Having been thru & continue to go thru all kinds of pain (physical, psychic, emotional, spiritual PAIN), a part of me must agree that change, strength, wisdom & growth all lie on the other side of it. Thus, the opposite of growth would be stagnation.
Besides, who wants to live a life where nothing ever grows, improves or changes for the better?
I agree with you, Reggie. I tell that to my nephew all the time. He's 14, on the high school football team with dreams of winning the heisman one day, and playing for Oregon State, but he's lazy and doesn't want to do to work. I tell him all the time that he's gonna have to do to work in order to get he wants.
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
