Something Ive been noticing: The more we consciously choose to walk our path, the more we are asked to step up on every level--emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. Things that used to work for us--habits, behaviors, thought patterns, toxic emotional tendencies--all those things that let us survive at one point, now get in the way of the ability to thrive. A friend of mine last night told me that personal growth comes in waves, and on those waves we experience both extreme highs and extreme lows--and each wave we ride allows a subtle escalation for the next one. Regardless of how far along we are on our path, there will always be emotional dips dives of our spirit and soul. What I am learning, as I ride wave after wave, is to actually appreciate the lows. They arent always easy, in fact, they never are, but I find a humbling presence in them that reminds me that I am still, and always will be learning. Makes sense, after all, I do fancy myself the eternal student. ;-)
