Life is about growth, which is wonderful,
though not always easy.
Many of life's lessons can be painful or difficult.
But those challenges are often the ones that
present the most opportunity for spiritual growth.
Our opportunities for growth come in many forms.
In fact, every challenge in life is an opportunity
to learn and grow. While these disruptions
in life are not easy, they are necessary.
We may be asked to let go of old safety measures,
shift old patterns of behavior, or step into the
abyss of the unknown.
When we do rise to the occasion, we end up
better off for having made that journey.
Not only do we end up learning and growing,
but we inevitably become more compassionate to
the challenges of others and wiser in the ways of
the world.
When we are in the midst of a growing period,
it is not easy to see our reward, but it is there,
waiting for us to grow big enough to reach it.
