You have probably always been told to never burn your bridges behind you. When people speak about burning bridges, they are generally referring to the possibility that you may fail in your new goals and should have an avenue of retreat back to safety. This is an impossibility as well as being the wrong perception of burning your bridges. It also indicates a possible fear on their part that you may forget about them in your quest to live your life as you visualize it.
The notion that you should have an avenue of escape back to safety reinforces the ideas of lack, loss, and limitation. The relevancy of maintaining an avenue of escape does not and should not ever consist of a place that you were before. No doubt it is a harsh statement but nonetheless essential if you are to come to terms with your own greatness. True, it takes a lot of courage to move ahead, but the so-called avenue of escape back cannot be what it originally was. If you retreat back to where you came from, you will never be back to where you thought you were. The conditions you left behind are by their very nature different from what they were when you left.
You are probably also familiar with the expression, “you can’t go home again,” except perhaps as a guest. When you begin a transition by thinking of change, the people you are leaving behind must be antagonistic towards you irrespective of their cordiality. It is their nature to be so with rare exception. Besides, when you return over the bridges that you did not burn, you will inevitably run into the old “see, we told you” that they have been waiting with baited breath to say to you.
Burn your bridges behind you! It is the only intelligent thing to do when proceeding to a next point of being. People who wish to maintain a connection with you will construct their own bridges to keep up with you if they so desire. If they don’t, realize further that you have outgrown them. Regardless, they may react with indifference or arrogance and secretly hope for your failure. Once you open the door, you have to go through. If you do not, you will be sacrificing some of your self-love and will become angry with yourself. As a result, the Spirit of the Thing Itself will be unable to direct you according to what you may think you desire and will only deliver to you what is comfortable for you to accept irrespective of your having to sacrifice for the wrong reasons.
When we reflect on the events in our lives that have negatively affected us, we should laugh. In this manner it is easy to forgive anyone who has harmed us. However, we should not forget the causative events in order to protect ourselves from committing the same errors. We should also laugh at things we have done for what were considered the right reasons and take joy in our decision to have made the changes. You decided on the change, and so you should appreciate it.
Burning bridges should be looked at with a light heart as difficult as it may seem at times. Doing so, we can learn to take ourselves less seriously and concentrate further on the accomplishment we seek and know why we want to do it. Even if it is conviction with purpose and not an ego trip, some of the answers may still annoy us. Moving forward in life opens us up to further acceptance of our divine right to live in joy and freedom to experience all the good we want.
Considering the results of bridges not having been burned can be aggravating. The anger that caused us grief and stress and our old enemies’ negative sentiment and manipulative grace, even if it was not outwardly expressed, must still be contended with. Having burned the bridges, our new actions, words, deeds, thoughts and feelings concerning these matters will not and cannot be the same as before. Negative sentiment may have been the cause for not having proceeded in our desires and manipulative grace may have played a part as well. Work to negate these conditions with self-revealization acceptance. Demand of yourself that the Spirit of the Thing Itself deliver your newness. If you consider the bridges that you did burn, you will see where you may have been correct as well as incorrect in your thinking. Regardless, you did burn them and must not allow yourself to feel guilty about having done so. Life goes on and it is not good to beat yourself up for what you may now think was a mistake in judgment.
When you accept a new level of being, some of the people that tried to hold you back will intentionally cause you heartbreak and accuse you of everything they can think of to create feelings of guilt in you. It also creates animosity in those we are leaving behind. But, that is their problem. Ignore them! It is curious as well that when you begin to establish yourself on the other side of the burned bridge, new friends and allies will be there to welcome you with open arms. They will support you and lend you comfort in your moments of doubt and pain as long as you do not rely on them too much for your safety. Or, they may tell you to go back to where you came from, and you really cannot do that.
Burn your bridges behind you and understand the necessity to do so. It is the beginning of a new world and one that you are choosing to happen. Reinforce it with the following self-revealization acceptance.
