Seasons of Life

Most days life feels redundant. Just doing the same things over and over again. So how do you keep it going without burning out? Without feeling bored or craving more excitement in your life? How do you create the life that you don’t need a vacation from?

Life can drag you if you allow it. We [humans] allow it by just going with the flow and not knowing which direction truly to go. We are so focused on getting to the money! When getting to the money has left us spiritually tired, energy drained, aging like spoiled milk instead of fine wine, mind racing, when you are alone you turn the TV on, music on, doom scroll on social media or anything to keep us occupied. We hate being alone. Why? Because when we are alone all of the emotions, thoughts, trauma, life issues, etc that we’ve tried to bury resurfaces that can be overwhelming. I get it. Life never taught us how to deal with our emotions- how to process them, control them or even balance them. We were shown how to be the next cog in the wheel; go to school, get a great job, and live happily ever after. But what about all the things that happen during these major life crossings. We all want a big check and most are willing to do anything to get it never realizing how taxing it’ll be on the mental health.

People are quitting jobs, whole careers, leaving their families, divorce is at an all time high! So is bankruptcy, our souls are yearning for something new. But we are too afraid to take the leap of faith. Fear is holding us back from being authentic, from being true to ourselves, you truly didn’t want that career you chose it because of the money it came with. Now you can’t rest at night, you are unfulfilled, you feel like nothing flows, maybe money flows but it isn’t giving you the energy you thought it would, but you continue to run yourself cat raggedy. 

By the time you retire, you pass away within the next ten years. And those years were spent going in and out of doctor’s offices. Then all the money you made and saved will go to the government. Because you had no family. The cousins you did have you refused to create a will to leave them anything. You didn’t want them spending your money.  This is happening at alarming rates across America. When will we all wake up and put ourselves first? There is another way to live life. One where you can live a life where you don’t need a vacation from. One where your nervous system is calm and happy. One where you are so spiritually sound and grounded that you honor God with every breath. Your heart open and flowing. Your mind free and clear. One where everything isn’t perfect BUT it’s perfect for YOU! 

Life doesn’t have to be a constant tug of war. Your perception, how you operate, how you treat yourself [most important], how you treat others, are all important contributing factors. 

You wonder how did the world become this way. Look in the mirror love. It starts and ends with you. You say when will the world change? That change starts with you. Be the change you seek in this world. We can only control our reactions to life. We can’t control the seasons. In this season of your life I pray that you are well, present, happy and content.
