The Pause Power - Self-Awareness Matters

Image
  In life we are pulled in many directions — deadlines, expectations, responsibilities, and the constant hum of “keep going.” For many of us, it feels easier to push through than to step back. But the truth is this: pushing through without pause often causes more harm than good. 🌿 Self-Awareness Is the First Step Self-awareness is more than knowing what you feel — it’s paying attention to the whispers of your mind, body, and spirit. It’s noticing when your shoulders are heavy or tight, when your thoughts feel cluttered, and may even be racing, or when your spirit longs for quiet. Too often, we ignore these signals until we reach a breaking point. Choosing to pause is not weakness. It’s wisdom.

The Light Of Truth

Have you experienced being in darkness, and that first burst of light hits your eyes, you instinctively shield yourself? Or maybe you close your eyes, squint, or lower your lids—not because you don’t want the light, but because it’s overwhelming at first. That’s what happens when you've been filled with light and refuse to return to darkness.

Your light doesn’t dim for others—it shines, illuminates. And those still in darkness may not be able to take it. It irritates, exposes, or even blinds them, not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because they haven’t yet adjusted.

Remember this, it’s not your job to dim your light ever. They’re the ones still in the dark. They need to adjust—not you.

They don’t hate you—they hate what your light reveals.
The truth makes them uncomfortable, so they turn away.
But hiding in darkness doesn’t make it go away.
Yes, truth is bittersweet…
But I’d rather live free in the light than stay shackled by a lie.

I don’t live to please people.
I live to please God.
And that means walking in truth—even when it costs me.
