BEING UNCOMFORTABLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GROW

i feel like so many times when i’ve gotten disheartened or uncomfortable when trying/learning something new or encountering an unexpected situation, ive just mindlessly strayed away. the reality is they were opportunities for growth and i neglected to think twice about it

being passed over for an opportunity

this happened to me recently initially, it stung. for a few brief hours, I had a great big offended flare up of wounded pride but then I started reaping the benefits in the form of a clarifying dose of humility. Suddenly I was able to see and accept things about myself that I'd been avoiding accepting. And I could see that the assignment wasn't actually something I truly wanted; I just liked the idea of it, what it would have said about me to be asked, but in reality it would have been quickly toxic — and I can see that I dodged a bullet. The whole thing has actually highlighted a different direction that I know in my heart I want to go...just needed this nudge. Pain, sharpening, suffering: they can be so grounding and clarifying.

it creeps up on you

i think settling into your life is a feeling that creeps up on you. as someone who struggles with being present, i need to constantly practise gratitude or even my dream life kinda passes me by. i think it's human nature to be constantly looking for the next best thing, but it takes a lot of awareness to realize you've already made it on so many facets. thinking about my younger self and the pride they'd feel looking at present me is grounding and brings me lots of perspective.

extreme frustration when learning new things

get frustrated very easily when i'm learning something new. it was not always like this for me, or at least that is how i remember it. i get that i need to be more patient but it is annoying that i constantly worry about some other stuff and give up on stuff almost immediately.
