Be purposeful about growth and intentionally stretch in every area of life
Stretching leads to growth. Growth is painful but it is the only evidence of life. No matter what you have to face in life, never give up. Get up more times than you get knocked down. To do this, you may need others to walk with you and help you imagine what’s possible through your life. These people are those who refuse to allow you keep your eyes on the challenges. They are people who show you the power of looking up and tapping into possibilities.
When we choose to play it safe, we miss the great opportunities of life.
When we are focused on where we are in life, it becomes difficult for us to see where we could go. We tell ourselves that looking down is practical but we miss the beauty of what’s possible.
We need to learn to see discomfort as a sign of growth. Staying in the comfort zone leads to stagnation. Stagnation is the first step to the grave
“Real growth is often unwanted, extremely painful, and ultimately completely worth it.”
John O’Leary
Stretching fuels growth relationally, professionally, and emotionally. Have the courage to take action and take risks.
