Abstraction

Abstraction in its main sense is a conceptual process wherein general rules and concepts are derived from the usage and classification of specific examples, literal ("real" or "concrete") signifiers, first principles, or other methods. "An abstraction" is the outcome of this process—a concept that acts as a common noun for all subordinate concepts and connects any related concepts as a group, field, or category.Conceptual abstractions may be formed by filtering the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, selecting only those aspects which are relevant for a particular purpose.

I spend a lot of time looking at nature, and one of the things that I really love is watching how trees grow
Observing how they are aware enough of their surroundings to stretch their limbs out in the proper direction to get the most sunlight
How they can be adaptable and move, however slowly, toward their goals

And I think it's so inspiring to see that movement toward where you want to be and what you want to become
I think that it's important to become like a tree, to become aware of your surroundings and be cognizant of where you plan on going because there will always be obstructions on your journey

And you need to be aware of those obstructions
Not necessarily to overcome them but to have ways around them because it's not about conquering all your issues, it's about navigating your way so you can collect the most energy so you can be the best person, the best version of you
It's about finding a way to become that person you desire to be

To become like a tree in another sense also means to move slowly, but incredibly deliberately
To know where you're going, but also be open to the idea of changing that direction if another option comes along
To be aware of what you're doing at all times and being mindful of your progress and your goals

So, next time you look at a tree, observe how it grew
Notice how it focuses its leaves on the side with more sun, how it extends its branches out to pierce the shade and the shadow and collect light from places that might otherwise be wasted, or used by a different plant

Being aware of your surroundings in the creative space is equally important as being aware of your surroundings in the physical space
Understanding your limitations and having a plan to productively move with them and beyond them is so valuable
