A Piece of My Pride
Perscpectives through the Eyes
The first thing we realize is that we are alive.
And we grow to realize life should not be this way.
A life in which you have to flinch at the sounds of joy, for fear they are the sounds of terror.
A life in which you learn to follow the rules, not out of respect for their intentions, but for fear of their consequences.
A life in which you are silent, not to hear others speak, but so your words cannot be used as weapons against you.
A world that encourages your dreams of a better future while in the same breath encouraging its demise.
A world that encourages growth but does everything in it’s power to hold you stagnant.
But that is the thing about growth — that ever present force of nature. As we grow, we grow a desire to continue growing. Regardless of the ways and mediums in which it’s expressed, our progression shows — mind, body, and soul.
And as we grow, we begin looking at the world, not just through our own eyes, but through the eyes of everyone else with eyes.
And we continued to grow and to learn to look for knowledge, answers, and opportunities for even more growth and victory.
We internalized the Growth Mindset and realized that “the limit does not exist”. Once we learn how to learn, and adapt to situations and new information, then we have attained a escape velocity in which progression is exponential.
We use our resources to move us into realms where the things we have learned over time not only place us in a position for more growth, but allow for the access to pass that experience to others.
We share that knowledge, growth, and experience to move the world forward. To progress society despite any obstacle, obstruction, or vindication.
As the obstacles grow in frequency, we learn to adapt to the changes in life faster. For the only constant in life is change.
