I believe that we all possess the innate ability to reach our full potential. Our human experience can be compared to the lotus flower, beginning its journey in murky waters, surrounded by mud and darkness that seems unsupportive to life and growth. But surprisingly, the lotus does most of its growing in this challenging environment. The lotus flower maintains its strength, pushing aside obstacles, and instinctively strives to break through the water’s surface, freeing itself from the harsh conditions below.
An inherent part of the human experience involves growing through challenges in a world that can feel harsh and unfair. But like the lotus flower, we do most of our growing and strength building during these trying times. We all possess the instinct and ability to strive and reach our full potential, but sometimes life’s challenges can disconnect us from that natural ability. Counselling is one way to reconnect us to our resilience and strength, empowering us to trust our ability to grow through the mud.
