...when we want to come out of
it. ~ Baron Baptiste
What does it look like when you stay committed to growth?
This is what it looks like
from where I am seated.
Committing to growth is
stepping into the unknown with faith. Faith that with your skills,
abilities, your values and your curiosity, you will find your way. But
not to any "there." You
never know where you are going really. Committing to growth means testing
that voice in your head and messing up once in a while. Or even twice or
thrice in a while. Self-sabotage is a tricky and conniving tone
that often resembles instinct. Committing to growth means ignoring the voices saying "you can't...", "you won't...", "you aren't..." Committing to growth means trusting in
yourself. It means that you are literally growing yourself, your soul,
your spirit, your potential, so that there is more of you.
Why?
So that you can share your
gift. So that you can affect change, so that you can set an example, so
that you can encourage and motivate, so that you can surprise yourself, cause
people to reflect, so that you can be the biggest version of you possible.
Cause in the end, that’s who
you really are. Already.

more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~Anaïs Nin

Alex - I love you insight and curiosity. There is a great speech by Brene Brown that speaks of vulnerability. Risk taking doesn't always take courage, but it does take a willingness to open up, to explore, sometimes to let go, or to accept any outcome. Satisfaction isn't necessarily the goal, but rather, willingness - to come apart. Cheers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o
