My rules for Growth.
“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”
― C. JoyBell C.
“Just because I liked something at one point in time doesn’t mean I’ll always like it, or that I have to go on liking it at all points in time as an unthinking act of loyalty to who I am as a person, based solely on who I was as a person. To be loyal to myself is to allow myself to grow and change, and challenge who I am and what I think. The only thing I am for sure is unsure, and this means I’m growing, and not stagnant or shrinking.”

Growth comes in different ways. Life should bring growth and growth brings change, when we talk about how people have changed, i realize and know am one of them. My change has been brought by my desires for happiness, desires for a good career, desires for a good life and desires for a good relationship. Who said we cannot have it all?
Some years back, after realizing i was stagnant, i started my journey of change. i was like water in a pond that stands for long without flowing forward. I had started turning green, forming some residue that had some awful smell, i realized that i was that water in a pond, which i wouldn't even drink. I decided to break out the pond and flow, flow to where i could drain to the sea of happiness and self fulfillment, so i set some rules in my life that have taken me far, through a huge change and the growth is unbelievable!, and the self fulfillment that has come with it is fucking awesome... Sshhh no i did not use the f word!.

And so, i started thinking independently, yea, i stopped consulting alot and started doing just what i thought was right and good for me. There's nothing wrong with consulting with friends or family but you have to realise that not everyone has the same ambitions as you, so you will get all kinds of advice based on how they view the world and you end up scaring off your own thoughts. We all know my thoughts are quite different, i see no limits to excelence, i have no limits!, though i know lots of people have limits and it does feel safe,but not for me, i think and plan then flap my wings like an eager eagle, and sore above the clouds! If i fall with a bang! Then i just break a wing? Go to the avian vet, get it fixed and flap them once again, this time, a little bit more higher! Making this possible for me was the beginning of an exciting life.
I started being there for myself more! i love myself, thats not a secret but i was amazed at how i was always there for everyone, for my family, friends and i was good at it. One call from one who needed me and i was out in the next min, going to help out or just hang out, or go partying. I started feeling drained!, like you give 100 and get 50 back, and so i made up my mind that it's a 2 way road as one of my friend puts it. It did not go exactly well with everyone, some called and i was busy doing something else, something that i actually enjoyed doing! and so they pulled off,. 'It was too much heat to take!' as one of them put it! heat? it makes me laugh to date. I wasn't scared, i just learnt one thing! those who love you most always stay, and what quality of friendship i earned! it is 100 100 and wonderful to grow out the difference.
Another rule was to give myself the best, as to the best of my ability, in Quality and Comfort. I shop quality and comfortability. Gone are the days of freezing to shine! welcomed the days of warmth, elegancy and still shining. Gone are the days i would cramp into small spaces with 10 others in order to save! Don't get it wrong, i do think theres a time for everything, and life knows i have cramped and loved it, in those student years and nothing much mattered! but as the students days went by, i do believe, we should grow over the fact and start living like we earn! its not that hard and its so worth it! So lets go on holiday and invite me to one knowing, i am not stepping into hostels!, or crumpled hotels! hahaha..spoilt?…no..just living
So love me or hate me, i strived to be who i am, and bravo! to those who have kept up! Mad love.
LET'S GROW, LET'S LIVE AND MOVE ON.

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
