I’m slowly learning that life has a funny way of working itself out. I’m slowly learning that life has a way of revealing your most burning questions when the time is right and it has a way of bringing you justice when you’re no longer dwelling on how unfair it is. I’m slowly learning that life has a funny way of just flipping everything around. The people who once meant the world to you could pass you by and you don’t feel a thing. The people who hurt you end up drinking from the same cup they poisoned you with. The people who came into your life when the timing was wrong suddenly reappear when the time is right so you can start over with them.

The truth is, we’re not scared of meeting someone new; we’re not scared of love or the butterflies that come with it. We all want to be loved but what keeps us guarded is not the fear of love, it’s the fear of pain. We’re not scared of loving again, we’re scared of being heartbroken again. We’re not scared of opening up and being vulnerable, we’re scared of exposing ourselves to the wrong person. We’re not scared of being loved, we’re scared of being broken. We’re not scared of being with someone new, we’re scared of wasting our time again.

You are already that which you want to be and your refusal to believe it is the only reason you do not see it. ~ Neville Goddard #lawofattraction #lawofassumption #nevillegoddard

What happens when what you were once so sure of turns into what were you thinking? What happens when the people who were once the closest to you become the people you don’t get along with? What happens when you feel like everything you were taught in the past is totally irrelevant to your present? Sometimes you wonder if this is part of growing up or if you are having some kind of identity crisis or if you’ve really just outgrown who you used to be and the life you used to live.

People can like you or even love you but if they don’t value you, their love will never be enough. The only way for you to feel that love is to feel valued, because you can love something and neglect it, you can love someone and still treat them poorly. Loving something or someone doesn’t guarantee that you will do whatever it takes to take care of them or protect them or keep them. You only do that with the things and the people you value, the things and people you are really afraid to lose because I have learned that people can love you but still not appreciate your presence in their lives. People can love you and still not know your worth.

It’s time to honor the transitions of your life. The phases where you’re still figuring your next steps out, the times where there’s more uncertainty than stability, the times where the future is not clear and you don’t know how things will unfold. It’s time to embrace these times and acknowledge them as times of personal growth and evolution, as part of the learning curve of life. You won’t always have the right answers, you won’t always stick to the same plan because you change and your circumstances change. It’s time to stop letting the world tell you where you should be in your life or how successful you should be at a certain age or how much you should be making. It’s time to stop letting other people dictate your priorities or your values.
