How to grow more

Imagine a large rock along the edge of a river. The rock never grabs the water, holds on to it tight and never lets it go. Instead, the water gentle goes around the rock making it smooth and shiny.

Consider this. You are the rock. The water are your emotions.

Most of you love to hold on to those bad situations that fuel your negative emotions. You constantly think about them and give them more power over you. If this were to happen in a river, the water would stop right at the rock causing a dam with nothing flowing past it. Have you ever been on the other side of someone who had a wall of dammed up emotions and then let them out on you? Not fun, is it? Sometimes you receive it and other times you may dish it out.

What if instead you did this.

Allow those emotions to flow through you and then let go. When you integrate the experience, you become more smooth and shiny as a person overall. You become way more pleasant to be around!

Let’s take another look at this. It’s time to harvest your fruits of labor from this summer. As you go to your garden, your plants are so overgrown that the smaller plants receive little to no water. You cut back and the overgrowth and pull the weeds. You are clearing out and letting go. This allows the smaller plants to receive the vital water and nutrients again.

Where in your life, career, or relationships do you need to clear out and let go? This can be anything from a thought-pattern that sabotages you, a mindset that things never work out, or how someone else acts and not letting this affect you. What is it for you?

Growth is proportional to letting go and receiving anew.

Wishing you an abundant, joyful, and prosperous day!
