More than any time any other time in our life, everything about us is very much aware of how the atmosphere is endlessly changing. In a world forced to take a different path, all things moving from the clouds to the yellowed leaves falling to the ground to the pesky playful squirrels, the dampened human desire only feels like a cloud burst. I find myself staring at a lot of trees. I walk through the forest every day. Listening. Wondering if they know history before it gets here. Somehow a tree is always prepared to take care of the human. Whether it’s providing shade on a hot summer’s day to acting like a large rock when winter’s wind and bite wants to cut through everything but it doesn’t make it through a tree. How does it know? There’s a lot of that sort of stuff being unveiled during this pandemic. How did Elevation Church grow from a planted church in a school cafeteria to being a global teaching tool by way of always being digitally active? They did this years before people began to believe? How did they know? How did the incredible staff at Zoom know that their visual product would keep human eyes and hearts in harmony by way of education, business meetings and family gatherings? How did they know? No day passes that I don’t bump into someone that wants to go back to the way life and living were before Covid. I stand there saying nothing. But I think a lot. They want to go back? Don’t you realize to go back you’ve got to one day move forward? We make the choice to stop, sit and patiently wait for change to take its rightful place. That’s doing nothing more than creating distance. Sure, being the watcher puts you there. But you could’ve been here. The human mind body and soul were created to endlessly grow. Like a tree. Endlessly reaching by way of limbs and root. Stretching outward and upward. From scraping clouds to nestling up to another tree by way of building a protective wall for the human. What do you know that your conscious mind isn’t allowing you to release? It doesn’t want you to be judged or injured by other people’s opinions or the stumbles that lead to failure. What do you know that needs to be known by others? Your subconscious mind has been patient with your endeavors too long. It’s the evil step child in the family that nobody wants to acknowledge. I mean what does your subconscious know right? This is the part of our moment together where you need to pull the lens of the camera back and look at the entire story. March 2020 forward. No matter how hard you tried to keep yourself and family protected during the pandemic by way of gifting energy to your conscious mind. How you have grown personally and professionally has been in the hands of your subconscious. That’s the game changer. It doesn’t want a bowling trophy for the tiny victories. It only wants to be trusted during these days of new invention.
