My name is Myles Smith. Ever since I can remember I have been the “Shoulder” people have gone to for support, consolation, motivation… you name it and I have listened and helped.
The reason I can relate?
I have had a number of changes in my life and with each and every one I have grown.
Most of the time, it has been joy beyond belief! Enriching, educating, entertaining… yes all those and more, so very much more.
Yes, I must admit and I hate to say it: sometimes it has definitely not been fun.
But I have been there and done that.
And it is because of those experiences and insights that I have been the person so many people have come to when they needed that shoulder to lean on, arm to hold them up, hand to pat them on the back in congratulations, or finger to prod them forward.
And no, sometimes that prodding may not be as gentle as other people would have done it, but I am not one who believes that all of life is gentle and cuddly.
Change and growth can be painful. Stepping out of our comfort zones can be terrifying. I know. Moving from a place where everything is familiar to one very similar can be very upsetting. Just the move itself can be a stress filled experience. I understand this.
But to grow, you MUST move forward.
None of us like to go forward alone and like to have a hand in the middle of our backs to help steady us, maybe even give a gentle push from time to time…
Tell ya what, life truly is wonderful. C’mon, get up and take a walk down its path. See where it leads you and how much you can grow.
