Prejudices,
-Charlotte Brontë
it is well known,
are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertili[z]ed by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.
Natural growth vs. unnatural slowth
Birds flocking together. Bikers drafting together. Cohesion for a greater, stronger whole.
Parasites draining. Batteries depleting. Infections spreading against the holistic whole.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
This is how character is built.
Built. Grown. They both work.
When do you consider you are done building? Fixed mindset.
Will you continually tend to your personal growth? Growth mindset.
There is no instantaneous shift here.
Both work in increments over time.
Accreting here; depleting there.
Recognizing the difference.
Growing amidst them.
Accreting more;
depleting less.
Normality is a paved road. It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
-Vincent Van Gogh

We don’t stop playing because we grow old,
-George Bernard Shaw
we grow old because
we stop playing.
Have some fun with it. No need to be so serious when finding ways to grow and improve.
Enjoy your journey, time you spend working on yourself. Accretiate those good feelings :)
Maybe it is wise. Maybe it is dumb. Time will tell.
