The Velveteen Rabbit Challenge And Personal Growth

By Virginia Foster


In life, there is darkness and there is light. In most cases, light tends to override darkness. While this is the case, The Velveteen Rabbit Challenge suggests that all people have past experiences based on the darkness which reside within all people. The basic premise, that if individuals can eliminate and let go of these experiences, it can be easier to love oneself and others regardless of past mistakes.

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.

In most cases, change takes time so individuals may not see the results of the challenge for quite some time. However, when approached with trust, patience and compassion, most people are successful when it comes to rebirth. At the same time, it is often easier to hold on to older ways of doing things than moving forward with change. As such, it is important that individuals do not let professional growth get in the way of achieving important personal goals and successes.

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 examining the inner-self, individuals are able to view present and past behavior and experiences without judgment or criticism. In addition, people participating in the challenge go through a re-birthing process and awaken to a new and different reality. After which, making peace with the dark side of self in the past becomes easier and allows the individual to let go and move into the future.

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.

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 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.
