"The most profound personal growth does not happen while reading a book or meditating. It happens in the throes of conflict, when you are angry, afraid, frustrated. It happens when you are doing the same old thing and you suddenly realize that you have a choice."
Vironika Tugaleva
Our minds are filled with knowledge, but unless we apply what we know, we will be no more the wiser. When we add movement and emotion to knowledge, we create experience which is needed to activate what we know. What is that saying, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome."
It is healthy for emotions to trigger action as long as we do not become stuck. Anger serves a purpose, but we are not to reside in our fury. To be afraid is part of the human experience, but we must never remain stuck in fear. It is how we learn and advance. The challenge is to use our knowledge to stretch and grow.
Information by itself does not project us forward. It is when we face the challenge, wrestle with the options, and embrace change that our spirits begin to stretch and fly. Knowledge transforms into wisdom enhancing our personal makeup and fueling our soul.
