Growth Hurts

Growth can be defined as the process of developing or maturing physically, mentally, or spiritually.  In most cases, true growth, is a turbulent and violent experience that magnifies tolerability and control or the lack thereof.  As traumatic, malignant,  and scary as this process is, endurance warrants a transformational, reconstructive, and more powerful net you.  Whether it’s personal, professional, or spiritual, no one is immune to this pivotal opportunity to flourish or flounder.  We often see growth as an isolated transaction rather than a cyclical lifestyle.  In order for us to continuously benefit from these inevitable circumstances, we have to acknowledge and envelop the lessons while applying them in LIFE.

Growth is often disguised as adversity, woe, or even failure.  As diverse as growth can be, there is a universal axis on which it spins; Change.  The willingness to see, think about, and do things differently is the single, most critical dynamic that catalyzes the evolution of a new you.  Be it personally, professionally, or spiritually, it is extremely difficult to move away from the comfort of familiarity.  Whether it is a new diet, leader, or spiritual regimen, we tend to obliviously rely on routine.  Change is especially arduous because of its compulsory call for us to lose control; to let go of all that we know and are secure with to develop and progress.  There is a methodical metamorphosis that has to take place under the most conscious conditions.  In order for this expansion to occur, we understand and embrace its purpose while sustaining its suffering.

I firmly believe that we all want to be better at whatever it is that we decide to do.  If this is the case, growth is a celestial certainty.  As Julia Roberts had to learn in Eat, Pray, Love; “In order to get to the castle, you are going to have to swim the moat”.  True growth is a violent and turbulent process worthy of its intoxicating outcome.  The requisite change is a chance; our chance to make ‘The Turn’.  Whether it’s personally, professionally, or spiritually, we want to exhibit a rudimentary posture where we perform because of who we are, not what we have been told to do.  Be sure to identify your objective, exercise the willingness to change, and endure the gap of where you are and where you want to be.  Great Selling!
