A New Perspective on Growth

Let’s face it, growth—meaningful, personal growth—can be uncomfortable. It’s not easy to change a well-worn behavior, or approach, or attitude. Emotional growth, too, can be very painful—the loss of a job, a promotion, a failure. Most of the time, many of us just bear the pain, feeling like it will never go away and feeling like we have sustained a loss from which we will never recover.

If any of this resonates with you, allow me to share a wonderful anonymous quote I’ve come across that offers a new perspective on growing.

Here it is.

“The pain you feel today is equal to the strength you will feel tomorrow.”

What an empowering thought to help sustain one through the ups and downs of this journey we call life.

Till next time…
