By Ng’ong’a
You seek growth but it will not happen without the dirt part. You are a seed and to grow to a tree you have to be buried in dirt, covered by it, suffocate and die in it. Then rise again after some days to begin the enormous process of growing. You ought to know by now, that you will not grow without going through this section where you lose more than you gain. By skirting your way around it, avoiding it or making a shortcut, that is not wise at all. You eventually have to face your growth because we all find ourselves on that road that leads to a ‘journey to self’ at some point in life.
Without the dirt you will not grow. When hoping for rains be prepared to handle the mud too. When you want better for you, accept that your routine will cease to be as usual. There are things you will have to let go. A lot of sacrifices made for the sake of growth make up what we refer to as dirt. The not so pleasant choices you must make in order to grow or attain progress. It is therefore in order to not be afraid of the dirt. It obviously seems gross at first but it’s consequences will influence your life in a great way.
