Awkward Growth Spurts

Awkward Growth Spurts

This Christmas break I discovered Canadian author and poet, Danielle LaPorte

I was listening to her book, The Desire Map, and couldn’t help but think about feedback as I heard her say in her beautiful voice:

'The passage of resistance is cause for celebration. Instead of shutting down at those moments, you need to shift your attitude towards loving the resistance that is arriving. There is truth in the resistance. There is power in the resistance. More specifically there is hope in the resistance. Because if you can push through, or if you can breathe into, if you can lean back into that rather awkward growth spurt you are giving yourself adequate time to catch up to your noble intentions. You will gain momentum. This is where you will keep on keeping on.'

Have you ever felt the twinge of a ‘A rather awkward growth spurt’ when receiving feedback? Love it!
