“I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really... get busy living or get busy dying."
- Andy Dufresne (played by Tim Robbins) in The Shawshank Redemption
As living creatures, we are all works in progress because that is our human design, like on a Darwin kind of level. Meaning we’re all faced with the evolutionary tale of adapt or die. Thankfully, so far, our species has opted for survival.
When we say that the healing journey is a lifelong journey (not an accomplishment to be checked off or a singular milestone to be celebrated), we acknowledge that some will be discouraged from even starting. But what we want to present is a shift in perspective: from a never ending daunting haul to the privilege of choice. This is only granted to those who are 1) alive and 2) willing to do hard things because deep down, they know they deserve it.
The reason this is a long-term commitment is because we believe the path toward self healing and growth is all about self discovery. And since we’ve chosen to evolve and adapt instead of going extinct, change is the survival strategy. Therefore, there will always be more to discover about ourselves.
So, if you are one to correlate the need for change with being flawed, then you will stay imprisoned and stuck in your own life. However, if you are able to shift your mindset and see change as the human progression of evolution, then we are here to help set you free. Because even if you accept constant change as a fact of life, it doesn’t make it any easier. That’s where ming+ming comes in.
With clear-cut steps that build off one another, curated classes to strength the skills you’ll need to face difficult challenges and persevere, surrounding yourself with a community of individuals committed to the same growth, AND access to reliable tool recommendations based on your unique needs, you will be able to manage these changes with more ease, confidence and enjoyment!
So take it from Andy Dufresne: “Get busy living or get busy dying.” We've chosen living and we think you should too.
With love,
