More than one way to grow
We measure our growth by our external progress.
But that's a flawed measure. Any external progress that you make is facilitated by the internal work that you do.
If you aren't seeing external progress, it doesn't mean that you're not growing. It means that you're growing in a different way — and this is the way that will utterly transform you and your life for the better.
I know it can feel very frustrating when you're putting so much of your energy and attention towards a goal, but not seeing the results that you are hoping for. In these moments, the real transformation is happening deeper within you, a place that can't be seen nor measured.
Then, one day, you'll behave differently, surprising yourself with the choice that you make:
You take the step you have been too afraid to take:
You respond to an old situation in a completely new way.
You confidently step forward and take a big risk.
It's a change that was only possible because of the time that you spent transforming at the very deepest inner level. And it's a change that sends you in an utterly new trajectory.
Trust that there is change happening within you. Trust that you will see the change externally soon. Keep going.
