Growing Pains

Growth is hard!

Believe me I know!

They definitely call it 'growing pains' for a reason!

Sometimes it feels like life is easier when we walk around with our blinkers on.

As my nan would say 'ignorance is bliss'

It's an easier and 'safer' way to live life for sure...but is that REALLY living?

Being aware and living without blinkers allows us to see more, hear more, taste more, smell more and feel more!  

It brings more flavours to life, makes it much more interesting and opens us up to many more opportunities to explore, rather than the blinkered same small world.

But the more we explore, we open ourselves up to more questions, tests, trials and possible tribulations.

HOWEVER...

That is where the opportunity to grow lies.

Like a diamond, without intense heat and pressure it cannot be formed into it's beauty. The growing pains are necessary!

By living our lives without blinkers and putting ourselves into uncomfortable situations that can bring us pressure, there is the possibility to better ourselves....to become that diamond.  But it is equally important to ensure that we are prepared for it.  That we work on ourselves to be confident in taking on the pressure and enduring it, enjoying the process along the way to becoming that new version of ourselves.  No matter how hard it may be...knowing that the end result will be worth it!
