ARE YOU GROWING?
If you went to
primary and Junior secondary Schools at the time I did which, was in the early
to middle nineties, you may have come across this acronym MR NIGER D which
stands for Death, Respiration, Excretion, Growth, etc funny right? But I’m
concerned more with the letter G, which is Growth.
We grow everyday
especially physically except you have had a drink from the fabled fountain of
youth (pirates of the Caribbean). If you observe closely you are a little bit
or a whole different from how you where some 20years ago, 10 years ago, last
year and even a month ago. These changes can be referred to as physical growth
and we don’t stop growing till we die
My question is
how many of us have really GROWN! In terms of Spiritually, Mentally, Relationship
wise, and Career wise. If the difference between what you know now and what you
knew a while back or even yesterday, is still the same, then it might be safe
to assume that at the point you are, growth has stopped and that in itself is
dangerous (likened to death).
I could choose
to ramble and school us about growing, but that would be me being
self-righteous. And since I am not, I’ll share this quote from a renowned
leadership and growth teacher John Mason. It reads; To discover your purpose,
you need to grow in self awareness. To become a better human being, you need to
grow in character. To advance in your career you need to grow in your skills.
To be a better spouse or parent, you need to grow in relationships. To reach
your financial goals, you need to grow in knowledge about how money works. To
enrich your soul, you need to grow spiritually.
Now the choice
is yours, to keep GROWING or to ATROPHY (Die slowly) while you still live.
