The Wizard, the Curtain & Why You Should Go Have an Adventure

Let's get the points of this The Wizard of Oz talk out right away so you can focus on the journey: No one knows everything; there is always a man behind the curtain pretending he does; you already have what you need; no one is coming to save you; find some good friends and have an adventure.

Forever Young and Peter Pan

Stretching across time, space, and cultural and religious systems, the obsession with youth is nothing new. It has maybe just been amplified through a loudspeaker of our visually based society, as media permeate our daily lives. But, there is nothing noble in staying forever young. There is beauty in allowing life to happen and take you on its own real adventures, and Peter Pan is a warning tale of refusing to do so.

Back to the Bottom of the Bucket: Personal Development & Social Backlash

True personal development is an inner tectonic shift that involves expanding the self in ways that are good for you (and preferably for the bigger picture of your life constellations). We'll all have to spend the rest of our lives with ourselves, and stale stagnation is very detrimental. Learning and growth did not finish on the day of our last exam. This was when it was supposed to start practically navigating life rather than multiple-choice question sheets.

Saying "No" Will Keep You Alive

You don't have forever to assert yourself and set boundaries around the life you'd like to live. Until you learn to say no, you will feel like an incomplete self, a semi-person, and an imposter in your skin who's finding it hard to truly, deeply respect yourself. Learning to respectfully say no will save your mental health and life, literally. The harder the lesson seems, the more you need it.
