Growth ≠ comfort
Most of us would agree that personal growth is a good thing, at least in theory. But we’d probably also like to be cozy while it happens.
We tend to think of our comfort zones as being safe. But sometimes they are anything but.
If we remain stagnant (comfortable) for too long, life may give us a slap alongside the head to wake us up. Flow and change is the natural state of Creation, and when we try to stay as is for too long, we dishonor Creation.
Just as when we were children and a growth spurt caused us to outgrow our clothes, as adults changes in and around us cause us to outgrow old ways of thinking, feeling, and being. We need to shift to keep up with life.
Today’s message reminds me that any emotional discomfort is a sign that I’m shifting. Growth is for my benefit and easier when I relax into it.
Please reflect and share. What personal growth are you experiencing?
