THE KEY TO THE GLO! (GROW)

Growth! A simple yet powerful word. One that can change and define your entire life forever. A word that has so much meaning and has so much life inside it. This one seemingly simple word, is the key element to so many aspects of our lives, for we wouldn’t even be without it taking place in our lives. So many of us seek this word out when looking to gain something, as if a measure of its “power” or some form of it in our lives will bring us to this ultimate level of clarity we all long to have. Clinging to the hope that it gives that things will all get better once we achieve it. But what happens during the wait? The process of the entire thing can be deafening as you wait for the clouds to clear from all the rain; and although there are thunderstorms and it’s lightening everything still seems so dark. The walls seem to be closing in and everything in you is saying to quit because there is no way out of this hole. And then, there it is, the rainbow after all the bad weather; where you finally get to claim Glorious Victory at the finish line. Yet part of you still wonders how you even got there to begin with. And the answer is somewhere along the way you didn't see the warning signs that growth was coming or limited yourself to thinking it would come one way rather than another. Whether it be verb, noun, or adjective, there's a process that you must go through to get to the end result and it is not guaranteed to be easy.

Growth will take place in whatever form is necessary to take you to the next level, and once you truly grab hold to all it has to offer, things seem to be put in perspective and you see why it was necessary. Now the beautiful part of it all is that there is no way to get around or rid of it. You can choose to ignore it, but it’s always there moving through you, around you, evolving and shaping everything. It’s something that spreads through your whole being telling you what you need to do to fuel it, which essentially fuels you.

So we must begin to see Growth as a state of being, a way of life, a mentality, something we all have to choose to do, in most cases, in order to get ahead where mere improvements won’t cut it. Now note, there is nothing wrong with improvements, as long as they are apart of your overall growth and not just ploys to show you can achieve something if desired to. Because Real Growth will guide you to see the error in your ways and create that desire to want to improve and do better if for even no one else but yourself. But you must keep the motives pure because tainting such a precious process could destroy you. So I implore everyone to grow to be better not bitter.
