Walking a path of growth is not always going to be a beam of warm, safe light. It won't always leave you feeling accomplished. Personal growth can certainly feel like you stepped into a ring with Mike Tyson and you're so beat up that you're blinded. Sometimes our lesson stings. Our best intentions may be met with a hard stop. That doesn't mean the journey stops. It's only a pause to reflect on the process.
Our paths are winding roads, covered in debris that we must traverse. There's no map or guide that can prepare us for all that we will encounter. Having faith in oneself and shedding our protective layers is part of the process. We cannot allow ourselves to depend on anyone else, because when it comes right down to it, we walk amongst these shadows alone.
