Seeing Growth Is Not An Option, It Is Necessary
When we want to get a point across, it is always best to express ourselves clearly. We have to say exactly what we mean and we can’t change the meaning of our words when we are questioned about our statements. We have to stand behind our word because it becomes our bond to those that receive it. Once a word leaves our mouth it becomes a part of history, and although history can be made,…

Most of us have taken steps forward in life and left behind memories of some times that we lived life at less than our best. Not only did we not meet our own expectations, we sometimes disappointed those that meant the most to us – including ourselves. We have overcome situations that became simple for us to participate in, to grow beyond them into situations that are more challenging, frustrating, and demanding. It sometimes seems…

There are times and places for all different types of attitudes. Times to joke, times to relax, times slow down, times to give some extra effort, times to get serious, and times to quit playing.

We sometimes miss the smallest things in life by moving too fast. We miss the true beauty of things, small details, and important parts of the meaning of things when we move too fast. Slowing down helps us keep track, focus, and relieves the pressure of a “hurry, hurry, hurry lifestyle.” By rushing we miss things like the way our children, loved ones, and peers are growing. By slowing down our life just a little,…

Sometimes, people are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. LOVE THEM ANYWAY!!! This statement could be looked at from several different ways, but let’s put us in the place of these unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered people. There are times in life when we seem to run into brick walls by trying to communicate with people. No matter what we say or do will not make any sense to them and nothing that they say or do makes…

How’s It Growing? Some people talk about your mother, father, kids, and you like you are less than dogs. I can understand that they feel that others need to hear their opinion, but they should understand that every person that they offend will not come around to be a part of their next opinion. “Out of site – Out of mind.” Gave A Great Day #SeeingGrowth #HowsItGrowing Emmanuel BrownFounder of Seeing Growth and Label Me…
