Flourishing isn't only about the blossoms.
It's about having the courage to step into the storm, to face the demons head on, taking one step at a time through the slog believing that there will eventually be a step that isn't so heavy. And that after that step will come a lighter step. And then an even lighter step.
It's about braving the unknown with the belief that what lies on the other side may take an army of struggles to get to, but that it is worth it - because I am worth it.
