The closest story to describe this topic of Rebirth is that of the Eagle. At a point in the life of an eagle, the usual pattern of survival fails and it’s left to either die or go through the hard process of rebirth. This process takes the eagle about one hundred and fifty days to complete. That’s about five months.
After this experience, the eagle lives another thirty years in new strength and renewed capacity.
As humans, Rebirth is needed to move forward in life. It is needed at crucial stages in life. Rebirth should start when you recognize setbacks, unfulfillment, stagnation and unproductivity. When things are not working for you again or not working at all, rebirth is critically needed. This is a period for personal retreat.
Research reveals that a new habit is formed over a period of thirty days at the least. Repeating a process, consistently speaking and making pronouncements of what you desire going forward will help in forming the new habit.
Rebirth calls for change. It states that your usual way or pattern can no longer sustain or produce your desired results. This is when change is needed.
Many times, in order to survive we have to start a change process. We actually need to get rid of some old memories, habits and other past traditions. This involves a lifestyle change, a mental shift and even reshuffling of associations. It is only when we have been freed from past burdens can we take advantage of the present and make adequate plans for the future. A well utilized present guarantees a future with peace and progress.
Do not wait for the miracle of rebirth, it does not happen by itself. Rebirth rather is born out of personal efforts and an intentional drive to build a more productive life. It is a decision of a lifetime. It’s either you engage in it or you subscribe for that general life of mediocrity, dependency, slavery and limitations.
Be sincere with yourself. Tell yourself the truth. Identify your shortcomings and be ready to unlearn and relearn again and again. Imbibe the culture of consistently learning the new, right and relevant skills for the next level you desire.
Embedded in you is that capacity to reach the top. You can not just give up. What lies ahead is greater than all you have ever seen or achieved. Arise, allow the rebirth process to begin, and unlock the greatness in you.
Shalom!
