These Fifteen Lessons Made Me Realize How Much I Have Grown
Everyday truth from someone who grew up slow
One day, you will wake up, and you will realize you were not the same person who went to bed last night.
But most mornings you will wake up the same person.
Yet over time, change happens. Imperceptibly. Until one day you realize you’ve grown into the person you’ve always hoped to be.
For a long time, I wasn’t sure who I wanted to be. I imagined that once I got there, it would be a triumphant celebration. A fanfare of glorious cacophony, perhaps, adored by thousands. Known. Recognized. Talented. Successful. Prosperous. It took a while coming,
So imagine my surprise, when I woke up in the place I wanted to be. It was quiet, accepting, and open. There were no adoring crowds. My name was not up in lights. But I knew deep within, I had obtained the greatest goal of my life — reaching and growing into a place where I was fully me.
These fifteen lessons came afterward, as a realization rather than inspiration. I am writing this in the hope that they will inspire you; that you will know exactly the kind of person you are and who you want to be. You will be able to position yourself in the journey called life.
