“New Key For Front Door Locks. The Old Key Will Not Work.”
This was a notice that I came across today. Soon, I will be getting new keys to access my front door.
You know I see a life lesson in almost everything, lol! So, it dawned on me that when it comes to walking in purpose and becoming all we were made to be, old keys that may have once worked before will not work for the new seasons in our lives.
We need new keys!
Key #1: Not everyone and everything should have access to the innermost parts of you. The sacred place of your heart. The ground of your dreams and vision. The steps taken as you walk in purpose. Giving the wrong people keys into these spaces in your life can result in delay, derailment, or destruction. Conversely, the right people can inspire, assist, and help you become who are created to be.
Key #2: Old ways of thinking and being will not help you access the new doors that are waiting to be opened for you. Those old, rusted, and bent keys will not work to unlock new seasons in our lives. We’ve got to clean up and throw out ways of thinking and doing that do not serve the best in us, our higher good. We must renew our minds and reset.
Key #3: Be excited to get your new keys! Don’t be afraid to shut old doors. They were shut for a reason. They walked out for a reason. They ghosted you and left you for dead for a reason. The opportunity wasn’t the right one for a reason. And that reason is YOUR PURPOSE!! All things are working for your good. Be thankful for the shut doors and the people who walked out because that only means that the right doors and people are coming to you.
Don’t dwell on the past. Live today and make life-giving choices in your now!! Invest in yourself. And watch for new keys to be given to you for those new doors made just for you!
