Growth > Comfort


Growth ain't always bright lights or applause, Sometimes it's silence while you fight through the flaws. Losing old habits, old friends, old views, Walking through storms with nothing to prove. Lonely roads often mean you're evolving inside, Choosing your purpose instead of your pride. Every new level costs comfort and ease, You can't grow roots while chained to disease. So cut off the chaos, the doubt, and the fake, Some losses are blessings disguised as heartbreak. The sacrifice hurts, but the pain has a role, It's building a stronger, more disciplined soul. Not everyone’s meant for the path that you pave, Some journeys are lonely before they are great. Keep moving in silence, let discipline speak, The man you become is worth every week. -AIG
