"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
I love this quote. There are numerous ways to interpret it, but one thing it describes to me is when you remain in a situation just because it's "comfortable" even though you know it's not the right thing for you. It takes courage to go out of your comfort zone and to take action to make a change. When you finally do, the metamorphosis that you undergo is liberating and blissful. You grow and stretch and it's painful but it's worth it. It requires you to let go.
Not everyone has experienced this, but I have, and the process for me was life changing and it allowed me to discover myself. When I think about where I was headed compared to where I am now, it amazes me. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that we are given in this life. I'm grateful for the Spirit who reminds us who we really are...children of our Heavenly Father.

This was a great post Kendra! Just what I needed to hear! I've been getting a little anxious since I'm moving this month and leaving my "comfort zone." I know I'll be alright but it's still scary!
