Growth is important. We go through so many changes in our lifetime. Not only physical growth, we have emotional, mental and spiritual as well. Starting from seeds and developing deep roots to grow the best version of ourselves. We need to feed and prune and water to get best results. This process can be stunted by the lack of important factors. Neglect, restriction, disturbing the roots, lack of sun and nutrients. Even the best soil and care can create a problem, we outgrow the original container. Sadly flourishing does not guarantee problem free.
To move forward, sometimes you have to pull up roots, get new soil, reposition to the sun and get a bigger pot. Fresh soil requires careful handling. Disturb too much and creating stress puts limitations that can also stop the ability to thrive. This does not mean avoid these valuable steps, you just have to be patient with the outcome. Leaving a plant in a smaller pot will allow it to tip over or become susceptible to a whole host of problems. When you outgrow the boundaries that you live within, you allow yourself to be who you really are.
If you are able to recognize the time to move forward, that’s growth. Fresh soil, expanding roots, maintaining consistent conditions allows new buds to branch out and adjust to a new environment. An environment that provides recovery from the borders you have encased yourself in. Spring is like that, it signals time to grow. 🌸
