In life, we can seem like a very infinitesimal and insignificant creature in an infinite universe. For one to know their inherent potential for growth, and transformation is quite often stumbled upon after one has undergone many unforeseen trials.

We are always being watched by who knows who, or what. In life's social game there exists many other competing egos desirous of advancement and who are willing to do whatever is necessary to further their agendas.

It's not personal, though. Learning to adapt and overcome one's environment and circumstances is not always easy. However, it is a skill anyone can attain once they learn to alchemize their pain, and convert it into the creative energy that propels them above and beyond previous ideas they may have held about any self-defeating limitations.
