In order to make wheat edible, you need to remove the dry, scaly protective casing from the cereal grain. The same thing needs to happen with certain parts of your life, since we get dragged down by the chaff in our life. Toxic relationships, dead end jobs with no hope of promotion or change, and a self-limiting mindset that tells us not to go for it. 

It takes work to remove the chaff from the wheat but that's how you're going to be able to eat and survive. Take a look at your life and identify all the chaff that is holding you back and from there ask how you remove it from your life. Most of the time, removing that chaff is the simplest but might not be the easiest especially if it's a toxic relationship but if you want to grow you need to remove the weeds so you can have a more abundant harvest.
