A basket of development.

What is life… without development? A series of non-valued occurrences that have all the taste of wet cardboard.

For a significant amount of time, in my life, I’ve looked at the need for development to occur from each and every experience that I have in life. Whether it’s as insignificant as eating a type of JELLY (on my shooooes) that you don’t like or as significant as being fired from your job … there’s development to be had, that will aid you in the future…. You don’t eat that jelly on your toast, you don’t do the things that led to your dismissal.

See what I mean? Nothing remarkable to wrap your head around.

An experience can affect you on either side of the positive / negative spectrum, and anywhere in-between. From the tingling sensation that courses through your veins, wrapping itself around your spine… blossoming flowers of joy throughout you to those of the vile nature that you’d rather have an internal organ crudely removed, than deal with.

If you will, picture each and every experience that you have … as a piece of fruit. An edible, tangible good, complete with seeds. Whether it's sweet and succulent or horned and taste of non-bathed taint… you eat it down, eat it to receive the seeds. As the seeds, they bear the essence of the experience, the knowledge, the component that leads development.

With the seeds of the experience in hand, it is time to plant, it is time to develop. You plant the seeds of each and every experience in what I refer to as your “field of knowledge,” an expansive landscape that stretches beyond your eye, to infinity. The planted seeds sprout their roots, growing into plants of knowledge … their size depending on your assignment of significance. Most plants are small and offer little progress… but when combined with other small, blades of development … they become a meadow of awareness, helping you develop for life’s next experience(s).

Just some food for thought.
