One of my facebook friends (King Matthew) posted something today that caught my attention. It was a deep statement regarding people's growth and the process of leaving the past and transitioning into our present/future selves.

Sometimes we need to make changes way deep down inside to truly grow. On the outside we may seem to be dressing the part of someone doing well for ourselves however if there is no change on the inside then what progress has truly been made??

Superficial change does not change the state of the soul.

Check it out what King had to say:


"A BUTTERFLY IS A BUTTERFLY BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CAN DO, NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE WINGS. IN ORDER TO EVOLVE FROM A CATERPILLAR INTO A BUTTERFLY, YOU MUST BUILD STRENGTH FROM SHEDDING YOU'RE COCOON. MEANING SEPARATE YOU'RE SELF FROM THE PPL, PLACES & THINGS FROM YOU'RE PAST. NOT FOREVER, JUST UNTIL YOU'VE LEARNED HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY FLY. IF NOT YOU'RE JUST A CATERPILLAR WALKING AROUND WITH PRETTY WINGS ON YOUR BACK".

King usually has very interesting / encouraging / inquisitive postings up each day, that serve as great debate starting points (even tho I'm certain that he doesn't think alot of his views are debatable -- I beg to differ).

He is a personal trainer so for you ladies are looking for someone to motivate you physically as well as mentally I would recommend King's services. You can contact him via facebook here.

Unthinkable

Staying on the topic of music for a moment I just have to share another song with you all that I can't seem to get out of my head. Alicia Keys must definitely be in serious love with the boy Swizzy because her writing is on another level right now.


Take a listen to my favorite song off her new album The Element of Freedom"



"Moment of honesty
Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say.... You should say it right now
You ready?

You give me a feeling that I never felt before...
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore.....
And I can't take it" Read more!

I wrote these words on my facebook status about a month back but felt the need to re-visit these sentiments this morning:

The grass is defintely NOT always greener on the otherside. Most times our very own garden is perfect AFTER we do some weeding! First, cut the grass really low, so that you can see the garden snakes. When you spot them don't just let them get away with ruining your lawn... toss the suckers out! Most of us have a hard time doing that last part (slippery suckers) but I've learned that the sooner you do that, the more time you have to enjoy how beautiful your landscape becomes without them! :)

The moral of the story is... NEVER envy others and always have your eyes open to the people/emotions you allow into your inner space!! People tend to put up a front like life is great on their side of the fence. And I'm not saying that it's always a front. We ALL have issues that we need to address. Whether it's a backstabbing friend or a more internal conflict like low self esteem. Whatever the case don't assume that trying to be like someone else or wanting what someone else has is the solution. Look within your own space to find peace. What can you do to improve YOU!?! Once you tend to your own garden it will begin to flourish! You needn't look any further! Read more!
