Beginning: Reason
For me growth is something of a large importance. Others might see it as an obstacle to overcome due to laziness or procrastination. Some might just be so focused on the bigger picture that growth doesn’t come into their mind. Not for me. Growth for me is a life-long path that’s felt within my soul. That’s why I begin. What’s the reason for one to grow? What’s the goal and the outcome? The question is answered only through understanding who you are. The “HIS”story of humanity…
Since the beginning of man, we have always created. Any possibility that can be created will be. Because humans have the power of creation. On a limited scale of course, however one still strong enough to propel us far beyond where we have started. However, creation cannot come without consequence. There is an equal and opposite reaction for everything. For having created so much, our minds have now become a shell of what they should be due to automation. From the time when I was a child, the internet was never a big part of my life, yet. It changed everything for me. From how I escape, to how I meet people, and become distracted. It was a relationship of fun and distraction, not seeing it as a tool of great power. Most of my generation generally was like this, some worse than others, and some worse than a lot. This is the “HIS”story of our creation. From wooden planked or stone built houses, to skyscrapers. From barely being able to travel, to trains designed to cross entire cities. Most people understand this on a general sense, in fact I’d say all people understand this. Yet, they don’t understand the power of knowing this on a more fundamental level. The power of creation is also at your fingertips. Even more so now than ever. Tools designed to ease our lives, and spaces given to connect with people. It is honestly crazy when your truly sit down and think about it. How far we have come. How much we’ve lost. How much was gained. It’s undeniably the true power of humanity. Creation.
Middle: Why?
Well understanding the history is important, it’s also not the main point. The reason to create stems from our desire to achieve. The natural hierarchy of life is built through a chain. The food chain. Even though we are weak against the strong bite of an alligator or the hunting abilities of a lion, we are able to hone our mind and copy what we see. To replicate what we see and make it better. More functional for us and allows us to grow. This desire to achieve and grow is embedded into human nature. However, it also has it’s consequences. Failure. It’s a primal instinct to be afraid. Yet, being afraid to fail wasn’t always a fear until now. It’s only stemmed up as our minds weren’t being challenged to grow. Hearing and doing things that don’t challenge our thinking or intelligence. That is the problem in highly-dense technological countries. Outside of those countries, the desire to grow to that point is becoming a driving point. Can’t you see something really crazy, in America, people have grown to unbelievable heights, yet a lot haven’t challenged their own way of thinking. Yet, there are people even more unbelievable in other countries. Challenging their thinking and accomplishing outside of just the perceived view of accomplishments. Everyone all over the world, no matter if you have access to the internet or not, are accomplishing what they believe they should. Growing and creating something that is desired truly by them. That’s why. Because no matter who or where you are. Growth never stops not even for the slightest.
End: Failure
This is the main focal point of our time. The fear to fail. The internet has changed our minds in an astronomical way. Automating our lives, turning it upside down completely. What we’ve been set and almost forced to see are distractions. Such as, literal brain rot. We all know about that mess. Yet, there are even more distractions that more unhealthy. Being addicted to the internet and consuming any and everything that distracts you. It’s the escape to another reality outside of real life. It doesn’t force you to grow, you must choose to grow using the internet. When reality and stressful situations creep up, and you have to think for yourself. How do you even come to a correct decision? Thus, the fear of failure has developed even more and more. We fear growth because we fear failure. Which develops a low self confidence. Because, you have achieved… nothing. The only way to bind the chain that is low confidence is to accomplish. That is to gain achievements that are true to you. Taking a test and scoring a high grade even though it doesn’t matter to you does not count. It must be something that you understand is an achievement.To grow and fail, to learn. For me, its gaining intelligence. If I can understand how the world works, my confidence would shoot up like a burning star. To find this achievement or at least, what you want to achieve, the struggle to start will lessen. As you genuinely want to accomplish this. Doubt and uncertainty will also fade. The negative emotions that burden your everyday life will slowly fade. As the only path you understand is the one only you can take. No matter what. Grow. Achieve. Accomplish. Whatever your heart desires. As that is the truth of humanity. To constantly and unforgivably grow.
