If we want to grow, we need manure. It’s not the actual manure we should be seeking here. Instead, it is supportive; it is having a few people around you who will give you the honest, brutal feedback; the feedback that also comes with genuine care and kindness, and is hard to hear, but is necessary.
All too often, we create a sense that everything is excellent. We craft a cocoon of calm, happiness, and supposed bliss. Yet, if we peep through the flimsy silk bubblewrap around us, there are likely prominent vital elements that need significant adjustment, yet we do not see it or choose to accept it.
And it is here that those trusted people will share some of the truth with you and help you see elements you never see that will enable you to grow.
Yes, you can live in your supposed self-crafted bliss or open yourself up to others who care and grow and prosper.
