When a snake advances to different stages of its life; the process of advancement is the shedding of it’s skin. The equivalence of that process  for human beings are the shedding of environments and people.

The bible says that when God called Abram, who later became Abraham; God did not ask him how his family was. Instead, the first thing God said was remove yourself from your country and Kindred. In other words, separate yourself from your environment and those that you are familiar with.

Now this may seem somewhat harsh, but this is God’s way of separating the sheep from the goat, so that the sheep could hear from the Shepard clearly. One of the initial signs of promotion or elevation to ones life begins with discord or challenges with those that are closest to you or the place that you are currently at; it seems as if you have outgrown it or it is rejecting you for no apparent reason.

In reality, your season has come to an end for those folks and the environment. All that you needed from them has been achieved, and simultaneously qualified you for the next stage of your life.

To bring them along with you, would disrupt this natural growth process that has been specifically designed to elevate you.

People that are not progressing in life are those that refuse to let go of the people and places that has exhausted its purpose for them. This is why death is necessary, because life gives purpose and death is the conclusion of purpose.

Anyone who resists this natural growth process literally welcomes a life of frustration, confusion and repetition of places and people that they know are hindering them from achieving more that life has to offer.

So, bid farewell, and proceed forward with the expectation and confidence that better is ahead awaiting your arrival.
