About Growth …
I always believed that growth as a person, a leader, or a professional, meant that I needed to be learning something new.
It meant that I was pushing, stretching or moving out of my comfort zone in order to expand my knowledge, my thoughts, or my skills so that I could be better.
But personal or professional growth is not always about pushing or pulling at all.
Sometimes Growth is About …
- Unlearning … and sitting in the midst of the uncomfortableness and being okay with whatever is unfolding.
- Letting go … of old ideas and beliefs that keep me stuck in a place of unhappiness.
- Relinquishing control … or the illusion that I can control a situation, another person, or anything other than myself.
In my desire to grow at times I have confused knowledge with wisdom, possession with love, and giving up with letting go.
What I am learning about growth is that …
- I am not responsible for the world, I am only responsible for my own thoughts, emotions, and actions …
- We each have our own path to follow and one path is not better or worse than another … it’s just a different path.
- Happiness comes from knowing deep down in my heart and soul what makes me truly happy …
My wish is that you can let go of what needs to be let go of … so that you can find your path … to whatever makes you happy!
