Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. I have written before about my coming to realize that growing-up, or maturing, is a lifelong process. Whether we are at the beginning of our teen years or, in our twenties or thirties and beyond, there is an on-going process of realization that perhaps we may have behaved in an inappropriate manner at one point or another in the past. This realization is key to the maturing process. Making amends and admitting those regressions to the people they have affected is paramount to growing-up and making appropriate adjustments. The thoughts, words and actions we choose in this process will directly steer us toward being the value-driven kind of person for which the Super-Star acronym stands and, realizing the sought-after goals we set for ourselves.
When I was a teenager, I thought I knew everything and, of course, that my parents did not. It dawned on me in my early twenties that perhaps I was mistaken in those teenage beliefs, for which I readily apologized to my parents, and made amends for my actions as a teenager. It is now that I realize my parents had already been teenagers themselves and that they knew much more than I gave them credit for and, that each generation goes through the same rites of passage as they grow into young adults. I have found that the notion that we are "All grown-up" because we have reached our twenties is continually challenged as I get older. When we finally realize maturing is a lifelong process, we are able to forgive ourselves, and others, for perceived mistakes in order to move on in this life without guilt; it is very important to recognize our mistakes and make amends along life's journey.
Learning the truth about how our own thoughts, words and actions really do affect ourselves, and each other, is an enlightening and powerful experience. The fact that we are all on the same journey we call "Life," gives us the opportunity to acknowledge how similar we are and, in that spirit of togetherness, that we are all at various levels of maturity; which is not necessarily determined by chronological age, but rather by each person's experiences and their willingness to discover and grow with the lessons of "Life." Remember to be kind when you recognize that someone is on a learning curve and needs space and time to mature...in their own way...at their own pace...just as you need the same. Living a Super-Star life is a good place to start...the Universe will gratefully accept all positive choices!
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
In love & light and, with much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
