Even cutting on dotted lines. Or tracing on dotted lines. Why’s that?

Often, counseling consist of tracing your steps . With the intention of looking for situations and instances that could be done and approached in a healthier manner.
But also, you spend a vast majority of the time looking for strengths and positive attributes.
The thing is, Life is a consistent flow of things we have done well, and things we could improve on. Growth includes both. In fact, in order for you to get to the place where you are successful, whether it be , you are a good communicator, have healthy social relationships, etc..
There was a time where your lines weren’t perfect. You stumbled before you were successful. Its part of the process.
All of these things do not make looking at ourselves and the places we could grow , or the places we are successful at , any easier. It still requires an amount of openness and vulnerability that many are not comfortable with. And the best place to start is..
Simply acknowledging that . Simply being able to accept the fact that growth, though necessary and important is not always comfortable.
What are some areas where you could grow?
Have you thought about reaching out to someone who has the training to hold your heart in an honorable way as you walk through this season?
