From bud to bloom

And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin

Coach Charrise sent this out on Twitter today and it is brilliant! We've all been here, and this time in our lives is incredible. It can be uncomfortable or even painful, but it is often this moment that we must reach before we are willing to walk through change.

Change can be scary, difficult or even painful itself. We have to step out of our comfort zones, learn to do new things, learn more about ourselves and continuously take action. None of this is easy, but it is worth it!

We've all heard people tell stories of the difficult times in their lives. Often, at the end of the story, they say it wasn't easy but I'm glad I did it. Think back to the most exciting moments of your life. Think about the times when you were full of life, happiness, excitement and joy. Relive that moment right now.

Now, think back to what happened before that moment. What did you go through to get to the joy? What sacrifices did you make? What fears did you face? What did you learn about yourself? How did you stretch yourself?

That was a time of creating change, and all the change led to the victory.
