Once again, Spring has come with all its glory and everything is in full bloom. In my own life I can't help but to see the same happening in several ways. This whole month of May, I've had a lot of time to think about the next step and the growth that awaits in so many ways. Change is exciting and a natural high when it's in its early onset. After some time though, when it settles in some more into your actual logic and reasoning, you realize the work ahead and approach it with a more steadfast mindset rather than just the wild passion there was at the beginning.
Life has been good. However, it seems that when you graduate from a previous chapter that the next one comes pretty soon after and I think the challenge is that we would like to prolong that from happening for just a little longer so that we could soak in the glorious triumph from our fresh success. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, this is also where the danger of plateauing is. Take just a little longer than is necessary and before you know it, you may be manipulating things to stay the way they are now so that you can set life on cruise control. What started out as hard for you to do before, you've now mastered and this is now easy for you. Reasoning says to keep doing this because it's good and why would it be bad to continue? It took you so long to get to where you are. You worked hard and learned new habits that weren't easy to acquire. If life was on cruise control from here on out, would that be such a bad thing?
