BECOME UNRECOGNIZABLE
A few weeks ago, I was going through a few of my personal items and found a journal from 2019. Only a few pages were filled out, but when reading through, many memories flashed back to that season of my life.
Here is one line from the few pages that were filled out:
“I don’t feel like myself, I don’t feel energetic. I have created terrible habits for myself. I eat poorly, I bite my nails, I don’t exercise, I barely pray, I don’t read, and I don’t challenge myself. I don’t know who I’ve become.“
I look back at this journal entry and while it’s a bit painful to read, I don’t recognize the person who wrote those words. That person has and continues to transform.
No matter what place we are at in life, we should always be able to look back and proudly say that we have become someone that our past self wouldn’t recognize. And in 3 months, 6 months, a year from now, we should continue to feel that same way. The growth and transformations should never end.
The beauty of life is that we get to start over any day, any moment that we choose. One of my mentors always says that the life we are living now is the result of the decisions that our past self made - the choices we make today are the seeds, and while it takes a minute for those seeds to sprout, the results, good or bad, will show up.
As you continue to become unrecognizable, you may feel lonely, you may have people in your life try to hold you back, and you may have setbacks. But, always remember, the waiting season is the hardest. You will see the results if you keep going. That is what I tell myself everyday.
I am committed to becoming a different person by the time 2025 arrives and I want you to do it with me. Let’s start planting the seeds today, together.
