today and Always
