Growing
What do you define as growth? Some people see growth as finally being able to buy a car or overcoming negative habits, some may see growth as a spiritual process that happens over years and we never stop growing. As children, we often excitedly tracked our physical growth by getting our parents to mark on door frames how tall we had grown every couple of months. Whether a child or an adult, our ideas about growing change with time, we go from seeing it as physical to seeing it as mental, emotional and spiritual. Personally I would define it as postive change in your life.

Sunday Sessions
Man, y'all have no idea how troublesome it was getting this picture on here. See I took this photo on my phone a couple days back but I forgot to put it on laptop beforehand- before I needed to write this. So I was trying to transfer the image via USB but of course, the hardware wasn't working properly. So then I tried Bluetooth and it too did not work. I'm telling you that I spent close to an hour just trying to get this simple image from my phone to my laptop. So you know what I did? I went back to basics and just emailed the image to myself. In hindsight, I should've thought of that first but at least now I know I need a new USB, I learnt something. I had to just go through the process of being frustrated. I already decided that I was gonna write today, and I already decided that I would use that picture. So there was no way I wouldn't figure it out. It's never about the obstacle. It is, however, always about your focus, your endurance and your patience. If you've ever tired anything new at all you'll know what I'm talking about. If not then please allow me to break it down to you. See, when you start something new, especially if it's something you genuinely like it's gonna be frustrating. I don't care who you are or how naturally gifted your genes made you. You're gonna suck at first. And you aren't gonna always do the right thing because half the time you won't even recognize the mere fact that you do have options besides what's presented. So how can you make a good decision with no reference point? By yourself, you can't. In these cases, it's always good to ask others but a lot of us don't have someone to ask for every single new situation in our lives, do we? It is this process of getting it wrong time and time again, then creating new strategies that is gonna pay off.

Eclectic
Every week there is always something new, whether it is part of a routine agenda or completely out of the usual. There are plenty of sayings such as "another day, another dollar." or "same shit different day." These are not terms I would describe as my everyday life. The world is full of mystery, philosophy, and we can't ever stop knowing. Everyday when I get out of bed; I am excited. I don't ever know what the day will bring me ahead. What brilliant mind will say something that resonates with my being. What adventures or experiences I will have for that day. One thing is for certain; I will learn something new.

Are You Creating or Reacting?
Are You Taking Action or Just Watching? "Living by default" or "living on luck" could be described as just reacting to anything that happens in your environment. It is exhausting and dissatisfying to live a life of response. Random events are all that are available to those who live this way. They are largely motivated by suffering and avoid generating new possibilities for growth via their own efforts.

The Question That Changed My Life
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As children, a question posed to us as we learn about our world’s fictional and non-fictional heroes who inadvertently taught us to want to be just like them. No matter your age, you’re always expected to have an answer. But when we’re young, it’s ok if our response involves the impossible, a princess, Superman, or some flying hero. The adult who posed the question will still look at you with a smiling face and throw some version of “I’m sure you’d be a great, blank.” At one point, the question used to strike an array of exciting emotions within me, wonderment, excitement, and the opportunity for incredible potential. However, as I got older, the very same question made me feel a completely different way. Pressure, confusion, and even inadequacy was always my emotional response in the months leading up to my high school graduation. As the “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was code for, “What career do you see yourself making a living in?” Causing the lighthearted question to carry new weight, an expectation. While friends around me had quick and definite answers, I always found myself hesitating. As a good student with a good family, I believed I should know with certainty what I wanted to be; it was time. I should know the modern-day hero I wanted to become.

You Are That You Are, and You Are Enough
I feel that there is nothing more powerful in life than being unapologetically you. Learning how to "just be" is a necessary skill that will teach you how to separate your emotions from yourself, which will be helpful in situations when you feel out of control. This skill is also important when you're in a difficult situation, because it can help you make the right decision. Practicing "just being" helps you learn how to recognize the true nature of your feelings and emotions. Here are a few tips on how to do that:

But On Closer Inspection - Behold a Diamond
When I was 10 years old, I didn’t really know very much. What I mean to say, is that I didn’t really know anything outside of what someone else had shown me or told me. I hadn’t yet figured out anything novel and exciting for myself / by myself. I didn’t know about important life situations yet.
