Is it time to value growth???


Here's a hypothetical for you...

What would happen if we realize and understood that in order to be happy, we made a conscious decision to value growth?

It would require us to change our mindset and see life as a giant experiment in learning, and no matter what befalls us, we would have to ask ourselves what kind of growth is being called for.

It seems to me that if we were to value emotional and spiritual growth, life's ups and downs have would have more meaning; instead of bemoaning our fate, we could use every opportunity to become more of who we were meant to be.

For you, that might mean becoming more assertive; for me, trusting more. But for both of us, whatever hardship we're facing can become an occasion for growth.

Can you look at your life and see if you are being called on to stretch beyond your current limits? And more importantly can you see the challenge as a chance for growth?

Til next time....
