The Velveteen Rabbit Challenge And Positive Change

By Virginia Foster


When it comes to eliminating darkness and finding the light in life, it can often be difficult for some individuals. However, when it comes to the Velveteen Rabbit Challenge, that is exactly the plan. For, just think how refreshing it would be to see people become more rather than less motivated, take pride in work and display a sense of self-mastery when life provides challenges and obstacles.

Based on the belief that only individuals whom work hard are able to discover ultimate potential, the challenge appears to be a good one. For, as has been proven, only when individuals can overcome challenges and obstacles can one then help others do so. In addition, the ability to work toward goals and visions and succeed becomes an essential aspect of life.

While the challenge does promote change, change can often time. Although, when having patience, compassion and trust, most individuals have been successful when going through the re-birthing process necessary for creating long lasting change. While this is the case, the process takes focus and commitment. For, it can often be easier to hold on to old ways of doing things rather than focusing on change in the present and future.

Through self-examination and peeling back layers of residual pain and trauma, individuals can begin the re-birthing process into a truer sense of self. In undergoing the challenge, most people go through several periods of death and rebirth. In this case, death meaning the end of doing things the old way and re-birthing into a better, new and different and reality.

By taking a close look within the inner-self, individuals can examine present and past behavior and experiences without judgment or criticism. In doing so, individuals are allowed to awaken to this new reality by eliminating the dark aspects of the past. For, when individuals are holding to residual emotional pain and discomfort, it can often be transferred to others in different ways, often without knowledge.

Two of the most important aspects of the rabbit and change are understanding and acceptance. For, unless an individual understands the peace, love and understanding the rabbit represents, it can often be difficult to accept the presence within oneself. While this is the case, it can often take people quite some time to become aware of the rabbit and associated characteristics.

Whether that be, the loss of loved ones, sickness or threats, the peaceful energy of the rabbit has always been there. While this is the case, the spirit of the rabbit often gets lost in the darkness of the storm. Still, it is this energy which helps guide individuals back to the light.

While some people may feel exhausted, torn and ragged before discovering the challenge, change can still take place. For, only when people have the courage to erase the past dark aspects and move forward, does change take place. At the same time, it is important to recognize positive changes so those changes can be nurtured and grow into seeds which can often produce a happier, healthier and more positive sense of self in the future.
