People don’t change. Some people choose to evolve, others decide to stay the same, but they don’t change. To grow or to remain the same is a choice you have to make. It is on you, and deep down, you know it already.
Stop comparing yourself to other people. There is only one you, and there will never be another. If you want to compare yourself to something, you can, to some degree, compare yourself to a tree. Let us say that each of us is an oak tree corn, and the moment we come into this world, we are planted.
Of course, some of us are planted in better environments than others. The soil is more fertile, and there is more rain and just enough sunshine to favor the first part of the growth. I get it. You got planted in the shade; it does not rain much where you are, and the soil is hard and unfertile. And? So what? Can you look at yourself in the mirror and honestly say you do as much as possible in your situation? Are you reading as much as you can? Are you praying as much as you can? Are you talking to God as much as you can? Are you spending time with the right people and cutting out the wrong ones as much as you should? Can you really tell me that you are functioning at maximum capacity on the road to achieving whatever it is that you want?
I don’t think so!
The one crucial advantage you have over an oak tree is that you can move from where you are. You don’t have to stay in the same environment. The oak tree does not have that choice.
But the advantage the oak tree has over you is that no matter where it is planted, it will do everything to grow as much as that environment will allow it.
So, who are you, my friend? What are you made of? Tell me, I can’t wait to hear it. Your plans, your dreams. Everything! But then show me. Are you the dog that never bites?
Who are you?
Your genealogical tree, all of your ancestors, the Heavens, and God are watching you. How are you representing them? How are you representing humanity as a whole? Are you at least part of the solution in this generation?
You don’t need to change because you are not defective.
You don’t need to heal because you are not sick.
You don’t need affirmations and motivation because you are not lost.
But you can choose to evolve. You can choose to accept where you are and everything that you have done in your life up until this very moment and start to step in a different direction. It is a choice. It is your choice.
Do you want to do it?
I am asking you because when you choose to evolve, it gets painful. Why? Are you asking me why it gets painful when you choose to grow?
Why not? Should everything you dream of be handed to you on a silver platter? Really? Is that what you expect?
It is painful, so those who don’t want it bad enough may quit. It gets painful so that only the ones who deserve it may taste it.
Who are you? What are you made of?
Everybody has the same emotions. Everybody feels scared, lonely, lost, frustrated, anxious, misunderstood, unappreciated, unloved, underestimated, and so on.
Who are you? What are you made of?
You don’t know?
Why don’t you ask Him? You have access to the Architect and Builder of the universe. He made you. Ask Him why, and He will tell you.
Who are you? What are you made of?
With love, yours truly, Cristian.
