Your growth as a person is not contingent upon everything unfolding perfectly.
Your growth is contingent upon your response to those things.
It is contingent upon how you learn to adapt.
Lidia Costea
It is contingent upon whether you see setbacks as failures or opportunities.
Growth is not always a constant forward motion.
Sometimes, growth is staying still.
Sometimes, growth is deep rest.
Sometimes, growth is stopping to reconsider where youre headed.
Thats what you have to remember.
Every single season of your life presents a purpose, a lesson, a step toward your ultimate destiny.
The truth is that everything you went through before this was preparing you for right now.
Everything you are going through right now is preparing you for the future you asked for.
But you are going to decide what that change means for you.
You are going to decide whether in this season you find gratitude and connection and deep rest and healing.
Sometimes, the path bows in a direction we didnt expect.
That does not mean we have to change our final destination.
It only means there is something in the wilderness that it is imperative for us to see.
