Growth Is Not Linear

"Growth is not linear. Growth is messy. It is becoming and unbecoming. It is blossoming and retreating." - Nicole Vivian

Humans are such beautiful messes of miracles - each of us an impossibly unique swirling galaxy of stars and dust and mineral and earth all intricately expressed as skin and bone and smiles and tears. We are made of ocean - ebbing and flowing. We are made of sky - quickly blossoming into clouds and just as swiftly vanishing into mist. We are made of earth - blooming, falling, hibernating, and patiently waiting for the next cycle of spring. We are living and breathing vibration and light in constant motion made of spirals and cycles, of mountain peaks and peaceful valleys, of raging rivers and of still ponds.

We are not made of the linear...so why would we expect our growth to be?

So today lets celebrate the beautiful, messy, fiery, and constantly transforming human-shaped constellations that we all are.

Take a moment to reflect, appreciate, and cherish just how rare and precious you are...and then (if you feel called to do so) jot down a few thoughts to these sweet questions:

Reflect on your past year. What is one way you have seen yourself grow?

Looking ahead, what is one way you would like to grow in these next few months?

Cherishing the time we are given in this moment, what is one small step you can take towards your growth today?
