How Writers Evolve is a wicked article on Men With Pens.
It's by Vangile Makwakwa, a writer and spoken word poet, who digs deep
into the need to grow and evolve personally.
We aren’t scared of change itself. We’re scared of the consequences that
change brings, she states. And it does ring true to me. Change is a given,
often a welcomed on, as it might as well be, since time ruins regrets for all of us.
Or as Keith puts it: No regrets. No. What goes down, goes down,
and it's how you deal with it that counts.
And still I sometimes struggle with the concept of the ever changing life.
I get afraid of facing the consequences of my changing, of growing in a new or
different direction, fearing that if I leave "old" truths behind, it erases the meaning
it once had to me.
Not true, but that's how change can feel to even the most easy going of us.
Ergo I'll give Vangile's words some more thought and reflect on her 3 tips:
1: Reconnect with your personal mission
2: Acquire new knowledge and techniques
3: Build a tribe of like-minded people
