GROWTH
The Goal of GROWTH is the challenge of learning to move from pursuing/seeking meaning to creating meaning.

Or put in other words- how to own your place as the creator of your life & transform experiences into meaningful events & relationships that contribute to your evolution.

NEGATIVE SPECTRUM
-Confusion ensues when you're overwhelmed and terrified to choose from too many open-ended choices or directions that force you to confront your responsibility for creating your life. Or it arises when you feel your choices are/have become meaningless+senseless to make- so you flounder & feel confusion, regression and recoil, not liking or uninterested in the options you have to choose from.
So you feel you’ve taken on more than you can process in life- having left or ignored an ever-growing pile of overwhelmingly meaningless or overly meaningful experiences to sort through.
---
Confusion is always prompted by an inner-sense that you need to ESCAPE from the responsibility of making choices you don't want to make, escape towards choices you do want to make, or feel that your choices are eluding you so you're confused about what to even DO. 
This then shifts toward an external RESISTANCE to growing up where you feel stalled- resisting anything you don't want, while waiting out for some meaning or opportunity you do desire to be presented to you, because your sense of success, satisfaction & aspiration in what you are doing is failing.
In both extremes, you reject the consequences of choice, believing you can't be held accountable for your choices because you're confused, and hiding or waiting until other people/circumstances make your choices for you.

SLIDING
When you fall into -Confusion, you begin to -Withdraw from the world, others and yourself.
To move into +Evolution, it helps to +Simplify matters, reduce your focus/activity and return to your center so that the choices+experiences you have can finally be processed, rather than feel overwhelmingly confusing.

Simplicity is about ALLOWING MEANING.
This is as simple as just focusing down to one or two options, choices or directions to act on, and deciding what feels most relevant, meaningful, helpful- or coming to an understanding about what an experience is helping you to learn, what you're aiming for, what you're drawn to doing etc.

You can also choose actions and experiences that help liberate you from your -Stagnant Momentum of feeling confused, so that you may relax and +Free yourself to do/think/feel in ways that are more meaningful to you.
