Personal Growth-Starting Over

Personal Growth- Starting Over...

We as humans want the familiar most of the time, yet we know we need to forget what we have been practicing for so long and it is in Personal Growth-Starting Over that we begin our journey.  How do we let go of the past and move on to our new growth and life? 

My thoughts go to the Bible when God said that He would forgive our sins and put them as far as the east is from the west.  I know it is not as easy as it sounds.  But, you have to forgive yourself for your mistakes (if you made any) as well as forgiving the person who has caused you pain.  Not any one can move on to a better life if they cannot forgive and let it go.....on the same note...you MUST stop blaming yourself for what you did not do..and most of the time; you may not have done anything other than be naive.

Starting over takes guts; to put it simply.  Starting over means you are leaving something behind, something you need to forget and something you do not need any longer in your present world.  Be it an ex, a prior job, a family problem, a friend, or a foe.  The best policy I know and I can tell you from experience that you will eventually know is that what happened in your life was for the best probably.  You will look back and see your blessing.

Personal growth is inevitable in times like these because you are forced to change and it takes inner strength to accept those changes with dignity and hope for tomorrow.  It takes a strong desire to face up to loss (if that is the case) and continue on as if nothing has transpired. 

Starting over - exactly what does it entail?  To me it simply means that we are NOT going to be doing things in the usual mannger.  It means we might not be seeing the same family or friends and our life pattern is changing.  It means we are going to do something fresh, something new, something positive and that should include something good for ourselves.  It can mean we are evoking new methods and principles of life.  THIS cannot be all bad, it is probably something you have needed anyway, because sometimes bad things happen to wake us up and help us live in reality.

My wish is that every individual who might read this post, realize that if you put your trust in your spiritual self and seek spirituality over the approval of other humans, your life will get easier.  We cannot appease humans totally, it is impossible.  So we have to live our life in the pursuit of doing what is right, what is good, what is noteworthy for us and who we are and in so doing we will find the strength to Personal Growth and Start Over.....it will come...
