Are We Growing Or Dying?

Our lives run in cycles.

We are the constants, with our flaws n strengths…

And it seems we have repeat challenges surrounding our personalities;

Those rough edges, we want to shave off;

They don’t go away.

We get better at managing them.

Life presents us with situations to help achieve that goal;

Sometimes so humbling;

Battles in various shapes, sizes, and colors!

Sometimes in the form of who we meet or what we encounter.

How we respond does matter;

For it is the decider between growth or regression.

Each cycle has its lesson[s] which we ought to keep;

Sometimes, these lessons learned are eternal!

We will need them for future battles.

And yes, another cycle will come!

If we are constants in our lives and each cycle has the potential for growth,

do we have a choice?
