The Phoenix Rises: All Endings Come with New Beginnings

Join us in this segment of "Empowered in Every Call" discussion on The Phoenix Rises! 

We have discovered that is a legend about a mythical creature that can regenerate and self heal after a fiery ending that seems impossible to come back from, the phoenix.  The phoenix is a beautiful bird that has a cycle of life, death and rebirth.  It is said that when the phoenix grows weary it builds a special nest, then stands in it and is consumed by fire.  Out of the ashes of the old phoenix a new phoenix is born, rising with the morning sun to live again.

As humans we tend to look upon endings as a tragic event that comes with a sense of permanency.  That once you have stumbled upon an ending you can never go back, you can never recapture what once was. Endings can make you believe that there is nothing beyond the finality of it all.

The good news is, as humans we are also a regenerating creatures, much like the phoenix.  We have an amazing capability to self heal. Our endings often come with new beginnings.  However, to reach those new beginnings it is sometimes necessary to burn off everything that once was to start anew. 

What is that saying, “when you reached your rock bottom, you can only go up from there”?  Or what about, “you can never change things by fighting the existing reality; you only change them by building a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”

Whenever I have an ending in my life I draw upon the energy of the phoenix. It serves as my guide to help me through my endings and into the morning sun!  I ask you to do the same and find comfort in knowing that all endings come with new beginnings.

As the phoenix rises so shall you!
