growth

Growth can mean many different things to different people, and based upon that, the way to achieve your growth goals would vary. For me, I define growth as one's way of improving themselves both physically and intellectually for the positive effects his/her lives and those around them. I believe that it is just as important to grow physically as it is intellectually because they both directly affect each other. For instance you can grow mentally but not have to physical strength to act upon it and likewise, you can grow physically but not understand how to use it In the correct manner. 
From there, many people would ask, "How do I grow?" We'll, the answer varies because everybody has different needs. With that being said, my growth strategies will be very different compared to the person to my right; even though we are headed in the same direction. The bottom line is that there is no pathway to success meaning that it will not be easy. In my opinion that is why very few people  grow, either because they're comfortable with where there at or they just don't want to out the work in. But the good news is that since everybody is different, there are infinite ways to grow, the big thing is to find a starting point and create a goal or vision as to where you want to be. Your goal should be distant yet attainable with a time frame to complete it in.  A great example of this would be weightlifting. The athlete would need the mental capacity to plan out his growth schedule and goals and be able to come up with the appropriate workout plan. Then obviously he would need the physical growth to achieve his bodybuilding dreams. Seems simple looking at it on paper but as we all know It takes a great amount of effort. In my opinion everybody should want to grow because nothing but positive things will happen and who knows where the journey will take you. It goes along with the principle that life is an adventure, anything can happen it just all depends on what you make of it.

  1. Good sense of growth. Hopefully you can use the weightlifting example and transfer it to other areas of life.
