Stretch
This is from something I was writing yesterday…
I wanted to take on the new challenge because I was hoping it would stretch and challenge me in new ways. Be careful for what you ask for. Ask and you shall receive. Knock and it shall be open. In spades.
I received challenges I never would have dreamed. I was stretched in ways that I thought I was going to burst at the seems. In the end, I realized what I was looking for was not to be stretched and challenged, but instead to receive the wisdom and insight of life’s experiences. I seem to have forgotten the high price we have to pay in order to receive the wisdom of living life.
Only good comes from being humbled. We end up with a clearer picture of who we are and how the world works. Making it so we have make better choices in the future. All of that is only good.
Except for the feeling of being humbled.
