TRANSFORMING CHAOS INTO PURPOSE AND HOPE

Everyday we are bombarded with a wall of advertisi

Everyday we are bombarded with a wall of advertising on TV, social media, posters, newspapers, billboards, in fact everywhere we turn. They are declaring as loudly as they can that "We will not be happy or content if we don't own this!" Often the people in the ads look happy and content, playing to our desire to have life all worked out and together.
But take a moment to step back and recognise what's really going on and you will realise that the claims the advertisers are making are quite frankly ridiculous, and you are nothing more than a consumer to them, and they are appealing to something deep in your being that wants to be loved, successful, respected and "HAPPY!"

And the reason they do it? It makes them money, and a lot of it, because people buy into it!

Over the past few days we've looked at the dangers of comparing ourselves to others, especially people we don't know.
Remember that it's so easy to fake anything, to sell you a dream that can never be real for you, and may not even be real for the person trying to sell it to you.

If you want to build a life full of purpose and fulfilment then imitate someone you admire and look up to. Someone who has built their life on a solid foundation, who lives with integrity and a desire to help others. Be prepared to walk the journey and pay the cost to achieve your goals and above all be wise to the fake noise that so fills our lives!

"Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!
Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!"

When we compare our life to another we only see the finished product.

But, for every finish there is a start and following every start is a journey.

And that journey could have been littered with pain and struggle, because that's what shapes our character.

So observing a life that we dream of having, or a person we would like to be ignores the journey that person has walked to become who they are. (And very often it's fake anyway - more on that tomorrow)

So when we compare we are wanting the finished product, BUT WITHOUT THE JOURNEY. We want the shortcut to a beautiful body, or an amazing house, or an incredible life, but without paying the cost.

Remember there's always a path to be walked and a price to be been paid. Without these there is no depth or foundation to our character - it will be hollow and empty.

"Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed through a total reformation of how you think."

Why do we feel it necessary to compare ourselves to others?

We all do it at times - wish that we could have what they have, look the way they do and even live the life they live.

If we could be completely honest with ourselves we would likely admit that comparing ourselves with another is toxic to the core. We are effectively saying one of two things -

1. I'm not happy with who I am - I want to be someone else, or
2. Look at me! I'm so much better than them!

One of the biggest challenges in life is to accept and love ourselves!
Unless we learn to do that basic thing, we will struggle to find any kind of peace or purpose in our lives and we will find it hard to love others well.

"You even formed every bone in my body when You created me in the secret place;
carefully, skillfully You shaped me from nothing to something.
You saw who You created me to be before I became me!"

Our mind is incredibly powerful and has control ov

Our mind is incredibly powerful and has control over most of who we are - our thoughts, emotions and actions - how we perceive a situation, how we hear a conversation, what we believe about another person and even what we believe about ourselves.

"Your Life is a reflection of your thoughts. If you change your thinking you change your life!"

So if we want to make any changes to our life, building bridges to a better future rather than creating barriers, then we must get our mind in the right frame. If we don't we will forever be fighting it's opposition and it knows every trick in the book!

"You're not good enough!"
"What's the point?"
"This is too hard!"
"What are you really going to achieve?"
"You can't change anything!"

Ever faced those questions when you recognise a need to change something in your life?

Our mind also controls our habits, and it may surprise you to know how much of your daily routine is habitual. And our mind is very reluctant to give up control!

So how can we change the way our mind works?

For me it begins with mindfulness and learning about my thought processes, why I might react a certain way or think a certain thing. Then it's about changing unwanted habits, one at a time and replacing them with new, healthy and good ones.

It sounds pretty simple in practice, but it does take some hard work and honest soul searching.

You have to be intentional about changing your life.

Self reflection is something we rarely give ourselves time for. Mostly because it's difficult and we don't always like what we find.

We may run from the idea of looking too closely at our lives because it can be overwhelming to face up to our mistakes and our fears. It certainly takes a brave person to do it.

But if we keep running from ourselves then nothing will ever change. All those hopes and dreams hidden inside can never be realised.

If we want to change we have to be intentional about it. We have to want to change and we have to plan for change.

Ii always comes down to our motivation - why we want it? If we want it enough we'll work hard for it. Having someone alongside us, sharing our journey, is invaluable for support and accountability. Our chances of success will rise dramatically if we have someone to walk with us.

If you recognise that there are things in your life that need to change then don't keep ignoring them, or pushing them down.

Recognise it, accept it, find someone to support you and be intentional about changing it.

Rediscovering your dreams Can you remember the dr

Rediscovering your dreams

Can you remember the dreams you had when you were younger? Life was much simpler and you knew what you wanted to be "when you grew up."

You may have imagined the way in which your life would pan out, where you would live, what job you would have, how you would spend your time, what you would like to accomplish, who you would like to become.

But time and our journey through life can dull those dreams. You may find yourself wondering how you arrived at the place you currently are, what decisions and choices led you to navigate the path you walked?

Many of our childhood dreams were simple hopes for a good life, as we understood it at the time, not aware that life is complicated and struggles are a regular part of it.

But there are important dreams buried in our hearts. Things that we would love to do, to accomplish, to become. And those are the dreams that we need to rediscover because they help to reveal the person we really are, to uncover our true identity.

Embracing them and pursuing them can help us to discover who we were made to be.

Roots.

The paths we take
Lead us to the lives we make
But the roots we form
Help determine who we become

Having strong roots, or a solid foundation, or an anchor that holds is essential as we journey through life.

Without it we will be at the mercy of the wind, storms and challenges of life, being blown this way and that, unstable, un-secure and uncertain.

Deep roots help us to grow strong and healthy, reaching high into the endless sky of opportunity.

How deep are your roots?

What are they growing down in to?

What brings you joy?

Can you think of all the things that bring you joy?

Your list is more likely to include people and activities, rather than things you own.

We are constantly bombarded with adverts telling us that if we just owned this, dressed this way, drove this car, looked this way then we will be happy.

And the reason they make these seemingly ridiculous claims is because we buy into them. If we didn't they wouldn't waste their money on advertising.

The things that really matter in life, those things that can bring true fulfilment and joy can't be bought. They are found in the enjoyment and sharing of life with others, in spending time with those we love, forming genuine connections and experiencing life together.

Shipwreck or Butterfly?

So do you feel like the shipwreck?

Washed up
Stuck
Not going anywhere
Slowly fading away
Dark and decaying

Or the butterfly?

Spreading your wings
Ready to fly
Free to go wherever the breeze takes you
Beautiful and special

There are times in life when we feel on top of the world. We are on the mountain top and we can see the possibilities of life stretching out in front of us.

And at other times we are walking through the shadows, deep in the valley. We feel like we're going nowhere, that everything ahead is a struggle and we can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Remember that when you are in the valley, feeling washed up like an old shipwreck, it's in those moments that our character, who we are becoming, gets tested and formed. No-one likes to be in that place, but we all have to go through times of struggle.
It's in those times, when we feel stuck, that we need to reach out for a helping hand. Find someone to walk with you, to be by your side, to encourage you and spur you on.

Those valley moments also make the mountain top times so much sweeter, like the butterfly, ready to fly with a world of endless opportunities ahead of us. Enjoy those times.

But also remember that no matter how hard things get you are special, unique, amazing, stronger than you think, loved fiercely and valued.

Do you need to slow down? We all experience times

Do you need to slow down?

We all experience times in life when things get busy.

But living in a constant state of busyness is bad for our health on so many levels.

If we know this to be true why do we so easily accept it as a normal state of life. It's almost as if we surrender to the fact that busyness is how it is and how it will always be!

You may catch yourself asking, "I wish things would slow down for just a moment.", or "If only I could find a minute to myself."

Well the obvious news is, that creating those moments of space in your life, is totally up to you. No-one else can make it happen for you.

If you want it enough then you'll find a way.

Creating regular moments throughout our day to breathe, enjoy the moment and allow our minds to calm and refocus can have an amazing impact on our lives. It can totally transform the way we cope with pressure and stress.

So what's stopping you?

Discovering my identity?

We all have a unique identity. It's the thing that makes you - you!

It includes your personality, your dreams and your passions.

It's been there since you were formed.

Life, however, has this amazing ability to crush our true identity with it's pressures, demands, challenges and pain.

We end up believing things about ourselves that are simply not true, false identities, things that others have said to us our entire lives, and we unconsciously believe them and live into them.

My journey to understanding my true identity has been liberating. Yes I've had to be intentional about it, creating space to honestly examine my heart and life.

And the result? It's been liberating. Understanding who I am, who I was made to be, has brought a fresh perspective towards life as well as a deeper sense of freedom and purpose. I have a clearer vision as to where my life is heading. I know it's going to be an adventure! I'm able to say "No" to things that I know will distract me from my journey, which allows time to pursue my passions and the things I was created to do.

Learning to understand who you truly are is life changing!

Loved the whole experience. Having the space, combined with your gentleness and considered approach, really supported me to enjoy and receive. I most definitely felt like I'd been on a retreat. For at least three days afterwards I felt chilled, relaxed and so much more reflective than usual. Thank You.
