GROW OR DIE

All of those little things we do on a daily basis mean more than we might realise. The seemingly trivial habits we form can add up to something good or bad. From the time the alarm goes off in the morning until hours after the sun sets at night, we have many hours to make decisions which will cause us to either grow or die.

The growth or dying of our souls, our dreams. Our very existence depends on those minor details which form the people we become. The lack of progress towards a goal we set out to accomplish will show up as the death of the version of ourselves we initially had in mind.

Consistency is most important in every endeavour. Whether it is learning a new language or instrument, daily practice is key. Though at times we encounter obstacles, it is more important at such a time to keep going and to refrain from making any excuses.

Excuses which we find so simple to form and explain away. Such as the rain which prevents us from taking that walk when we can just as easily adapt to some other form of physical activity indoors. Or the book we tell ourselves we do not have time to read but then spend hours scrolling social media on our phones.

At any point in our lives, we can choose to continue walking on the path towards our envisioned future or wander off the path to find reasons that we cannot continue on the one leading to our intended destination. Ultimately, the decision is ours whether we wish to grow. Excuses are everywhere and only we have the power to control them.
