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.

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.

By examining oneself and peeling back layers of past experiences, people can be reborn into a truer nature. While undergoing this challenge, people recycle through birth and death many times over during life. In this case, the word dying meaning to eliminate the old ways of life and coming to terms with the darker side which exist within all human beings.

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.

Another key element of the challenge is acceptance. For, when individuals can learn to understand and love past experiences, especially the broken dark aspects of life, only then can individuals find the velveteen rabbit inside. A rabbit which has been within each person through birth and all that which has effected our spirit during life.

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 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.
