6 Benefits of Stepping Back
It’s important to remember that growth isn’t always linear.
Two months ago our sunshine yellow rose bush appeared as though it had seen better days. It was growing but not blooming. In fact, it looked as though we had purpose built a stick man in our front yard.
So we researched and discovered that if we cut/pruned the branches down it would be able to grow and flourish again. As you can see in the picture below our rose bush is blooming beautifully
Perhaps we too can learn from the growth patterns of flora and fauna.
If we find lack of success or growth in our lives, we too can cut back or take a few steps back. We can research, to strengthen ourselves and grow in different or new directions towards success!
It is important to tell ourselves that it is okay to take a step back, because there are benefits personally and professionally.
