One of the worst things that we can do is put a limit or end point on something that has the potential to be limitless. We stifle our growth, creativity, and our thoughts by adhering to socially constructed “normal” or “acceptable” ways of thinking, I encourage you to break that mold.
We have a tendency to try and put a definite period on people or life in general, but it’s important to realize that life isn't an endpoint, it isn't a set destination...it’s a journey of changes, growth, and experience. I think we try so hard to permanently define ourselves because the unknown scares us, our mind is only comfortable with the definition we see/live...until you force it out of the box.
Realize that when you start the journey through life you don’t automatically know the final version of yourself, all that you are aware of is who you are at that moment. You meet yourself along your journey though life...so you’re never permanently defined or always going to be the same person. Life is about progression, growth, and change so one of the most amazing things is knowing that you are getting better with time.
I titled this post “Defining” because I want everyone to do the complete opposite. By defining yourself and others you put limits on that miraculous mind of yours/theirs, and you stuff your untapped potential into a 4X4 locked box. Recognize who you are in this moment as a human being, and acknowledge that you will progress/change and become even better with time so don’t put an end/final point on something god has left open.
For one second drop: gender structure, racial superiority, sex entitlement, sexuality definitions, religious traditions, social standards of beauty, race, sex, and gender and just acknowledge that you are human...you are simply human. Once you've acknowledge that you’re simply human, and have dropped all those socially built barriers you can begin to live your life without walls...without limits...without the:
“I can’t...”
without the “I won’t....”
without the “I can never...”
without the “It won’t ever happen...”
and start living your life with the:
“I can”
“I will”
“It will happen”
“I believe...”
In my previous post I mentioned that your “aha” moments come on your journey to finding your new self...well, consider this a continuation of that. One of the most exciting things about life is knowing that it gets better...it may be great right now, you may have everything that you've ever dreamed of...but with life things can always progress and get better...what a beautiful thing to know that God loved you so much that he set up amazing rewards and “You’re doing it right” gifts along life’s journey. But, you can’t tap into those gift, and progress in life if you've already put a defined category/end state/label on yourself.
Can I offer you a piece of advice? Tap into a higher level of thinking, living, spirituality, mentality. Don’t place limits on something that’s meant to be limitless. Don’t define yourself by the standards of society, define yourself by the standards of your heart. Get to a place where you can lose everything, and still have Joy...not happiness, Joy. Joy is so much deeper than happiness...happiness is temporary, Joy is forever.
Oh & if you’re getting discouraged about how others define/put you in a box come to the conclusion that people who are quick to define someone are only searching for some level of superiority, some fulfillment...joy, it’s honestly not even about you in the end but it’s about their internal lack of direction and connection with who they are in that point of their life.
hopefully this touched you guys, made you think, and gave you an “aha” moment!
