As the seasons of earth fluctuate between chilliest of lows and scorching highs, I feel my soul do the same. I find these roller coaster rides help reveal something inside of me that I either cherish or that I loathe about myself. Regardless, it allows the opportunity to grow from it. To embrace the thing I cherish and find ways to nourish its development so it can continue to blossom. To take the less than pleasant parts of me and learn the lesson so I can stop repeating my mistakes which in the end are self destructive.
So far the best way I've discovered to grow in or from these areas is to listen to those who care about you and want the best for you. Let the words soak in, allow them to be absorbed and reflect on them.
