"For a seed to become its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, the insides come out. To someone that doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction." -ocelli

“Grapes must be crushed to make wine. Diamonds form under pressure. Olives are pressed to release oil. Seeds grow in darkness. So whenever you feel crushed, under pressure, pressed, or in darkness, you are in a powerful place of transformation.”

Quote

We are naturally creatures of comfort so we tend to surround ourselves with like-minded people. The trick though, is to surround yourself with people that will call you out on your bullshit and push you to become a better version of yourself.Stop running from the people that trigger you, they have been unknowingly sent to make you better. When they can no longer affect you in anyway, then you're no longer the seed, now, you're GROWING.

“There will always be temptation.”She was speaking from a relationship standpoint, but I took it at relate it to every day life, especially in improving my self.There will always be temptation to do things you know you shouldn’t be doing, no matter where you are in life and your self improvement journey. When things get rough, it’s tempting to fall back into your old, familiar, destructive ways. When you get nervous or scared, it’s tempting to run and hide rather than face your fears. When your relationship gets difficult or your partner turns out to be less than perfect, it’s tempting to let your eyes wander rather than put energy into fixing problems or allowing yourself to be vulnerable around them.In life, you will often have to choose between what is right and what is easy. There will be times when you can cruise for a bit without making difficult decisions, but for the most part you will often be given the opportunity to to choose the more difficult but more righteous path. You are who you are, but for the most part you get to choose who you become. It’s OK to give in to little insignificant temptations like that extra cookie or 5 more minutes in the shower, but otherwise you must always be ready to face temptations and strive to be the best person you can be.
