Radiant Transformation

I love this tree I found on my morning jog today. I was taken by the bursting brilliance of the red leaves and the gentle turning shades of the yellow in the midst of a vast supply of clinging green life. 

It is a picture of transition and change. A beautiful symbolism of how we ourselves experience transformation in our lives. 

Sometimes so gentle and slow that we hardly recognize it is happening. Other times we experience a bold breakthrough that catches our attention and we know that our lives will never be the same. 

If you hang out much around young children, you know this is exactly how growth happens. Consider learning to walk. Slowly. Faltering. One step forward and two steps back and boom on the bottom. And then suddenly - it's done. She knows how to walk. And by then she is not only walking, but running and there's no stopping her.
 
The slow and steady work that gives way to the suddenly.

Don't judge yourself when you are in the stumbling barely recognizable beginnings of a life change. It's challenging and kind of messy. Yes. Just the same, it is as beautiful as the changing colors in this tree if we only step back and see the big picture. Your can trust your suddenly will come and what was once hard will become easy. Your life will never be the same.

Living your best life is colorful, radiant, and filled with various shades of transformation. The depth of the bold breakthroughs are set within the shades of ordinary and and every color in between only adds richness. 

Remember to enjoy today everyday. This, my friends, is how you live in sync with the rhythm of grace and live your best life.
