Challenging Ourselves
That quote, “I will try. I will learn. I will grow,” has become a sort of mantra for me. Every time I read it, it feels like a gentle yet powerful reminder that life isn’t about perfection; it’s about the process of becoming.
It fills me with a sense of peace and optimism, encouraging me to be kinder to myself as I face new challenges. It’s like giving myself permission to be a work in progress—and isn’t that what we all are?
Change can be intimidating. I remember a moment a few years ago when I was about to step into something new, and I was so scared that I half-jokingly declared, “This is it! After this, no more new things!” Funny, right? But that’s how fear works sometimes—it makes us want to retreat to safety and avoid anything that might stretch us beyond our comfort zones.
And yet, deep down, we know that growth only happens when we step into the unfamiliar. Looking back, I’ve realized that it’s those very moments of uncertainty that have led to the most significant growth in my life.
Since that time, I’ve embraced many new ventures, and each one has stretched me in ways I never could have anticipated. Life Coaching is my latest adventure, and honestly, it’s a mix of excitement and fear. But here’s what I’ve come to understand: it’s in these moments of discomfort that I develop new strengths. More importantly, it’s in these moments that I learn to lean on God more fully, trusting Him to guide me and equip me for what lies ahead.
I know I won’t do everything perfectly, and that’s okay. Perfection isn’t the goal. Trying, learning, and growing—that’s where the magic happens. That’s where transformation takes place. So, here I am, ready to embrace the process once again.
And I invite you to join me on this journey. Whatever it is you’re facing, whatever new path you’re considering, let’s commit together to trying, learning, and growing. Let’s allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to be stretched, and to trust that God is with us every step of the way. Because when we do that, we discover the incredible ways He’s working in our lives, shaping us into who we’re meant to be.
So here’s to trying, to learning, to growing—one step at a time, with grace for ourselves and trust in God’s plan. Join me on this beautiful adventure of growth and faith.
