How often do our lives get so cluttered that it stunts growth? Bogged down with the day to day: work, home, petty annoyances, we can tend to get to the point where our vision is blocked, and our true potential doesn’t get the light it deserves. But, we fear what might come of change, and we stay stagnant. Even though we crave the purging of limiting beliefs and unhealthy habits, there is comfort in consistency.

Now, I am not saying that in order to reach your potential you need to burn your life to the ground and start over, but perhaps take some time to take inventory of the thoughts and practices that hamper your growth, and do some house cleaning. I have been doing a fair amount of that the past few years. Trying to purge bad habits, set boundaries, and release toxic mindsets isn’t easy. I fail sometimes. Honestly, I fail often. But, in those moments when I am able to clear the messy mind, personal growth and joy grows, and the sun dances on my soul just a little bit more.
