Last night, I chose to write about a twist on the baby-led wonder weeks, a learning module/app that provides insight into a new born babies emotional and physical growth stages. As I was writing about wonder weeks and how I believe they are actually a concept that is very much intertwined and prevalent, to an extent, throughout all of our lives. At various intersections and crossroads, we are faced with an assortment of challenges, emotional distresses, relief, as well as various other fluctuations in life itself. One compounding element that came to mind was a concept of progressive recycling.

Progressive recycling, to me, is a process in which we continually seek, learn, grow, and retract. During the retraction period, our understanding of the first three stages of the process is tested, and if the universe deems us competent, we level up. We then repeat the process and recycle the learnings from a new level of understanding.

Being the best in anything would never truly be a valuable commodity if it was sought, learned, and achieved with ease. It is within the growth period in which we struggle, in which we are truly tested, that we create value. It is within the understanding of the difficulty and the process of seeking knowledge, learning the trade, growing and developing within its realm, and then succeeding in the challenging testing phase that we develop the perception of its value and appreciation for the devotion, dedication, and unwavering pursuit of traversing these tedious passages of challenge and time.

We will continuously follow a pattern of seeking knowledge, learning, growing, and then retracting or reflecting on the passage while being tested on our true understanding of said experience. Recycling through this process and finding a new ledge to stand on at each juncture allows us to progress and then fall back to a stronger position, allowing us to progressively recycle our knowledge upwards until we are able to reach the objective destination. I believe that progressive recycling is a strong contributing factor in the search for happiness.

Thanks,
