Grow, we must! But when we grow in expectation of enjoying its fruits, we live on hopes for tomorrow, forever losing out on today. But when we grow for the sake of proving it to someone, we nurture hostility and apathy. But when we grow because the world calls its end result 'success', we sabotage our innate calling as we condescend to a random passerby's definition of success. May we grow, not with an intent for 'growing', not for the sake of 'growing'. May we grow, because growth 'happened' as a sheer consequence of us doing what we loved - Maybe a plant never knew it would produce a fruit one day, but the fruit 'happened' because the plant simply did its own thing. This would make every moment of our lives rewarding - we don't have to chase that one imaginary final-moment to feel rewarded. That final-moment is seated warmly in the womb of future - Can we let the future just be and mind our business!? Maybe for just once!
