"There really is no perfect pinnacle to our growth, and no point when we stop having to press through challenging situations. When we realize we’ve grown and yet still remain messy, it's a humbling reminder we have to live like this forever. Good and bad will come. Each time we must rise to greet the moment." Such a great reminder. I can often feel like I just need to "make it" through something or to have "made it" to the life I've planned, but life keeps coming and good and bad will come. Great piece and helpful reminders that we all face difficult situations from time to time.
It's so true! "Making it" might really be about reaching peace through all the hills and valleys. Personally, I think you're kicking butt at accepting the messiness!
"Do you ever feel like no matter how much of “the work” you do, you keep finding yourself back at square one?" YES! And someone once explained this to me in such a useful way. She described it as a spiral... so that even when sometimes it feels like you're going backward, you're actually still moving forward and will come back around. 🌀

Thank you for the very useful and calming thoughts even when life gets messy. There is much "forever wisdom" to take to heart here.
