Growth over “Its just how I am”
I often times hear “Thats just how I am” and that may be true in the present time but thats not who you have to remain to be.
Remaining the same is easier and more comfortable while growth requires effort, work and discomfort.
Growth may require digging and finding roots that are so deep down that you don’t consciously think about them nor want to.
Growth may require putting your pride aside, owning up to your wrongs, admitting it and apologizing.
Growth may require forgiving those who are not even sorry and have never asked to be forgiven.
Growth may require having tough & uncomfortable conversations.
Growth may require you to stop blaming yourself in order to cover up the fact of the matter.
Growth may require unlearning what you were taught and learning new ways in order to break cycles.
Growth may require feeling a lot of what you don’t want to feel right now and I understand.
Growth’s requirements can be scary. Growth’s requirements can bring up emotions we don’t want to feel. Growth’s requirements can bring tears we don’t want to cry but they can also bring a peace we haven’t felt, a joy we forgot existed and a future we couldn’t even imagine.
You are worth all the good things in the world and don’t let the stigma of ”This is just how I am” rob that from you.
