It seems like my kids are constantly teething.
As I forgo my own sleep to comfort my daughter and her 4 huge molars tonight it has me reflecting on growth. And the pain that's inevitable.
Growing pains. Ugh.
Not just for children.
It is my belief that to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life (the kind with no regrets on your deathbed) we have to consciously grow.
But... growth includes pain.
And we (I) don't want to feel pain.
So we try to push the pain away with potentially harmful coping skills. Things like alcohol, sugar, sex, exercise, ridgid to-do lists etc. AKA my college experience. 19 units, bartending and so. much. drinking.
However, the calling for growth doesn't go away. It's like that damn Sam I Am dude. Nagging at us. Many times in the form of a gentle whisper from your heart "I think it's time - are you ready?".
Finally, for me, being arrested for being drunk in public at a concert; snapped me back into my life. The painful experience was one of my catalyst to grow and FEEL in the moment. Ugh. :)
If your heart whispers are growing stronger I want to personally invite you to my next transformation shindig.
Stressed to Zen in 6 months.
Inspired by desperate parents emailing me as they embark on the dreaded distance learning. Which of course I see as a gift because hello growth and pain.
