We’ve all been there.
That place where nothing seems to be going as planned– the place where uncertainty, self-doubt, and the question, what’s the use, lives.
Life sucks there. You’re moody, anxious, and you probably have this headache that won’t heal. What now? That is probably what you are wondering- especially if you’ve tried everything you know, and nothing seems to work.
You may be on the verge of something significant. You have new ideas, huge dreams, and specific goals. But you just can’t seem to get those things out of your head and into your reality. So, what now?

Or…
You may be feeling stuck, uninspired, and totally disconnected from your dreams. You used to light up at the thought of doing your thing. Now, you doubt your ability to even make it happen. You’re thinking “maybe it wasn’t meant to be.” So, what’s the use?
If what now is your greatest question and what’s the use comes in at a strong second, you’re in the right place.
The most beautiful things in life grow in the dirtiest, darkest, and most unlikely places.
It doesn’t feel good to you. Believe me. I know.
It doesn’t seem to make any sense. Trust me. Sometimes I don’t get it either.
Your feelings are warranted. Your questions are valid.
But don’t despise the process. Grow from it.
Say a prayer. Ask for help. Get stronger. Dig deeper. Go harder. Grow.
