To stop is to grow old ... | Ecency

Real life happens outside the story, in the act that pushes us to move. The story explains but does not replace the step. There is no need to take a step back, if you do not advance, it is enough.

The story of our life using it we use it to 'heal' we get caught up in fantasy and when it becomes anesthesia it appears: Not to move forward is to go backwards, especially in a moving world.

And I don't say this message to generate a feeling of guilt, but to warn about how laziness, and rigid ideas about what is right or not, we stop living new experiences and get stuck, and this leaves us behind if the world around you moves.

We even pray to the trauma, as if it were a totem, we ask for clarity but avoid change, we hold characters that we are no longer, we look for guilty so as not to assume responsibility and if that were not enough, we tend to collect explanations instead of decisions.

We have to work on the present and respect the past, sometimes our body itself gets tired of the same thing and we are forced to change, therefore, we have to act. Our story serves, only when it drives the action, the rest is a very well rehearsed internal theater.

The evolution of the times, in all orders, forces us to change. To stop is to grow old, but I think that sometimes it is necessary to stop for a while, to rethink our path.

The best example is always in our environment, if our partner, friends are always in constant evolution and we stay in the same place we don't need to go back, or do something badly done to stay behind. Not being up to the challenges of our time and our life is something that can happen to us.

In fact, many people, couples, and relationships end up not.because something bad will happen, but because there was a lack of mutual growth, perhaps in a process in which both feed back to be better. In a relationship, or in any bond when only one grows up and the other remains indifferent the probability that the world will become very distant is high.

Believe it or not, I am also for companies, friendships and relationships in general. We must accept change as part of life, because what reaches us today, tomorrow cannot be enough.

Sometimes our process is deeper than we imagine, but it is also preparing us for something bigger. Behind every story, there is a flexible, not rigid mind that dared to open up and a heart that learned to rebuild itself.
