Path to Growth
I read this statement and it really made me question how much we ponder on life’s circumstances. “The path to grwoth is rarely smooth.”
How many times have you wished that you skipped a moment in time, or maybe even days - to get to the final outcome of a scenario. I believe we all have at one time or another, whether we on the inside just were excited about a time in our lives, or if we just wanted something to be over, and quickly. I believe ultimately that we should live through experiences because they help us to get to the final end product, however, I realize that this whole idea is not always pleasant.
So, when I read the above statement, I had one of those “aha” moments. I really think this statement was simply put and does summarize a lot of the situations in my life that have been challenging. Growth is the key word for me in this statement. I have grown, in all areas of my life - through hardship, pain, and a lot of tender love and care, and watering. But, the growth was definitely worth it.
I’ve struggled with wanting all situations in life to have some kind of definitive value, and I belive this statment does help me clarifiy how I can attain value.
