Often times I hear people say, “I’m starting a new journey” or “I’m beginning a new adventure”, but a lot of people don’t speak about where they are starting from…what led them to this new beginning?
It got me to think about a concept of starting from the end of something.
See the perspective with this is we aren’t beginning something totally from scratch but from a former experience that no longer serves us in this new season.
For example, let’s take dating. Most of us have dated our share of people; some of those relationships were successful and others we never want to speak of again. However either way, we have learned from those experiences. For myself, I ended the season of figuring out what I wanted, building my confidence and knowing who I am to start this new season where I date confidently and intentionally. The experiences and lessons learned from the past will propel my new start in this area.
Now, this does not only pertain to relationships of course but all aspects of life. Wherever one journey ends, something else will be birthed. Don’t neglect the end, embrace it. Embrace what you learned, what was lost and what was gained to have a better beginning.
The past few weeks I have been grieving an end that’s taken place with one of my creative projects and it wasn’t until the other day that this concept of starting from the end dropped in my spirit. Yes it’s painful, yes it’s frustrating, yes it’s all the things but I’m not starting from zero. I know what needs to be done differently and I know what changes need to be made to have the outcome I desire. This new start, this new journey is going to look very different than the end of my last one.
If I can leave you with anything, know the end of something should be acknowledge just like the start of a new journey.
Change your perspective, start from the end.
Love you loves
