09/05/16 – You Grow, We Grow

Evolution doesn’t happen when things are easy, a stressor is necessary.  Evolution, growth, requires both challenge and the ability to adapt to it.  Extinction or decline is a lack of adaptability to that stress event.

Adaptation is a process of liberating resources that, up ’til now, have lain dormant.  And applying them in an effective strategy to overcome the challenging event – evolution is an expression of the potential that lies within.

We witnessed it once again today…  Standing at the threshold, unnerved by a crashing set of waves, you were about to turn around and walk away.  But instead, drawing on resources from within and without, you moved into the challenge.  From that instant on the beach and all the way out to The Point, growth was occurring.  It wasn’t the beginning, nor the end, but another step in our endless evolution.
You grow, we grow.
