The Velveteen Rabbit Challenge And Positive Change

By Virginia Foster


While change can often be hard for some people, changes for the better can often benefit oneself and others. If seeking such change, individuals may want to explore the Velveteen Rabbit Challenge, a challenge to make positive changes in life based on a children's cartoon. For, just imagine how great it would be to see individuals become more motivated when it comes to professional and personal growth while also becoming more loving of oneself and others.

Based on the reality that only through hard work are people able to discover true potential, the challenge is a good one. For, only when individuals can overcome these challenges and obstacles can one help others do so. As such, the ability to succeed and work toward goals and visions in the future is essential.

While this is the case, it takes time to learn how to do so. In addition, compassion, patience and trust are also a big part in giving birth to a new sense of self. For, it is often easier to hold on to older ways of doing things rather than learning better ways. Although, at times, doing so can prevent personal and professional growth and get in the way of achieving goals and reaching success in different areas of life.

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.

Whether waking up to the rabbit due to sickness, threats, loss of loved ones or a relationship, it is often during trying times that individuals make this discovery. For, the light within can often become overshadowed during these and other life events. Whereas, when recovering from loss or other trauma, individuals often mature enough to recognize the importance of peace, love and understanding, all of which are characteristics of the light which the rabbit provides.

While people may feel ragged, torn and exhausted, change can take place. For, if individuals have the courage to erase the past and move toward the future, change is a natural process. It is important to be aware of these changes to assure that negative behaviors are eliminated while positive change takes place. After which, if individuals grow and nurture these changes, the changes will become seeds of growth into a happier, healthier and more positive life experience.
