At times it feels as though growth is impossible, the odds
are definitely not in favor of it. To
even move forward a little bit requires herculean strength and even with that
it is very slow going. There are also
times when growth appears effortless, as simple as breathing in and breathing
out. But those times seem to be rare.
Today I will remind myself that despite my perceptions, I am
continually growing and changing and others are too. When I think someone is set in his or her
ways and never going to be different, it is helpful to remember that despite
appearances growth is taking place. It
just may take a while before the fragile plant peeks its head out from under
the soil. If I am patient and water the
ground with kindness and compassion and also discern between the weeds and the
desired outcome, eventually, I will see within myself and those around me the
change that is needed.
