My Sunday Reflections: A Journey of Awakening and Self-Discovery 🌱
These past few days, I’ve been in a reflective mood, thinking about the kind of year it’s been.
For me, this year has been a year of spiritual awakening, self-discovery, and unlearning things I once thought were fixed.
Growing up in a Christian home, my understanding of God and spirituality was largely shaped through the lens of religion. But this year has opened my mind to a deeper awareness of consciousness, life, and the way things unfold.
One of my biggest lessons has been learning to move from “By Me” to “Through Me.”
For years, I’ve been a doer. I believed that if something needed to happen, I had to make it happen through my own strength, effort, and determination.
But lately, I’m learning something different.
I’m learning to loosen my grip, recognise resistance, observe more, and allow things to flow rather than constantly forcing outcomes because I’ve set a timeline for myself.
I’m beginning to understand that not everything requires more effort. Sometimes, it requires more awareness, alignment, and trust in the process.
Even the way I see social media is changing. I see it as a space to share my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge. If something I share brings clarity to someone, helps them make a better decision, or positively impacts their life, then I’m grateful to have been a vessel through which that value was delivered.
I certainly haven’t figured it all out. I’m still learning, unlearning, growing, and becoming more conscious of why I do what I do.
And perhaps that’s the beauty of the journey.
Growth isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes, it’s about becoming more aware of who you are and learning when to act and when to allow.
So here’s my Sunday question for you:
Have you ever experienced a season in your life when you realised that you needed to stop forcing things and start allowing them to unfold? What did that season teach you?
I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. 💜
