The question "are you evolving?" has been on my mind for quite some time now, and I've also wondered to myself if there was a way to measure whether or not I was evolving. After all, I can go into a situation, think about something for a long time, and come out with a completely different answer each time I do it. How can this be? If evolution is a real thing, then the way I think and the way I do things changes over time.

Now, I'm not sure that this is what is meant when someone asks me the question "are you evolving?". I think what they mean is that you might change over time, but I don't think it means you're evolving in any sense. If I were to use a clock, I might think the earth was moving a little faster and the next minute it might be moving a little slower, and so forth. However, I can't tell you whether or not I'm evolving from a point A to a point B over time.

I think the real question to ask here is this: have you changed in response to what you've been told, or in response to your own experience, or in response to what others have said? When I ask people the question, "are you evolving?" I don't really expect an answer. I just want to see how you are evolving, and where you might be going. So, if you answer this question by saying, "I don't think so," I would assume that you haven't. You might, though.

Sometimes, I'll find myself thinking about my own actions over time. I'll sort of document my thoughts, my intentions, and my decisions. Then I'll look at the documented evidence of these actions to see whether or not I was evolving. If I'm not evolving, I'll document again, and I'll ask myself the same questions again.

Sometimes, I might still be thinking along the same lines, or I might be making the same choices. That's okay. It means that I'm still doing the same thing. And when I say that I'm doing the same thing, what I really mean is that I'm continuing to manifest things based on the information that I already know.

If I am not evolving, then I will know I'm doing the same thing. And if I'm still doing the same thing, then I might still have the same experience, or the same outcome. Those are the two types of evolution that I believe are possible. What do you think? Do you have an answer for the question, "Am I Evolving?"
