When do we downshift, or turn off even, our childlike desire to learn, explore, and grow?

Is there significant growth available to us from the physical act of writing down our thoughts? Is there growth on top of that even, from publishing them? It’s so easy to post things on social media. Isn’t it?

Next time you think of it, look at how few people share original content. Quotes are cool and inspiring, yet it’s not our voice. Where is our voice? When does it get used?

Are we trying to live vicariously through something Abe Lincoln or Hillary Clinton said?

Scary. Real.

Transformational.

Why?

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering. -St. Augustine

Knowing others is a decent indicator of emotional health yet knowing ourselves is the definitive sign of wisdom.
