Questioning Assumptions: Driving Growth 

My mind is both my most powerful asset and my biggest liability. I’m both propelled forward and held back. Thus I constantly question my mind, my assumptions, my drive. I seek out opportunities to grow. 

Seeking Growth

With deepest rigor

I am always seeking growth

Autumn leaves still fall

Today’s Motivation: The Best Time To Plant A Tree 


I find myself doubting my past, second guessing my choices. This quote, this proverb  reminds me of the pointlessness of that behavior. That I need to keep my eyes in the now, on the future. And so I get up and move forward. 

Lessons about Winning 

I struggle to see 

That “not losing” and “winning”

Are not the same thing

I’ve been working on myself lately. Adjusting my.mind, embracing the possibilities, and releasing all the fears lurking within, holding me back.

Today’s Haiku: Seeking Greatness

As I seek greatness
I look for something richer
Than mere dominance

The problems of someone else

Forward Motion

It’s always time 

<

p style=”font-family:"”>For forward motion

<

p style=”font-family:"”>To step away from my past

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Into my future

<

p style=”font-family:"”>As the present fades

<

p style=”font-family:"”>Into dust 

Always seek to grow

Always seeking growth

And to manage all my fears

Become what I want 

It’s frightening, at times, to always seek growth. It requires constant reminders to watch for fear, the temptation to be comfortable. As a writer and artist, I see how critical it is to push boundaries. Mine as well as others. Perhaps mine are the most important boundaries to smash through. Destroying that which holds me back, which robs me of joy.
