Past trauma is like a tangled rope with all sorts of crazy knots. To work through the trauma, we have to untie these knots. Getting frustrated and frantically shaking and tugging on the rope will not do the trick...that will only make things worse. Have patience with unresolved trauma.
When we want personal growth and change for ourselves, it doesn’t come easy. One of the difficult things to come to terms with is outgrowing those you have history with. Sometimes we have to disconnect from some in order to reconnect with ourselves.
The personal growth process is never ending. There is no finish line. There is no trophy. There are no medals. It’s a lifelong process. Enjoy the ride!
We can lose sight of what matters when there is abundance around us. Especially when we are blind to the abundance. Appreciation for what we have shines a light on what is actually necessary.
I believe the vast majority of issues we have is because of inner child work that needs to be done. To me, this is the most important thing we can do as humans to evolve with less suffering.
Apologies are a great way to gauge where we are during our personal growth journey. Both the apologies from others and the ones from ourselves. And in today’s episode, I’ll be talking about what to look out for.
Change isn’t easy. It takes dedication, focus, action, brutal honesty and patience. You have to want it.
