Adding the "-ing": A Practical Guide to Evolution

Our lives aren't static but dynamic, ever-changing as we grow through phases, hardships, experiences, laughters, joys and technology advancement. All these requires one to be at the their tiptoes, updating their CVs frequently. As I always say: "Personal development my daily dosage," so should it be.

Personal development my daily dosage. ~Nnessy💕

I became a victim of dormancy subconsciously, which I believe can be a thing for most people. Switched from an extrovert into an introvert. Found solace in my cocoon and became a victim of fear. What kept me going was faith, family, friends and God, not forgetting my ikigai _ my blog, YouTube channel and poetry club. Back in the days, I was never affected by people's perception of me nor their opinions, all these played a role in shaping me to be a better self not destruction but I want to believe there a crack in me which escalated into my walls breaking, lost of self identity and reaching my rock-bottom; story for another day. Switched from tackling challenges to accepting defeat. The point is I ceased existing/evolving and found comfort in my cocoon, an empire i created for self reliance.

Evolution is scary and gives goosebumps. Imagine navigating around something you know nothing about and figuring your way out. Its like a walk in the maze with challenges, uncertainties and breaking points; though victory is promising as you keep moving. You ought to build on courage and confidence. 

Once a stone always a stone is a wrong mindset, stones weather and can be sculpted too. Have the butterfly mindset, one day larvae, some days pupa and some the beautiful flying creature. Grow even if it seems impossible. Nobody has it all together but what distincts us is our level of willingness to learn, come out of our comfort zones and apply change.

So long you are a living being, keep on adding the ' -ing' to your to-do list of activities as it reminds you that you're evolving. It is a process, discard the comfort zone, create turbulence that propel you to the next level in life, leaving room for growth.

Have the growth mindset.
