The hard truth about personal growth

The hard truth about personal growth that nobody tells you is that in order for you to become the person that you need to be, the person that you were needs to die. And what I mean by that is that sometimes growth is incremental, meaning we build upon past experiences, sort of a a scaffolding if you will, but that only gets us from one to two to two to three incremental growth. But when you want to grow incomparably a whole other track, the only way for that to happen is to enter a completely new realm where all of your past experiences become irrelevant. All of your past accomplishments become meaningless and you freeall and you let go and you say, "I don't have any idea where I'm going." And then when you can come back from zero, from nothingness, then you can go back and retrieve all of the old lessons that you learned in your quote unquote past life. But you have to go through that freef fall if you want that quantum leap of incomparable new growth.
