Darwin was onto something...

humans are in constant motion. we live to move. some of us may be moving at a bit of a slower pace, but we are all moving about in many different directions. yet all of those directions lead to a communal whole. and this motion, like a flock, created a bigger picture, in which each of us contributes.

it occurred to me today, that all of us have gotten to where we are through a personal evolution. we all have personal milestones which we have attained, and we are at a place in life because of our individual movements.

i can be one of those people who likes to dive right into things. i like big change and like my life to become what i am moving towards fairly quickly. but it dawned on me today - after having "messed up" again - that the progress i am making is a linear accumulation of all my triumphs and all my falling downs. as they say in business, it's not about the result of a single episode, it's about the trend. where are you going and what evolution have you progressed towards.

so it is with pride that i see everything that has happened to me in the last year as an evolution to a better me. i've accomplished SO much. and just because i am not "there" yet, i am always working towards it. what's the rush right? i have my whole life.

now i am looking for someone who will evolve with me, and not for that person who is "there" now. as long as we are able to move in the same direction together (even if it's on different paths), i can love being and growing with them. same with my body. it is not going back to the way it was a year ago. it sometimes gets a little wonky, but it's still better than it was. and the problems i am still trying to overcome are getting better. then trend is good.

so it is a personal reminder and a reminder to anyone reading this to love the journey and be proud of what you have accomplished, while still striving for your most lovely dreams. and they will come true! whether you are the tortoise or the hare. we can all evolve together to make this world better than it has ever been - a conscious world ~
