Self Development: Not Just Another Hashtag

Writer's picture: Olivia HairstonOlivia Hairston

Sometimes, life..... it’s just life. Other times it’s this amazing adventure you’re so grateful for.

As we go along people hurt us. People lie. People change. However, we all evolve and there are moments when those around us no longer fit our vision.

It’s painful, it’s difficult, and it’s a time of mourning. But it’s also a time to let go. On the other hand, it is still a time to remain grateful for the next level you will be going to.

Developing yourself as you evolve is a key component to this thing called life. Remaining stagnant and staying in a place you no longer belong doesn’t hurt anyone but you.

When you feel the tides of life pushing you to a new destination, go with it. Holding on, trying to keep your feet planted firmly where the water is trying to sweep you away from will only make it harder when it’s really time to go. It will only make it more painful. ​

I have personally had two scenarios where letting go was not only warranted, but necessary. My heart hurt for such a long time. However, looking back it was just what needed to happen to catapult me onto the next level. I’ll be honest: I couldn’t see that then. In fact, I was so hurt and angry that allowed other’s actions to dictate how I chose to live for far two long.

​My advice today— Listen to your heart, breathe, and believe in the magic that will shape you. When you are no longer who you once were, no one can make you continue to be that person.

“You see, when you become intentional in life, you don’t accept life, you make life.” -John C Maxwell
