Under Construction

When we think of total renovation, it is usually planned, budgeted, and prepared to simplify, enhance, and beautify our physical surroundings. That is a common renovation, but sometimes a total internal renovation of ourselves is also in order. It can be involuntary albeit necessary, and mandated by a higher calling. The process for both is the same. On any construction site, there are steps to successful development. First, the land or foundation must be prepared. The old buildings and unstable foundation is broken down and carried away by equipment capable of the task. The foundation is then leveled and reinforced to support the weight of the new structure. As the building is erected, it is done one floor at a time, so the prior construction assists in strengthening each new level. We are no different. Sometimes, we decide that it is time to go in a new and better direction. In preparation, we may need to be taken down to our core – our foundation – whether it is our decision or that of the Universe. It is a gift, since it prepares us for the new project that is ourselves. After our foundation is developed through self-awareness and honesty, the structure of renewal develops. It is our personal skyscraper that is built on courage, forgiveness, life lessons, humility, and wisdom. The struggle of the construction of you can be uncomfortable, however it is highly educational. The best part is it leads the way to the creation of a new existence. How long and how high you need to build is up to you, so enjoy being the general contractor for the construction of your new life.
