Brick Your Past, Not Your Future

I recall when one of our kids went to the laundry room in the basement of our home and inadvertently got themselves locked in. I guarantee that was never the original intent, in fact I am fairly certain that it happened in a desire to be hidden and in an effort to keep others out. Eventually we did have to break through the door in order to free him from his place of self-captivity.

Even as adults we often participate in the building up of the very doors, structures or walls that actually delay/deter our own progression. These walls are often built because of past hurt or disappointments, however they don’t just keep people out… they actually also keep us locked in

BUT WHY DO WE DO THIS?

Because past pain can keep us comfortable in the cocoon of the seeming-safety, and the "familiar" even sometimes hurtful can seem less scary than the unknown

WHAT CAN ONE DO

Trust not in what the Eyes can see but what Faith can. The “familiar” never gets you free and never gets you further than where you have been. So if it ain't been working it is time to get to demolishing.

The truth is that Walls are absolutely necessary, but in the wrong position… they can prevent you from finding the right path
