Growing is blossoming.

Every living organism experiences growth. 

The growth of a coffee bean may look different from lettuce growth. A whale's growth looks different from that of a butterfly. A human being's growth looks different from plant growth. 

Yet, the truth stands that all living organisms grow.

 It's what we were born to do.

 

However, we don't all grow in the same way, at the same time or within the same time frame. You've heard the phrases "He's a big kid," or "She's too big for her britches" or "I wonder if you will ever grow up." There are many more along the same line, and some less than kind and not so cute about the stage, time and or manner of growth of an individual. Granted there are some specific markers that help us know that our growth is making progress. Its important to understand that growth is 

a process for each individual.

 

Of course, if you don't note any progress in your growth, it may be cause to reflect, review and regenerate your process because if you're not growing, chances are you're not blossoming. 

Blossoming is the way we live a fully engaged, balanced and joyful life.

SURRENDER   O ne Surrender isn't submission. Two Surrender doesn't mean defeat. Three Surrender is a path to peace. sky I'm not one for watching war movies, however I have seen some meaningful movies about war, or more appropriately lessons learned from war. Among those movies lessons about surrender are very poignant. Keeping in mind "creative license" these movies target depictions of senseless killing, the inhumanity and overall devastation of war. Paradoxically, from this angle, a war movie effectively presents a case for surrender because there are times when surrender is the path to peace.   In many religious, spiritual and even therapeutic practices "surrender" is also called "letting go" in order to end suffering, restore balance and/or heal. Suffice to say, many people don't want to "let go" because they feel or fear it means defeat. On the contrary, science, spiritual practices and the history of war has proven that oft...

SEE One Look and see. Two Open your mind's eye   t o   s e e . Three Pay attention to see.   I love "Search and Find" puzzles.   I especially like the " traditional " puzzle books where you have to actually circle the words you find.   This "traditional" method might seem boring, slow and methodical compared to all the new high-tech online "Search and Find" game Apps, yet I find it helps me appreciate   how I see in a meaningful way.     For example, I was getting frustrated when it was taking too long to see a word I knew was in a puzzle (it had to be). As it turns out I had not looked at the word correctly and therefore could not see (and would never find it) in that puzzle.   I was reminded again of how paying attention, really does help see things you might otherwise not see. kappa puzzles The physical eye is an immeasurable asset for living an independent life with a feeling of freedom.  Our sight is pr...

GIFT

red GIFT One Each of us has a gift. Two Your gift is worth sharing. Three Sharing your gift will be a reward to others and yourself. Maybe you've heard it said before, sharing is caring. However, if that doesn't work for you, know that sharing your gift (your talent) will yield rewards you never imagined. It's true, this follows another axiom that giving is better (or at least) as good as getting. Even children on the playground recognize this (on a basic level) that "When I share, I can make friends. I am doing something nice. I feel good when I share." Still even those of us who understand this positive principle may be reluctant to share, held back by some misunderstanding that only certain kinds of gifts are needed, appreciated and/or rewarded.  The Truth is each of us has a gift (note I didn't say special gift), to share whether we are a professional, amateur or simply have a natu ral talent.
