Grow Through What You Go Through

“Grow through what you go through” is a saying and mantra I live by every single day. It is so simple yet so powerful. In this life, there are going to be unpleasant obstacles and situations that bring you to your knees. You have no choice in the matter of what happens to you, but you do have a choice in how you react and respond to it. If you choose to grow through what you go through you’ll be better in the long run.

It is important to remember in every situation there is a lesson to learn. Everything happens for a reason. No matter the situation or circumstance there are inspirational stories and messages hidden within. When you believe this, something magical happens. It makes you more resilient. You are more tolerant. You have hope. You are willing to sit in the storm because you know there is a lesson to be learned. Eventually, you will learn the bigger the storm the greater the lesson. No matter how painful it is, you will realize it will be worth it because the truth will eventually reveal itself.

Pain has a purpose and you can grow through what you go through.

If you don’t believe me, let me prove it to you. Nature reminds us of this lesson every single day. You take the little seed or bulb that you want to plant. You dig a deep hole in the Earth, place the seed in the hole, and then cover it over with the excess dirt. Now take a minute to think of the situation from the plant’s perspective. 
– it is in a cold, dark place
– there is no sunlight
– and it has the weight of the world on its shoulders

There are two options for this tiny little seed. Stay in that hole and shrivel up and die or push through the dark and grow towards the light. 

Like the seed going through Germination, you must remember that when you are going through difficult times and have the weight of the world on your shoulders, it is important to nurture yourself, take care of your environment, and keep growing towards the light despite the pain and dark around you.

I actually have more to talk about on this topic. I will be using GROW as an acronym for the life lessons we can learn from Nature. Come back for my next post to hear more about Roots.
