Welcome into the new season! What are you going to let live and die this season?
This is the first article I am writing based upon a Google Trend Search. Just being honest with you out the gate.
The first day of Spring… It means flowers are coming out. The sun is staying here longer. Days are longer. Life is just moving on forward. Out of the supposed darkness of winter, we enter a time of more light. For any religious folks, we are coming up to Easter. The rising of Jesus. The rebirth of a death.
What does Spring mean for us though?
Waiting for the words to spill out from the universe through me and onto this post. Let’s say spring is a time of reveal. Of new blossoms and the death of the old. I’d gather that each season has it’s perfection to it. Spring, like each other change of season represents something new. It represents something changing.
So, I’ll ask myself today – what do I want to let live in my life and what do I want to let die? What parts of me or that which is around me is no longer breathing life into me? That would be what I can let go of. What parts of me nourish me so much and make me feel so alive and perfect? That is which I can nourish even more.
Now, what I am saying is taking a true inventory of yourself and accepting everything exactly as it is – then deciding what can be watered and what can be trimmed.
If you watch the life of a plant, you’ll see that leaves come and leaves go. They live and they die. The roots grow in a pot so dense that the plant needs a new, bigger pot to grow. You, too are a growing and thriving person who deserves to let old leaves fall and new ones come in. You deserve a bigger pot, sometimes!
You’re a perfect, spiritual person and you need to water yourself in all the ways you can. Now, I listened to Oprah do an interview for Soul Sunday and she interviews an incredible woman that says you will know you’re on the right path when you are no longer betraying yourself. When you don’t do or participate in anything that makes you feel that you are betraying yourself. Whether that be a person, a job, a friendship, anything really that makes you feel that you are betraying yourself.
No one can be there for you but you! So be there for you! Like in the video, there is no greater hurt than that of betraying yourself.
When you are on the right path, you’ll know! So keep seeking wise person! Let your leaves come and let them go! Believe in yourself, because why not? You are capable! You’re made up of stars – didn’t you know?
