Growing requires courage, and courage is a challenging virtue as it demands us to face and come to terms with what frightens us. Often what we fear is more significant in our minds; once we take the first step towards conquering a fear or confront a challenge, we realize that we were more prepared than we thought and stronger than we imagined. Keep walking every day, knowing that no matter what circumstances and challenges come your way, you'll have the ability to face it and the strength in the face of pain and grief.
Growing can be painful, but it's also liberating. Watch yourself grow and evolve with effortless grace no matter the challenge you face knowing you are a warrior at heart and have the strength within you to achieve anything you set your mind to. You'll have the discipline to learn the necessary skills, the commitment to yourself, never to give up, and the wisdom to know when it is time to rest, not to quit.
