You have to be you authentically.
It’s hard to accept yourself just as you are because by the time we reach the point of knowing something has to change a lot of the damage has already been done. How much of your soul has already been hurt by the words and actions of others? What memories keep you up at night? There is hope to rescue your soul from the pains of the past. Your soul has to let go of the emotions of the past to walk and step into the new future you have ahead of you. The present moment and the idea of the future will always hurt as long as you are holding onto the past. There will be a journey to walk through as you venture through the hurts of the past to approach the future with a bold attitude, and that’s okay.
You can’t live in denial of what has happened to you and you’re not expected to deal with it alone. Reach out for help and support to work through the memories of the past. Remember always that there is grace for you and that you are never alone. There will be circumstances that you have had to walk through that others have as well; look out for those people and reach out for advice from them. Reach out for help and know that you have always had the strength to move through whatever you’re facing, regardless of how much it has hurt you and that you always will. You will always be bolder than you believe when you realise the power of that great strength within you.
You are not judged by the actions that have happened against you, you are loved for who you are regardless. You are regarded by the beauty of your soul, no matter what trials it has encountered. Your past may leave you feeling depressed, shaken, anxious, apprehensive, guilty, any number of emotions and that is okay. You are still loved regardless of how battered your soul may feel and you can walk through anything, whilst finding a new you, regardless of what has happened to you.
You are not exempt from pain and you are not exempt from peace, and you can and will have both in this life. Your future will always shine brightly ahead of you as long as you have a past to walk from. It is from the hurts and trials that we have learnt to truly walk. If there was no fire then there would be no refining process. You have to step boldly into what calls you in the future. Be bold in this present moment to look at the opportunities before you and move wisely.
The world awaits you when you step out as you are. Step out passionately, step of boldly, step out courageously, you are born for such a time as this. There is greatness in the world around you but what is within you is greater than what is already in the world. You have something to share and the world needs to see what you have. Never be afraid to speak out a little louder, step a little further, dream a little higher, and reach out more to the people around you. The steps you take in your future may be not be easily taken but you will reach your dreams if you keep on stepping not letting your doubts and fears stop you where you’re at.
Your life is a vessel for greatness that the world has not yet seen. Your life will deliver the message from brokenness to beauty. Your light will shine from the past into your future. Your life will change as the light changes and transforms your heart from the way it once was to the way it one day will be. You are on a forever- journey, a lifetime process of change, and that is a wonderful thing. Your life will be beautiful and it has contained beauty since day one.
