Pushing Past Limitations

Sometimes letting go of things and people has more to do with you then the other person. At times we hold onto emotions, experiences and events and they become all too consuming in our lives. We think that if we release someone that it will help us heal. The opposite can be true at times because it is the thorn in our side that often helps to reveal the beauty deep within.

Many times we reflection our insecurities and fears on other people because we are afraid to look at them in ourselves. We don't want to feel vulnerable or alone. We fail to realize that the biggest most important part of growing and blooming is to push past our limitations.

We have to be willing to push against the resistance in our lives and surrender our hearts to the possibilities. We often close up our hearts because of the fear we have of feeling pain. We don't want to let anyone in. We play the role of having it all together. We paint our pretty face and act like we are happy. When in reality we are falling apart inside and we feel lost and alone.

No one can heal that part within you. No one can make you feel something that you are not willing to feel on your own. You can't love someone else if you don't first love yourself. You can't set someone free if you don't first free yourself.

There is so much in my heart right now because I am beginning to bloom. I am beginning to let go of some very painful situations and emotions in my life. I have allowed myself to be attached and defined by these things and they have caused me such pain. They have left me scarred, bruised and so far from my true self.

I have learned to stop blaming others for my life and take responsibility for myself. I may have not caused the events to happen in my life but I have allowed then to control me. I have allowed them to steal my identity and essentially steal my power.

As I step into this new journey of my life I release everything that has held me back. I step out of the shadows of my pain, shame and disappointments. I know that I am much more then the pain and rejection I have experienced. I am strong. I am powerful and I deserve to live my life to the fullest.

I will take God's hand and continue to walk on this path feeling empowered and fearless as I press through every limitation that has tried to define me.
