Personal Growth and Creating
What’s it for? Who’s it for? This writing. My own personal development? My own growth? Insight? Just because I said I would do it? To serve others in some way? Who, specifically, are those others? These are just some of the questions. What about the answers? The writing is for growth – my own and others. If I don’t grow, I can’t help others grow. I cannot delight and inspire from a small position of fear and lack of confidence. A position of doubt, as opposed to wonder (which is ok). That’s why we put on our mask first. Yes, this is a “me first” effort because it has to be. I have to grow. To understand my strengths and weaknesses and to use them accordingly. Far from perfection but always growing. Towards what. Up and out. As I grow inward, the “results” can’t help but emerge from my mind and heart, like a new plant emerging from a seed carefully cultivated and watered. I have seeds within my heart and mind. I need to water them and let them sprout and grow so that the world can enjoy what emerges. And not everyone will, but let it grow, let it grow. Some will wither and not survive (and that’s ok). Others will grow strong and sturdy – and that’s great! The seeds won’t grow, and nothing will emerge if they are not well taken care of.

Ultimately, I am writing (and speaking) for your growth. But…it starts with my growth. I have to show up. No, I must show up. Showing up takes effort. It’s scary. It’s risky. It’s uncomfortable. It’s paralyzing. And…it’s necessary. That’s interesting. Why is it necessary? What’s wrong if I just want to hang out like I am? Comfortable, riding the in rowboat of life (don’t rock it!), and dying. We are all dying. And we are all living. The first statement is absolutely true. The second one…not so much so. I am just now beginning to realize that I have missed that part of the equation in my life. Start where I am. Right now. Right here. Keep living. Keep showing up. Even if I am just peeking around the
