WE GROW WHEN…

We realize it is impossible to walk through without a botched job, soured friendships, maladies and pain…

Without a love leaving us, without a family failure, defeat, crisis or death…

Nevertheless we grow when there is no vacuum of hopes, debilitated will or loss of faith…

We grow when we accept realities and resolve to live to the fullest extent… when we accept our failures but will ourselves to change.

We grow when we assimilate what we have to leave behind…building up what lies ahead and projecting what the future could be.

We grow when we transcend valuing what we are ourselves, and leave fruitful deeds along the path we walk by…

We grow when we open road, leaving lasting footsteps behind assimilating experiences, planting seeds for roots to grow from…

We grow when we define our goals without regard to negative opinions, prejudices, opposition or discord…

We grow when we become examples to follow without regard to mockery, rejection or disdain if we know we are giving one hundred percent of ourselves.

We grow when we are strong because of character, sustained by exercise and training, sensitive by temperament… and human by birth and will.

We grow when we are facing winters even if the cost is to lose leaves while we do so. when we pick up flowers despite their thorns, and when we keep on walking despite the dark and the dust.

We grow when we are capable of standing firm when only traces of illusions sustain… when we are capable of scenting our paths with just scraps of torn scattered petals and lighten up ourselves when just a love´s flicker remains

We grow by helping others… daring to know what we really are… giving life more than what she gives us.

We grow when we stand up firm without backing, out of doubt, weakness and pain.

When we resist as an eagle and do not stop flying… when we anchor ourselves in righteousness…and light up, with our resolve, the darkness of adversities…
It is only then when we grow! We grow when we believe, trust, wait and rest on our Creator and Lord!
