See How We Grow

“As the world keeps changing so we as people, to keep up with the times, must learn to act and change with it.

“It is not frightening, simply an evolution of thought and practice.  Nobody is expected to get everything right in a day.

“Change comes in different ways, sometimes drastic, sometimes slowly, but always purposeful.

“Without change there can be no growth.  Like the ever changing seasons, which bring in fresh movements, new beginnings and birth, then a gradual evolving until all can be reaped as a reward, climaxing to what is needed and expected of us.

“Then the gradual slow down and eventual rest period that must come to us all, so although we are all having to change on a daily basis, the speed of that change is always variable depending on what is needed in our day to day lives.

“No one will remain static and we must learn to alter our minds to the various challenges, which we all face on a daily basis. 

“By being challenged we are able to stretch ourselves mentally and grow.  We see this happening especially with children.

“When mentally stimulated and challenged, they accomplish great feats of movement and success in their tiny lives.  We all marvel at a baby’s first steps, their first words.

“All this pulsating enthusiasm to move on and accomplish is set in the mind-set of us all.  We naturally must go forwards.  We must go with the tide of change and advancement.

“All of us are guided on our own individual paths of expertise to find out what we are inherently good at.

“All are good at something whether it is singing, expressing oneself, crafting something out of nothing, being a good listener, having compassion for others, being sporty or academic.

“No one is not good at anything – all have a certain ability to thrive and to excel.  It is our job, as an individual, to find out our strengths and our weaknesses and to fashion our strengths into something positive and worthwhile.

“The changes within our world will see our strengths challenged and further strengthened, for without that we cannot aspire to greater achievements.

“We all owe it to ourselves to try and go that extra mile.  It will prove dividends in the long term.”
