I realize how our being is much alike as plants. A plant tends to outgrow its pot. Once that happens, she has to be repotted to a bigger pot filled with new soil. If we think of the plant as ourselves and the pot as our situations, then our personal growth requires us to move out of our current situation and acquire new information.
Staying in our now small pot contains us to who we currently are and limits our would be potential. Of course, like plants that get stressed when repotted, we need an adjustment period. It's okay that things seem unfamiliar and different, it's all part of our growth.
