Hey. A new guy here !

Hi! I'm brand new to this group so here is a brief introduction to who I am and my journey to get here. My name is Chloe, I'm 16 years old and I currently live in the UK. I'm a student going into my last 2 years of high school before hopefully going to university. I began my journey with God when I was 12 and while there were some rough times and definitely some lukewarm one I am very grateful to say that God has brought me through and I'm continuing to develop my relationship with Him. I think I first discovered self improvement around the same time as I discovered God, when I was around 13 maybe, and at first I did what all naive kids do: followed every drop of advice I could find on the internet. I had some pretty bad body image at the time so I focused on exercise and trying to lose weight which was a strange cycle of hating myself, trying, failing, hating myself again, etc and I think it stopped when I was around 14 or 15 at which point I leaned more into productivity but, again, in quite a toxic way that led to a lot of burnout and self hatred. Fast forward to now and a lot has changed. I've realised I'm neurodivergent, autistic, and I'm learning to work with my brain and not against it and generally I'm in a place where I don't really consider myself practicing self improvement anymore, I just see myself as someone trying to grow as best they can. I still do breathwork, journal, exercise, try to be productive and, of course, spend a lot of time with God but I'm gentler on myself, my goals and systems align with who I am and I am a lot happier than I can ever remember being. I'm very excited to be part of this community to hopefully make a positive impact in how self improvement is viewed and executed. We aim to grow because we love God and want to be as close to Him as possible. We aim to grow because we want to take care of our temples. We aim to grow because we're learning to love ourselves as Christ loves us which means gentle correction from the behaviours that harm us.

My name is Chris. I'm from New Jersey and my parents are from Dominican Republic. I'm an old soul 24 year old. I enjoy superhero movies, anime, and watching boxing! I'm a man of God who clearly loves self development. I love connecting with ambitious people and I live to help those who are receptive to help. I'm looking forward to having my own family in the future and being a leader God can be proud of. I'm a multi passionate person who loves diving into these different self improvement areas. I have fun reading these different books, watching different videos, jumping into different conversation threads like Reddit, buying different courses/mentorships, experimenting through trial and errors, etc. That allows me to make this product/community the best quality possible for as many generations as the internet is around. I see this as a digital asset that hopefully touches the lives of billions. The reason I created "Growth Oasis" (a self improvement community) is because I remember being a lost kid who had to figure out adulthood on his own. I was hoping to run into a mentor or a course that would help me in the different areas I was struggling in. That never happened. So that's why I'm building what I wish had existed back then, which is a community filled with ambitious good hearted people who empower each other + non-misleading education on how to thrive in life. Remember - be the change you want to see in the world. The reason they say it takes a village to raise a child is because community is a necessity for us humans to thrive. We were created to connect with one another on a deeper level. To have each others backs on our worst days and to plug in each others holes. Team stands for "together everyone achieves more". And the lone wolf never survives. So it's time to get together and work through life together. Why does Growth Oasis exist? Because there's not many mentors out in the neighborhoods (like how it used to be back before the cell phone/social media boom) giving people the wisdom and resources they need to win in life. And there's not many present parents in households nowadays because they're addicted to worldly distractions. So people turn to the internet. And the internet is over run by broken people who make detrimental false content. The way I see it - empty cans make the most noise. And just because they talk with conviction and they have a lot of followers doesn't mean they are speaking the truth.
