"to struggle is to progress" -anize.org/taus

to properly cite: "if there is no struggle, there is no progress." -frederick douglass

The struggle is the blessing, progressing, changing, from a seed to a tree, from a child to a man (woman), to a God fulfilling his plan...Nia. Purpose. No words to describe the unnameable.

Something I wrote in my journal not too long ago:

"I wonder if that fateful grip of destiny has once again taken a hold of me. We live our whole lives and if not with a purpose - then we're never really living. So, we find purpose in things, but sometimes it seems like life has a purpose of its own - something to teach you, or share with you; something to help you on your journey of self-actualization, self-realization. I think, right now, I'm being shown how to let go of the past - or overcome the set-backs. It's not enough to recognize you've been set-back, the real awareness comes from springing forward - from perseverence. I've got to believe that."
