Hello All!
Welcome to my community discussion page!!! I am excited to start an online dialogue with you in order to help you to better master the "Human Condition". As many of you know, I often talk about our conscious evolution in the midst of growing and evolving beyond our human challenges in life. It is in balancing our "humanness" with the gifts presented to us by the events we experience that help us to create the most meaning--- and fulfillment as we travel through this thing we call life. Our most difficult times in life also bring the most growth and evolution.... if we let them. As a psychologist, I am honored by witnessing growth in others on a daily basis. Luckily, modern technology allows me to continue witnessing this growth through community discussions such as this!
I have no particular "plan" for this blog other than to follow the natural path of the discussion. However, as someone who loves quotes, pictures, and meaningful stories, you will often find posted a variety of thought-provoking items. And I am all about sharing whatever I can to help others to grow. Because we are all in this "life" thing together, I look forward to sharing what I can, as well as learning from all of you as well. As Margaret Fuller said "If you have knowledge, let others light their candles on it." I invite you to share your own light with me!
So, to get this discussion started I would like to share a favorite quote by Anais Nin:
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
I would love to hear about what challenges have produced the most "blossoming" in you.
In shared light,
Katherine K.
Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteFor me when you talk about the Human condition, it brings me to our choice of living in our Humanity or allowing our ego to run our life. The psychological definition of ego is probably different from mine. For me ego is simply that part of us that wants power, and does not care who or how many it hurts to get it. I believe many of the problems in the world can be traced back to ego (pursuit of power). I believe our Humanity is the path to peace and a better world.
