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.

The challenge is based on the reality that only people whom work hard are able to discover one's true potential and sense of self. For, only when people can overcome obstacles and challenges in life can one learn to help others. As such, the ability to work toward future visions and goals in the future is also essential to success.

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.

In taking a close look at one's inner self, it allows the individual to examine past and present behavior and experiences without criticism or judgment. Rather, doing so allows the individual to awaken to a new reality and new ways of doing things while also making peace with the dark side often present in the past. For, when an individual is in a tumultuous war with oneself, the individual is also most likely at war with society at large.

Acceptance is another key element when it comes to the challenge. For, individuals often learn to love and understand past experiences, even those related to the dark side. As such, acceptance and understanding when it comes to the characteristics of the rabbit are two of the most important aspects of change.

Regardless as to how an individual becomes aware of the rabbit, it is a presence which has been with all people since birth. While this is the case, the rabbit's characteristics often get lost or overshadowed due to the dark experiences in life. While this is the case, it is often the recovery process in which many people discover the light and love which the presence represents.

While many individuals may feel exhausted, torn and ragged before change takes place, change is still possible. In fact, when one has the courage to eliminate the dark aspects of the past, live in the present and work towards change in the future, change becomes a natural process. After which, it can often be easier to let go of the mistakes of the past and more forward into the future.
