FRIDAY THOUGHTS #149: PRUNING

 Pruning.

Pain gets your attention. Every painful moment in your life has shaped the person you are. You've put in the inner work to understand that how you were programmed as a child has nothing to do with you, however, becoming intentional with reprogramming negative and self-limiting beliefs is your responsibility. You know that. 

You also know that pain is simply used as a mechanism to get our attention that it's time for us to make an adjustment. When we make those corrections, we live fuller lives. Blessings in disguise. The deeper the pain, the bigger the growth opportunity.

All of my greatest blessings have come after a storm. The Bible often talks about pruning. When you prune a tree you cut down branches, not to kill the true, but to allow new growth to occur. 

In life we will all go through our pruning moments or even seasons...listen, I know it hurts, but it's oh so damn good for you. Allow your new growth to occur. Please lean in and embrace everything those moments are trying to teach you. 

He who is able to take advantage of every painful moment and turn it into the gold will inherit heaven on earth. This is the true beauty in pain. The greatest thing you can ever learn in life is to take advantage of every opportunity that pain will present to you. It's simply guiding you back home.

You are becoming so beautiful.  I see you champion. #keepgoing
