How do you measure growth?

Society often defines growth in terms of achievements, wealth, or external milestones - but real growth is often subtle.

○ Is growth the ability to respond calmly to a situation that once triggered you?
○ Is growth releasing an old belief that no longer serves you?

The word of the day is: Abracadabra (noun) - According to Merriam-Webster, this means
1.) A magical charm or incantation
2.) Unintelligible language

This word has much deeper significance however when associated with the the Hebrew phrase "avra k'davra" meaning: "I will create as I speak"

Financial stability comes from spending only what you have and can afford...

Similarily, at the end of the day, the only true currencies you own are yourself & time.

So, be intentional with HOW you spend your time -

☯️ The Yin-Yang Symbol

A core concept of Taoism, Yin and Yang represent two opposite yet complementary forces interacting to create balance and harmony.

This idea alone is powerful—but the true transformation comes in its embodiment.

This is where Wu Wei comes in.

Remember,
Emotions (E-Motions) are "Energy in Motion"
so, rather then suppress a feeling or emotion that you're experiencing, embrace it.
Allow it to flow, because just like a moving vehicle, if you slam the brakes you will damage your car & increase the risk of an accident.

What did you do when you first woke up?

Check phone? Stretch?
Hit snooze?
Meditate? Brush teeth?
Get food? Get ready?

Whatever you did,
pay attention - the way you start the day can & will significantly impact the course for the rest of your day!

Instruments & tools each have specific abilities & typical applications, but real magic becomes present from these instruments / tools when unique, individual-perspective flow orchestrates the tone & manifests the manual.

I've always wanted to try doing a self-portrait, but since my past artistic ability was essentially tracing, stick figures, & little doodles, I never attempted to do so.
However - after learning & practicing #pixelart , I was able to finally give it a try!

"The pen is mightier than the sword"
Used in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's
1839 play "Richelieu",
it means that the power of words & ideas can have a greater impact on people and events than violence.

The original phrase is powerful, however, if you were to add on to the sentence & evolve it to:

Without expectations,
Without preconceived notions,
Without labels, names, & titles,

When you learn to be boundless and imaginative, without restriction,
