FRIDAY THOUGHTS #177: GROWTH IS A PROCESS

 

Growth is a process.

All of it. Every negative, challenging and disappointing thing you've ever been through has all simply been preparation for your next level.  All of it.

 I know it hurt, it was uncomfortable, trust me, I know...but there is a reason for it. There is a reason for it all and the moment we fully embrace the fact that everything is conspiring for us, that is the moment we fully find peace in the storm...or better yet, peace in the process.

You have to break so you can build. That's life.

Everything that is now considered great/beautiful in life has had to go through a building process in order to get there and in that building process things are taken away so better things can come. 

Gardeners prune trees so they can bloom/grow even stronger than before. When lifting weights at the gym, your muscles tear so larger muscles can take its place. You have to break so you can build, this is life. 

Growth is a process.

Did you enjoy taking math in school? Although it was challenging, I enjoyed the subject. Learning pre-algebra will prepare you for algebra - and algebra will prepare you for Calculus and so on. Each level of math has it's own difficulties, I've made a gazillion mistakes learning a new concept until I actually got it right. That's life. 

Growth is a process. At times that process will be littered with failures and misunderstandings.

You will fail, the goal is to fail smartly. The goal is to fail with grace and to always make the failure count by learning from it, that is how you grow. That is how you get prepared for the next level.

That is just the way life is, so embrace the process. Embrace the failures. Embrace the disappointments, embrace them all...they are only preparing you for the greatness that's always been inside of you.

I believe in you champion, you got it. Keep going, the world needs what you have - continue to give it to them.
