Letting Go & Letting Grow: Beware of the Toxic Things


I know - I know! You have seen a huge focus from me on toxic circumstances. But all things work together for a greater good-and sometimes certain people at certain life stages do not work well. Very much oil and water-they don’t mix!

Here is where the confusion begins to set in-how can something/someone that seemed good or seemed needed be so bad for you. (Well, honestly it was a superficial want…) Then I came across a quote that made it all seem, just a bit clearer “you cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick.” You must move out of your current circumstance - check out my previous post of Freedom Aint Easy. 

I have been in some text book toxic environments, however by the grace of God to decided enough was enough. What makes freedoms and growth so hard is that the same things we thought we loved, masked in a beauty; are rotting us from the inside. Unfortunately, we often don’t realize it until after we have gotten to close-sometimes too close to easily get away. Avoiding and dismissing all the signs of decay and despair; we try to fix or work with something that is well beyond our abilities. 

Ironically, I believe that this type of circumstances tends to like to attract a person that glows from the inside. Because ultimately, the circumstance is seeking to growth and the glow, however it does not possess those qualities. So, the second-best option is to take it from someone that already does.

The beauty, light, and joy that you possess, overtime they will dim. Slowly taking away all the traits that others love best about you. Creating a decay inside of you-until you look in the mirror one day and don’t recognize yourself. I had to accept that I am not a rehabilitation center and I cannot expand my physical, mental and emotional energies on fixing. When the fixing - starts as predisposition of internal condition. 

P.S. I tell you this because it seems as though no one ever talks about their failures. We only see there highlight reels on the internet, but I consider myself to be more of an open book. TRUST me - I have gotten some things so terribly wrong! Call a spade a spade.

Metamorphosis

Image
I have long wondered if the major changes we face are designed to happen to us. A very intentional design, a very Godly design. However, the change in a person is only as effective as the person's interior condition to accept such a change. The metamorphosis is much like a caterpillar that was designed to be a butterfly. "For I know the plans I have for you." Jeremiah 29:11 A caterpillar undergoes a complex biological metamorphosis;  this process is the only way to become a butterfly. Although humans do not undergo the same complex natural process of metamorphosis. We undergo life phases that shape us and who we are to become. The metamorphosis occurs because the caterpillar is mutating into its adult form, so it can procreate and expand the species - a clear purpose. In human terms, we all have to develop into our adult form with a clear purpose. What differs from our human experience in metamorphosis and the caterpillar's biological process of metamorphosis is the

Put the Fire Out from Inside the House

It’s all a system, a game, rather. For a long time, we played, and a few of us played with success and tremendous personal gain. Many of those before us paid with time and life and are silently mourned. But I have learned that you have to be in the system to fix the system. You must know who plays the designed system. How the designed system is played. Where the designed system is played. But most critical is learning people well enough to understand why they play the designed system. Once inside, you use the system to change the system, process by process. Step by step. Moment by moment. You put the fire out from inside the house. The problem is that far too few of us get this unspoken, but all are fully aware of the rules. Some of us need to understand our grace and purpose in the system. As to not get lost to the system. But when you want to change something, you want to make a difference. Learn. Learn what is happening, where it is happening, how it’s happening, who’s it happen
