Grow, And You Will Grow Together

Life, ideas, and the people that own them, progress throughout time. Maturation of thought and conception of the world is a gift meant to move us forward to new depths. New depths and new revelation are not — in fact, cannot be — reached without open reception of new thoughts and ideas. This does not mean that you have to accept every new viewpoint, or agree with it. But, if you refuse new input without consideration; dismiss on grounds of preconceived notions — with no openness to information that could change or update them — you will become irrelevant.

Life is structured so that no human being need become irrelevant without their consent. Involvement, investment, open ears and hearts, awareness and love — not to be mistaken for ideological weakness or consent — are the keys to growth and progression. Progress and grow as you were meant to, and you won’t become irrelevant.

Grow, and you will grow together. Progress, as you were made to, and you will not be left behind.

Irrelevance was never your irrevocable life sentence. Don’t accept it.
