KNOWING • Part 2: Interpreting Your History
But over time, something shifts. Experience teaches us what to expect. We develop preferences. We form protections. We start to organize the world into safe and unsafe, acceptable and unacceptable. Without even realizing it, we begin to confine the very parts of ourselves that once reached out so freely. The openness narrows. The clay hardens.
And yet, the invitation to grow never leaves us. The possibility of learning remains, no matter your age or stage of life. Growth is always within reach.
When you approach life with an open mind, curiosity returns. You begin to notice that every experience, especially the hard ones, can become a teacher. You start to recognize that what you believe is not always what is true. And from that gentle awareness, something beautiful unfolds: space. Space to reimagine who you are and who you are still becoming.
You are not finished. You are still forming. And every moment offers you the chance to learn something new about yourself, to shift an old belief, to soften a hardened place, or to take one more step into the fullness of your potential.
