Growing from within

I told my kid, these are your growing years and you won’t grow after a certain age. It took me all these years to realize that you never stop growing! Growing from within, is something that stops when ‘you’ call the quits. So, now I wonder, if food and sleep helps kids grow, what’s my food to grow from within? Is it spirituality/ meditation that helps one observe silence and listen to the inner self or is it reading / knowledge that you read and go deeper into thinking? Either ways it’s inside of me, it’s always been there. It’s just a matter of how long you take to find that the beauty lies inside you all the while. And then everything is beautiful around you. Now I just wish I could show the world this way of life!

So are they missing something by not knowing this? I don’t think so! Then how do they grow? Do they grow at all? Why do you need to grow, I mean like what if I don’t grow from within, duh, it’s not going to make any difference to anyone at all!!! What’s the big deal then???? Well what would happen to a plant that doesn’t grow, it looks frail and losses its freshness and eventually dies. But could the plant have grown only if they thought to themselves “I’m going to grow no matter what, if I get water or not, if there is sunlight or not, I shall grow come what may!” Hell no! That means it’s not only me growing from within, there surely are external factors like water and sunlight that make that process in one’s life enhanced. Then it is up to me to find the light within and look for the light helping me from out, but more than that I want to know for who and how can I be that light or water for someone else to grow within. Now that’s beauty redefined!

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
