Sylvia Marina If you could Turn back Time!.........
Have you known the experience of having been away from your home town for a few months or years and when you
return ... friends, family say “you’ve changed”!
Of course you changed. You grew up while you were away. You learnt to think for yourself, make decisions, be
responsible for your choices and accountable for their outcomes. It is called experience. While you were away, you
also began to forge a path towards your dreams, discover your strengths, your true life purpose and not the path
others wanted you to take.
If you were a bit like me, when you returned to your home town, you may not have fit into the life you once had or
knew.
Some of your friends had made new friends, got married, had children, found new careers, moved to new
neighbourhood, built different paths into social, cultural, community or business circles and that part of their life has
taken on a life of its own ... and you may not be partially or fully included in that part of their lives anyway ... you may
feel excluded.
Seeds of negativity or doubt may have started to grow and developed into reality.
I want life to be just like it was, when I ...
I liked you just the way you were then ...
I yearn to feel accepted again ...
I want to have the body size, weight and shape I had when I ...
Most people in their lifetime have ‘an awakening’... it’s at that time, like the caterpillar going through the chrysalis
stage; the person emerges like a new butterfly. While you were sleeping, going to university, doing the ‘gap year’
backpacking in Europe, North or South America, you were growing up and changing with each new experience.
Imagine the butterfly that leaves the cocoon community as a caterpillar and one day flies in and says, ‘hello, I’m the
one you called caterpillar! Bewilderment would set in as there is no resemblance to its old self ... the Caterpillar has
developed.
It’s not possible for things to be like it was. In reality, it’s not possible to turn back time. Once the caterpillar
transformed, dried its wings and revealed its true self, not a hint of the former self was evident. The hidden DNA
colours unfolded, it had a new life to fulfil.
As a living organism, you and I have colours and creativity, talents and abilities, habits and behaviours hidden in our
DNA waiting for the moment when those emotions and abilities will be developed and expressed. We remember the
good, the difficult, the misunderstood parts of our self-mastery development!
As time moves forward we cannot be held captive to our past or like an undeveloped caterpillar we emotionally
shrivel and die. By nature’s design we grow to evolve.
A butterfly does not see all of its own colours, but we the observer admire its entirety as it silently enters and leaves
our field of vision, we often wish it would stay a little longer; if we could turn back time and capture that pure beauty
for just another moment.
Each butterfly goes through a process to fulfil its purpose, to show all its colours – nothing is hidden in the
transparency of its fully extended DNA!
If you have been reluctant to reveal your full potential; if you have spent a year just nudging your intelligences, now is
the time to move beyond any structures of regret and leap out of your chrysalis to
engage 2014 with new freedom and wings.
