We grow more and more personality traits, we think we're getting bigger and better, and then the realization comes that we must become something else. We become more by letting go of the shell, we become awake at last. We're transforming, not dying. We're becoming who we truly are meant to be. We're all tough nuts to crack, but crack we must if we are to truly express who we really are.
Transformation usually happens over time, just as the tree grows year by year.
We are not controlled by the outside world, we are not victims to circumstances around us. Yet, we resist, we hold on to the past, to the old way of thinking, our old habits that we think are us, but gradually we relax into our new being, we find we're responsible for our lives, we can be fully engaged and create our circumstances. We learn that we reap what we sow, if we want love we must give it first. Yes, we must first give to receive. We embrace the Beloved, our true nature and live in the greatest freedom and joy that is our birthright.
