Chapter 1: The Essence of Easter

Easter is a time when many Christians celebrate with the phrase, "He is Risen. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia." While I'm not here to advocate for Christianity, I believe there are valuable insights to glean from various beliefs, regardless of our personal traditions.

One crucial aspect of the Easter story that many people are aware of but often overlook is that Jesus first faced death. In all areas of life, we encounter a necessary cycle of life and death. Easter symbolizes not just spiritual resurrection, but also the broader concept of this cycle that permeates our everyday existence.

Many of us pursue different forms of "life," whether that be success in business, romantic relationships, physical fitness, or health. The desire for these aspects of life can be all-consuming, yet we frequently forget that achieving them requires a process.

We often overlook the fundamental truth that to attain life in any form, something must first die. This crucial step is often neglected, and ignoring it can hinder our pursuit of the life we yearn for.

To achieve business success, for instance, we must identify what needs to be let go of. Is it outdated strategies or perhaps a team that is stretched too thin?

When it comes to romantic love, we must ask ourselves what attitudes or behaviors might need to change for the relationship to thrive. Are we holding on to pride or constantly questioning the relationship instead of appreciating the present?

In terms of physical fitness, are we too comfortable in our routines? Are we lacking the necessary knowledge to reach our fitness goals?

And for our bodily health, are we mindful of our dietary choices? Are we overwhelmed by conflicting advice without taking the time to evaluate what truly works for us?

It's essential to recognize that this is a cyclical process. Over time, different aspects of our lives will need to be reassessed and adjusted to facilitate new growth.

So, what in your life needs to be relinquished for you to achieve the life you desire?
