Sweet Freedom…Whispering in your ear?
Perhaps it’s Time to get Your Butterflies in Formation 🦋🦋🦋
You may secretly wonder to yourself, if you’re ever going to come down, down to your real self? Are you going to ever land and be who you really are, who you were meant to be?
You were made for such a time as this; a time that you were born into— the perfect time for you, because the world needs you!
Someone out there needs exactly what you have to offer, through your tough experiences, to help them make it through their own.
Are you in a struggle at the moment, a difficult point in time in your life, something that you did not sign up for?!
Are you facing challenges that are causing worry, anxiety, doubt and much frustration?
Only you have the power to decide if your future lies beyond what you are experiencing now.
The world can be cruel and change is inevitable! We all go through changes in life, in circumstances, in both pleasant and unpleasant times. It may seem strange to us, but it is something that we need to face, head on!
Perhaps you’re experiencing glimpses into what awaits ahead for you, along your journey of life.
Perhaps you have a fear based mentality, something that could be so ingrained within you your whole life, that works against you, even at times when you’re trying to muster up some courage to go forward.
Understand that you may be experiencing growing pains, that has the ability to stretch you as a person, weeding out the negative mindset and behaviors, renewing your mind, helping you to become the person you’re perhaps meant to be in the future.
Your future self that will look back and see just how far you’ve come, how much you’ve grown and you then find yourself becoming grateful for all you’ve learned, as you wonder why you’ve feared in the first place.
It is a future that is being written right now, by you and how you respond, what you think, including your self-talk, what you do and how you interact with others.
Are you able to get up out of your discomfort, your discouragement and brush off the dust, paying attention to the details of what is really going on in life—and learn from it?
Learning is a part of life and so is growth!
Are you able to finally invest in yourself and begin to take care of yourself, your health, in order to bring your dreams to the forefront of reality?
Once you feel better on the inside, you will be far more capable of handling tasks, ideas, and projects, dreams as well as necessities, on the outside.
Taking care of yourself, and that includes taking the time to rest, is the first step in a positive change for your life.
It all starts at the beginning, that moment when you realize you want more out of life, because the frustration of the current is no longer serving you!
Your future starts with “now”. The here & now!
So get your butterflies in formation and move forward! 🦋
No more excuses, no more complaints— just forward motion! Only you can do it by God’s grace and help.
Life is a balancing act so if it feels as if your tipping in the wrong direction,
you may be in the middle of growing pains… getting you ready to become the best version of yourself that you could be.
The you that is No longer negatively affected by others, circumstances or the everyday stresses of life!
You begin to understand that you no longer want to give your energy away like that, feeling your tank is always drained, your life force seeping out, until you’re too depleted to accomplish anything in those instances.
And then you take notice that time is still moving, wondering how you missed the starting gun in your race of life.
You understand that fulfillment in life is much more precious than your ever powerful ego & pride.
You begin to enjoy letting those little things go and find joy in the moments of life, even the stressful ones.
You let others be them, letting them grow without your control, so you can be you, and begin to blossom.
You begin to see yourself growing and you’re No longer fighting against it, or fighting against your true self, or your Maker.
Think of a butterfly and finally let yourself grow out of your cacoon, that’s been keeping you captive and finally learn to fly in freedom.
If you forget where you’re headed in the midst of your storm, feeling like your sinking, call to mind a butterfly— how uniquely beautiful & how truly free! 🦋 They have no worries for they know God cares for them.
Throughout all our growth in this school called life, we get banged up and beat up with all kinds of hurts and scars that seem to be everlasting.
However, our bodies are both fearfully and wonderfully made, capable of recovering, capable of healing, as God is very capable of healing our hearts, as He takes out our stony heart and gives us a heart full of love, compassion and mercy for others, even in light of the detriment that may have been caused.
You don’t have to stay where you’re at, stagnant and stuck. You are only in a prison within your own mind.
Remember, you are the writer of your story, the one God has authored in the beginning of time, just waiting for you to take hold of and write some more.
It is you that has the power to make the choices in your life, choices that will direct your future. So you can be like a butterfly, and feel free to fly! 🦋
It is time to let your wings burst forth and get moving onto the next chapter and become freely creative and fulfilled, on your journey of life- C.Rae Johnson
