Once something is defined as “new”, the mind wanders and wonders. Look at New Coke. Nope. News is new, but the legs have fallen off in recent times. A new coat makes you feel good without reproach. A new day brings opportunities. New shoes a different kind of strut. New Year’s is celebratory for other reasons. A new job brings challenges and trepidation.
The face you bring to the game sets the stage for success. Inquiring, questioning, affirming, and appreciation, are the mettle that raises you to the challenge. How you are perceived will become part of your pedigree. That is the value you bring and develop. The road forward is built on your strengths and understanding.
Being at peace within yourself gives rise to a confidence and poise allowing your mind to absorb new ideas and processes, as well as enabling you to understand without prejudice. While experience is what you lean on, knowledge and its development will make you grow. A short tree can become tall in a forest well fertilized and tended. Reaching higher for more nutrient. Homo Sapien’s food for development comes from information.
The day you stop learning is the day you stop growing. Learn always, grow often. Proffer you knowledge when asked. Opine when asked. The two are different but both respected. Questions are in fact requests for growth. The answers can either be inert or rich with fodder. Discerning the difference must be calculated.
Be you, but be with them. We are on this planetary orb to exchange information, grow information, and understand information. We have the largest brain by weight of any organism. It has developed this way because we have developed this way. You mind is a sponge-like tool to which we owe our existence. Like a sponge, things move in and out, get morphed and expanded. Use it to its utmost.
By design you are distinct from every other in the world. Twins too are each slightly different. Clones too would be different as well. To walk in someone else’s shoes is an aphorism and not reality. I am different, you are different, we are different. Revel in bot the similarities and differences.
Do everything you do, best.
Steam those grounds Gertrude, Strong is what I need today.
