Creating space to grow

How often do we cocoon ourselves with people that no longer serve us but are too afraid to change the status quo? I’ve reflected on many people, including myself, as to the true value of these relationships and how they could be holding us back.

If you imagine your environment to be a forest and your relationships are trees. The more dominant characters create a canopy which blocks out the sunshine and stifles the eco-system. When one of these mighty trees fall, sunlight can nurture the forest floor and encourage growth of new saplings, which otherwise would never had a chance to exist.


I appreciate that it can be a tough decision to let go of situations and people that suppress us, but better alternatives could be waiting to develop if only we gave them the space to grow.
