Growing is a process that isn't easy for anyone, whether it is physical,
emotional or really in any aspect of one's life. It can be daunting, arduous,
but also the most fulfilling thing that can ever happen to one's life. In this
formation of someone's life it is absolutely essential to have another by your
side. This position cannot be held by just anyone, it takes a special person,
who has many of the best qualities we can possess as people. These qualities
include patience, understanding, empathy, and kindness. As I have found this
evolution of someone's higher thinking is often most difficult when you hurt
the people around you, especially those who are those special ones that help
you. Normally when someone grows as a person, they grow away from the
restraints of their pasts and hindrances of their present. Therefore patience
must be practiced because growing away from the skeletons of your past can be
difficult, because of a constant yearning for the "old" you and the longing for
that certain comfort that you find in previous experiences, good or bad.
Empathy must also be used for those experiences of which we do not remember
fondly, none-the-less they have provided a catalyst for change and growth. As
for the hindrances of our present, we are often blind to what impedes us on our
path to development. To make this easier, one must be met with kindness and
understanding, of the difficulty of not only recognizing the wrongs, but also
distancing ourselves from the wrongs forever.Though every day of life has been
a growing experience, at all different speeds, I still know that there is much
more to learn and much more that I need to habituate. So I ask all of you, who
have had their lives interrupted by personal development, keep displaying these
qualities and continue on the campaign that encourages healthy and positive
growth within our short lives.
