“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.”
– Anonymous
This week our youngest child left home to start his new life at college, a place where he’ll meet people who will enrich his life and take classes that will shape who he is becoming. Transitions like starting a new school year, moving to a new town or taking a new job are tangible markers of growth opportunities. However, change and growth are just as important for those of us without such externally visible life shifts.
What part of yourself are you giving birth to? How do you want to grow? Consider one step you can take this week that will move you toward the person you are becoming. It’s never comfortable to stray from our comfort zones, but journaling about the process is a way to dip our toes into the water, to ease ourselves into unchartered territory where growth awaits.
Who are you becoming? What step might you take to foster growth?
