Grow Through It
Summary
Reflecting on your relationships can help you evolve your views, beliefs, and perceptions. Past experiences often cloud our judgment, limiting our future interactions. Instead, why not approach others with curiosity and openness, rather than making quick judgments? It's like dismissing a banana split because it looks messy!Keywords

It's late, but tonight I have no morning commitments, so I let my thoughts wander. What do I think about? Life, the divine, society's state, and my next steps on my journey. Though staying present is important, there is value in reflection.
Reflecting on past weeks allows me to assess my interactions and their impact?"both mine on others and theirs on me. Sadly, some exchanges are negative due to a lack of insight. Friendship can indeed be fickle.
I'm often surprised by the mistakes we adults make: holding onto flawed beliefs, rushing into relationships for fear of time slipping away, or judging others too quickly. Often, these interactions reflect our insecurities more than others. My challenges often mirrored my own expectations shaped by past experiences. I decided to challenge these preconceptions and open up to new perspectives.
Many of us wear masks to keep others at bay, shaped by past betrayals or advice to stay guarded. However, I’ve found freedom in authenticity. I prefer discussing heartfelt and spiritual matters openly.
When people remain guarded during conversations, it can feel distrustful. Trusting others is often a path to becoming trustworthy ourselves. By being vulnerable, I show that I trust and am trustworthy.
This was confirmed during a coffee meeting with a woman who wanted to improve certain aspects of her life. I shared my life openly, and by the end, she felt she could trust me completely because of the authenticity I projected. Others, however, may not respond the same way.
Another woman, with whom I spent more time, did not find me trustworthy despite the same openness. Her preconceived stereotypes clouded her judgment, preventing her from truly seeing me. This highlights how bias and past experiences can filter our perceptions.
When discussing trust and power dynamics, I had to frame it in terms of my experiences, hoping she might see a different perspective. If someone gives up their power in certain situations, it calls into question their relationship with themselves. Do they trust themselves?
While we should be cautious, being overly guarded stops us from learning and growing. Challenges are opportunities for growth. My grandfather used to say, "You don't just go through it, you grow through it."
Not everyone desires to control others. Most of us cherish meaningful exchanges that empower and challenge each party. This leaves me pondering:
- Why are you afraid?
- Who are you really afraid of?
- What do you truly want?
By asking these questions, we can better understand ourselves and our relationships, paving the way for personal growth and deeper connections.
