How willing are you to grow?

Growth happens at the edge of our comfort zone.

Get into a situation that is a little too difficult, a little too uncomfortable.

Persevere. Make it happen.

And voila, growth.

You find you have the inner strength for so much more.

You learn that you have what it takes to conquer your fears.

To push through something you thought was too hard.

To get past a difficult obstacle.

When we use nature to challenge ourselves we have the added benefit of the natural healing powers of the great outdoors.

Caving is a great activity because it is beautiful, the weather is always cool, there’s no rain, and you can go through challenging situations.

When the guide shows you a small hole and says we’re going through that, you may feel that there is no way.

But then you start shimmying.

You start your micro-movements.

And then you learn you have so much more strength than you thought.

That’s what #growth is all about.

There are even caves to explore that don’t require belly crawling, if the idea makes you uncomfortable (it makes me uncomfortable and I do it).

As always, DON’T TRY THIS ON YOUR OWN unless you’re experienced and understand proper safety and navigation.
