Life and Growth

Life is changing. The opportunities are limitless and this is forcing us to grow day by day. Actually, this is the only way to understand who we are and what makes sense to us. Even at the most trivial moments, we are in fact learning, adapting our minds, creating new meaning and changing.

That is why we must take seriously our personal growth: we must take the path of virtue willingly and consciously. Our future depends on how we live today, how we change ourselves and how we grow. Not only we will imbue increasingly complex meanings to the remarkable actions we take in the present. If we feel we need to change ourselves to adapt to our life, it is because not changing is making us have the sensation of incompleteness or unhappiness.

Not growing, or better put, growing in an insincere manner will eventually makes us feel stuck and pointless, maybe leading to the brink of despair or apathy. Instead, if we manage to cultivate our true self, these limitless opportunities almost surely will continue to fit in and bring joy, in a larger and larger picture.
