Growth

Growth takes time.
Growth takes patience.
Growth is going deep inside ourselves, always learning and adapting.
Growth isn’t about staying in our comfortable spaces.
Growth can cause us pain.
Growth may require looking from a different perspective.
Growth has the power to bring us to our knees.
Growth has the power to lift us up.
Growth can feel like a fire inside us, waiting to be ignited. Other times, growth can flow through us like water.
Growth can come fast and unexpectedly.
Growth can come so slowly it feels like we’re barely moving.
Growth can feel like we’re going over the same thing again and again.
Growth is picking up the pieces after ourselves.
Growth takes being open to using different tools at different times.
Growth is taking what we’ve learned and turning it into wisdom.
Growth is about taking that wisdom and turning it into power.
Growth is recognizing that everything we thought we knew may not be our truth.
Growth is about trying something we’ve never tried before.
Growth isn’t about playing small or feeling safe all the time.
Growth involves taking risks, believing that all of your hard work is leading to a better outcome.
Growth is about never losing faith in yourself and never letting fear take over.

Even though it can be painstaking, if we continue on our path, we will begin to see everything coming together and we regain our strength again.
As we continue to push toward our dream, we reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
And just when we though we had everything figured out, and nothing could go wrong, we find new layers and additions.
But if we remain resilient and trust in the process, we get to stand back and watch all of our beautiful work come to life... and in those moments is where we find peace.
