The term “romanticize your life” causes you to seek the joy and beauty that surrounds you daily.
This post is all about ways to romanticize your life.
Are you ready? Let’s geaux!
What Does It Mean To Romanticize Your Life
Romanticizing your life is essentially embracing your inner child. Do you remember when you were little and you had an extreme excitement for life?
You wanted to participate in any and everything! If mommy was washing dishes, you wanted to help.
When daddy was cooking, you wanted to be included. Even when your teacher called for a helper, you were down for the job.
Romanticizing your life is all about getting the excitement back for life like a little child.
A child doesn’t look for “huge wins” or “monumental victories” like an adult. They take the ordinary and create the extraordinary all on their own through the power of imagination.
There is no mundane with a child and honestly no one gave you permission to grow up.
Why did you grow up Bestie? You were never designed to grow up, but you were created to grow older with maturity, knowledge, and wisdom.
Romanticizing your life is getting back to your true self in every little thing. You should be enjoying every experience you have because you’re not in this life to survive.
You were strategically sent here to impact the earth with Heaven’s culture and romanticizing your life is just a start.
Romanticizing Being Alone
Being alone doesn’t mean that you’re lonely. It’s completely normal to desire to spend time alone, in fact, it’s very healthy!
Always being around others makes it harder to hear God and understand yourself as an individual. If you’re always sharing ideas with others, when do you have time to think of your own?
All an idea is is a verbally expressed thought. You think it in your mind then you say it out of your mouth.
There’s a level of importance in spending time alone and many unexpected benefits in doing it.
How much time do you intentionally spend alone? I know it can be hard to get away sometimes, but nothing is impossible.
Is it that you’re afraid to be alone? If you are, it’s okay.
The truth is being alone is your base nature. God created one man from the soil and walked and talked with him in the garden of Eden.
It wasn’t until God decided to call forth a helper that he got a chance to experience another human. This entire concept is usually spoken about in regards to a romantic relationship. But it applies to all types of relationships.
You can’t have relationship goals without first having a relationship with God and then yourself.
It’s important to always actively pursue relationship with God and self even after you get into a relationship with another human.
Why Is It Important To Romanticize Your Life
Do you enjoy love? If you’re a human being then the answer is yes because you were created by Love himself. God is love and you were created in his image after his likeness (Genesis 1:26).
To be created in God’s image means that you were created in his nature. Well, his nature is to love. You also have the ability to love, but the catch is that you have to receive it from God first.
You can’t give anything that you haven’t received. One of the key components of romanticizing your life is loving yourself and learning to love the life you’re leading.
You may have been through some turmoil, but look on the brighter side because you’re still here! God isn’t done with you and there is so much potential packed in you that needs to come out.
I don’t know where you are in life. I’m not sure if you’re feeling stuck or looking for ways to not give up, but I do know that you have a reason to live.
It’s your right to live and there is a Kingdom that was conferred unto you long before you were born (Luke 22:29). You need to romanticize your life simply because of who and what you are.
You are a human being that was created in the image of God after his likeness to have dominion over the fish of the seas, birds of the air, the livestock, all of the earth, and everything that crawls on the earth (Genesis 1:26).
The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he gave to the children of man (Psalm 115:16). I know it may not seem like it from the ways of this world, but you are in this world and not of it.
5 Unusual Ways to Romanticize Your Life
1. Break Free From The Systems Of This World
There’s a set of principles that you can follow that is based on the culture of Heaven. You don’t have to follow the ways of this world.
The first thing you have to do is seek the Kingdom and his righteousness and then everything else will be added to you (Matthew 6:33)
The Kingdom is not a religion. Religion is man’s search for God, but God came down to restore man. Bestie, the Kingdom of God is about a government.
Jesus Christ came to bring a government; not a religion (Isaiah 9:6).
A kingdom is the governing influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his personal will, purpose and intent, producing a culture, values, morals, and lifestyle that reflect the king’s desires and nature for his citizens (Myles Munroe).
If you want to live a life of abundance, you have to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Not by dying and going to Heaven, but by living in Heaven’s culture while on earth.
Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is your first step to entering the Kingdom. He is the door according to the Bible. If you want to accept him, all you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead.
Here’s a prayer for you:
Lord Jesus. I am a sinner in need of a Savior and a Lord. I repent (change my thinking) and I turn to you. Today, I invite you into my life as Bestie Forever. Come into my life and complete me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
2. Understand Who You Are Holistically
As a creation, you need to understand what you are. Yes, you’re a human being, but what’s that?
You are spirit, soul, and body in that order. Your true self is your spirit and your mind, will, and emotions make up your soul. The body you are in is like your “house”.
It’s very important to learn about who and what you are to properly take care of yourself. Most people think that they’re just a body and some know that they’re a spirit but never feed that part of themselves.
Romanticizing your life requires you to learn, understand, and feed your entire being.
3. Realize That You Were Chosen To Be Here
According to science, there are at least three hundred million sperm released during sex, but only one can fertilize the egg. Do you think that it’s a coincidence that you’re here?
Let me tell you: it’s not! Honestly, it doesn’t matter how you got here. God predestined you to be here on earth for a specific set of purposes.
There was an original intention behind why you were created. Bestie, a million people can be saying the same thing but until it comes from you, a plethora of people won’t be able to resonate with it. That’s how much of importance you are and how your existence matters.
You matter and you need to start living like you know it even when you don’t feel it!
4. Choose The Spirit, Choose Yourself
God has a standard for your life and honestly it won’t always be easy to walk in it. The thing you need to know is that you’re never alone.
God is calling you to a higher version of yourself in this very moment so choose him. Choose to follow the Spirit and you’ll always find yourself choosing yourself.
Choosing the Spirit means to listen intently for what God is telling you to do and obey him. If he told you to stop eating certain things, obey him.
He told you to stop going to that club so stop going. If he told you to break up with your boyfriend of eight years then you need to do it and trust that God will take care of you.
Bestie it’s time to romanticize your life by choosing the Spirit which is ultimately choosing yourself.
5. Realize You’re Not Normal
Bestie, your life can seem normal but trust me it’s not. It may seem like everyone around you is having so much fun and your life is boring.
Honestly right now you may not have many people to talk to. Suicidal thoughts may be ringing in your ear but let me speak to your spirit really quickly.
Nothing about your life is normal because God has set it up to where you’re the one who is going to save your entire bloodline.
You’re the one who is going to turn a generation towards Christ and finally be able to know what it feels like to be free.
Your whole family has been suffering with depression and anxiety. You have been going in and out of life trying to survive, but you are the one.
Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of the entire world was born in a manger. Please don’t forget that. He was always King even in that manger and you’re no different from him.
Bestie, there’s a million examples of how where you start is not where you finish so don’t fall for the illusion of the enemy.
There is nothing about you or your life that is normal. You are a spirit having a natural experience. Everything about you is supernatural.
Romanticizing your life is embracing your inner child because that is how you enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 18:3). It’s getting back to your true self and learning about yourself holistically. My prayer is that you do just that in Jesus name.
I love you Bestie and God loves you even more!
