Sometimes, growth looks like losing things you once held onto tightly. It could be a dream, a belief, or even a version of yourself. It feels like stepping backward, like you’re letting go of something important. What if letting go is the very thing that allows you to move forward though?
Maybe that promotion you didn’t get forced you to build skills you wouldn’t have otherwise. Maybe that friendship that faded made space for connections that align with who you are now. Maybe that plan falling apart pushed you toward something better - something you wouldn’t have considered if everything had gone smoothly.
Growth isn’t just about adding to your life, it’s also clearing space for what’s next.
