Unbiased and Unrelated Growth

Been working on this one for about three weeks, I'd love to know what you think.

Can you grow?
                         Can you learn more than you already know?
          Can it be unbiased and unrelated to how you already think?
             Can you apply it without attaching a preconceived link?
 
Is growth an inevitability or is it merely a rare occurrence?
Is growth an external chance based on surroundings and assurance?
Or is it radically going against the very grain of our environment?
What does it take to continuously expand your minds alignment?
 
Can the unwanted seeds of living in another fashion grow fruit,
without a caring hand to water the conscious thoughts and its root?
 
Does age play a factor in the availability of our willingness to learn?
What does it take to break away and even build that concern?
Maybe it’s age plus all the events within our lives,
that creates an ever tightening stream forcing us into closed minds.
 
                                             Can you grow?
                         Can you learn more than you already know?
          Can it be unbiased and unrelated to how you already think?
             Can you apply it without attaching a preconceived link?
 
Maybe you feel it in another form, we’re victimized by circumstance,
knowing very deep within that these were the cards dealt to us by chance.
That there is nothing we can do now but sit back, watch and sulk,
in the lack of opportunity that’s been set before our lives in bulk.
 
So much so are we hypnotized by routine we’ve become convinced,
that we’re looking at the picture exactly as life intendeds.  
Never again asking why we’ve chosen to continue walking down this path.
“Don’t worry about that” you coo yourself, “Because, we’ve done the math”.
 
What is it that makes us so rigid, never again willing to be lenient,
that any other way of life seems far too foreign and inconvenient?  
 
                                                    Can you grow?
                         Can you learn more than you already know?
          Can it be unbiased and unrelated to how you already think?
             Can you apply it without attaching a preconceived link?
 
Can you flood the banks of your habits and your securities,
and wash away the landscape of “truths” you hold currently?
Once an idea has lulled us into a position where satisfied,
is it possible to cast aside the warm covers that gratify,
and expose ourselves to the cold air of different perspectives?
What does it take to become this introspective?
 
I know it might be hard to hold this idea in conscious thought,
to let it linger in your life just outside your minds blind spot.
 
But, if you can do more than speak, further, do more than listen...
If you can try and see through eyes that think and act so different...
That then you’d grow in ways that you previously couldn’t fathom...
To see the bigger picture and work on your compassion.
 
                                                        So,
 
                                             Can you grow?
                         Can you learn more than you already know?
          Can it be unbiased and unrelated to how you already think?
             Can you apply it without attaching a preconceived link?
