Growth and Change...

Just a quick thought on these two words and how they relate to us as humans. Every living thing around us grows and changes. Stop and picture our environment in a few weeks when Autumn finally lands. New crop growth ( apples, pumpkins and squash) with bursts of eye catching colors covering our land, sure signs that a new season of life is upon us. Now I'm positive that if these signs of Fall never arrived, or if Fall itself never arrived, we would be concerned. So why is it that most humans feel that we shouldn't constantly grow and change as our earth does. We get into a job, relationship or a stale routine that hinders our growth and we simply lay down to it, rather than making Change to stimulate Growth. Imagine if you planted a cherry tree in your back yard, which takes a good 10 years to mature and give fruit. The tree grows as expected for the first 4 years, but then suddenly stops growing and never produces the cherries you were hoping for. Would you suspect something was wrong with the tree? Did you feed it enough to grow as it got older and wiser? Was there environmental changes that ultimately took a toll on the tree? Or maybe it got used to the same old food and water day in and day out? My point here is pretty clear people. Seek the truth, feed yourself knowledge and keep your environment full of the substance you need to grow.
