LEARNING BY DESIGN
Welcome to 2023! If anything in 2022 had you feeling bound, now, is the time to break free. Free your mind and your heart from the place that no longer serves you. Release yourself from the guilt, shame, pain, hurt, and emotional connection that had you bearing the burden of someone else's brokenness, and almost caused you to break. Pick your heart and head up, out of the heaviness that came along with people pleasing. Now, is the time to please yourself. You are still alive. Take the control back over your life. A new year is the time for revival.
Revive, re-energize, restore, and renew all of the dreams that you let die, because of the fear of failure. You deserve more than the crumbs that the people in your life have thrown to you. Don't force yourself in the lives of people who don't make time for you. Your time is just as important as their time. You deserve to be loved the right way, and to be appreciated for all that you have to offer to others. Renew your mind to think of yourself as more than enough. You are not an option to be considered. Allow yourself to give birth to that reality and nurture the special human being that is, YOU. This is the real revival.
Don't live in the lies told about you. Don't live in the assumptions of people who know nothing about you and don't take time to get to know who you truly are. Let go of what holds you back from being your best self...from loving your authentic self...from being loved and sharing love with those deserving of your love. It is time for your revival.
Despite how badly you want something or someone, don't waste another year, holding on to figments of your imagination that you create; open your eyes and look at what really is happening. Don't overlook what could be the biggest blessing in your life, because you are stuck in a place that keeps evading you. You are alive, even if some people act as if you never existed in their lives. I see you, and now is the time for you to see yourself. This is the real revival.
Forgive yourself for wanting something or someone so badly that you were willing to sacrifice your good character. In our humanness, we make mistakes. However, don't get stuck at your mistake. It is Not your fault, how people treat you...that's between them and God. Live on. Love on. Move on. Do better. And, don't give up on you. Give yourself the same grace that you give others. Give yourself the same forgiveness that you give others. Give yourself the same love, that you freely give to others. It is time for your revival.
Whatever it is that has your spirit depleted; emotionally drained, on the brink of burnout and hopelessness, ask God to restore and replenish your soul and breathe life back into you. You are still alive. Stand tall and walk boldly into your destiny, on purpose, with purpose. As time continues to move onward, don't waste another day. Leave 2022, back in 2022. Welcome to 2023! This is the real revival. Get ready for your revival! All clear?
