In true Ria fashion, I stumbled across my genius today. Just kidding… or am I? I was chatting to my daughter and, as usual, giving her my completely unsolicited words of wisdom (whether she wanted them or not). I said it’s a shame people seem to have to go through so much rubbish (I didn't say that, but I’m keeping this post PG) in life in order to grow. Then I stopped and thought… hang on a minute. What do things grow best in? Fertilizer. (Again, I’m keeping this PG.) So maybe that’s the point. Growth rarely comes from the easy-peasy, light-and-breezy. It usually comes from the mess, the chaos, the tests, and the things that almost break us. Not because suffering is something to celebrate, but because it has a strange way of forcing us to learn who we are and who we want to become. Anyway… that’s today’s accidental wisdom from someone who still regularly thinks she might be chatting absolute nonsense. (PG) But if life’s throwing a bit of fertilizer your way at the moment, take heart. Something might just be growing. Don't allow it to be rage, chaos or bad habits. You never know where it could lead. what's the biggest thing you've grown from?
