“Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.” Napoleon Hill

Motivation Mondays: GROWTH - All life forms

Motivation Mondays: GROWTH – All life forms

Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean giving up familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, and relationships that have lost their meaning. John C. Maxwell

What does growth mean to you? Everything in life goes through a period of growth and ebb/flow. Every form of plant, mammal, animal and other life forms go through a progression of changes as they grow; to reach maturity takes effort, challenges and even failures. From the time a baby is conceived in his mother’s womb, the battle for survival begins. When we are born, we take our first gasp of air and let out a scream because we have entered unfamiliar territory. It takes a while to adjust to our new environment and, like other lifeforms depicted above, we need guidance and help from our mothers or from others that have been through the process. Our security and survival isn’t always assured but our growth demands a temporary surrender of security. The process doesn’t always work; there are times of failure but to keep growing, we must keep performing actions that support our survival.

Why focus on growth? The point here is that growth is lifelong and occurs in stages that are not always linear. Each day, we get up with hope and anticipation for what the day will bring. We perform our routines to get us going and, if all the chips fall into place, we leave our homes and head into the world to interact with other people who are also going through their version of growth. Monday is a particularly anticipatory day because it starts the school and work week for millions of people around the world. The process of rebirth and renewal is still the same. We go through continuous effort and struggle to reach each goal we set for ourselves and once accomplished, we start the process all over again to accomplish/complete other goals. When we fail to complete a task or a goal, we revert to our original steps and retrace them. All of these actions add to our body of knowledge, our experiences, and our confidence level. If something doesn’t work out, instead of abandoning hope, try a different approach, change directions and try something else or new and stay open to that form of growth.

“The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.” Lao Tzu

Motivation Mondays: GROWTH - Blackbird stages of growth

Motivation Mondays: GROWTH – Blackbird stages of growth

Growth: Development of a nestling of five blackbirds by Romate.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die. Plato

What comes to mind when you look at the blackbirds in the collage above? If nothing else, I hope it reminds you that the cliche – growing pains – has validity for all of life. From the time the blackbirds peck through their egg shells and begin to grow, there are countless opportunities for failure and danger. Because they are unable to fly from the nest, they remain dependent on their mother to fly around and find warms and other food to feed them daily. The baby blackbirds must also fight for space in the nest and learn to cooperate with each other. If a predator finds the nest, they won’t be able to fight it off and so their situation will remain tenuous until they are strong and bold enough to take that first flight to freedom. Even after they learn to fly, other challenges await them because the natural progression of life and growth includes struggle, danger and failure.

What about human growth? The same explanation, as above, can be said of human growth. Growing pains are part of our life experiences and they happen to all of us. We must first learn to walk before we can run and fly the proverbial coop. If we miss a few steps along the way, we find that gaps will appear in our learning curve, and we must go back and repeat the process till we truly imbibe the lessons deep inside of our being. Of course, we don’t walk around every day thinking about the gaps, misses, and failures in our lives because they are part of our natural progression through life; they fit seamlessly into the daily travails of living in the world. When we fail at a task, instead of beating ourselves up, we should contemplate what lessons are being taught and how we can improve our lot. Some people don’t take leaps of faith because they are afraid to fail or think failure will make them less valuable in the eyes of XYZ. On the contrary, it takes great courage and strength of character to stay true to who we are and to face our successes and failures with the same degree of introspection and gratitude. Where are you in your growth?

Motivation Mondays: GROWTH - Butterfly stages of growth

Motivation Mondays: GROWTH – Butterfly stages of growth

Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential. Bruce Lee

What areas of your life need more growth?  We all know people who are stuck in a rot. We know folks who seem to no longer grow because they have allowed fear, limited thinking and negativity to get in the way of their growth. Sitting on our laurels is the road to stagnation. We must always be testing the limits of our skills and strength, and find ways to broaden our minds and world view. If we keep doing the same thing day in and day out, we will soon become like a factory machine that produces the same stuff over and over again.

What are you doing about it? Push yourself a little. Fail at something. Try a new way of viewing your work and see how much more you will open the door to new experiences and growth. A life spent playing it safe is a limited life and growth doesn’t dwell there. Now go do something new and different today. It can be something small or even learning a new skill or trying your hand at a new approach to old tasks… nothing dangerous, just different.

    Failures and mishaps do seem part of the natural progression, and thank goodness. Could you imagine if the stuck out so much we dwelled on them? oy! You’re right though, if you don’t learn the lesson, there’s a gap that has to be filled. Best to learn it the first time so you can keep growing more, faster (easier said than done, I know). :)) Love those butterfly pics!

    There is no growth without struggle, which is always a tough concept for me because struggle is tough, so it’s always wise to remember that when you’re struggling, you’re growing. You have no other choice.

I got my scheduled tied up at work. I’m actually trying to explain but they brush me off. I gave no judgment to what they said but I was hurt. I tried explaining my situation to them but they won’t talk to me.

    Strength and growth are two things that a person should want. For the areas in our lives that need growth, we need to not want to be stuck in the same place. Growth happens when we step out of our comfort zone and when we decide that we want to move from Point A to Point B. And, that’s when strength comes in. Once you have decided that you want growth, one must have the strength and the courage to make this growth happen.

    There are also so many aspect we can measure growth from physical, intellectual, emotional, etc. We get to be better when we grow as a whole and not just on one aspect.

      That is so true.. Growth is a process that occurs over time and includes all of our being and our experiences. 🙂

    I think growth comes when we keep an open mind to learning and experiencing new things, always have a positive mindset when it comes to bad experiences too. Learning is a neverending process even after we graduate from school, that’s how we all grow.

    Yes. We change to grow. We must grow. I hope though that while other grow they would still realize and remember the simple things that made them happy and things that really matters.

    I believe that everyone needs to be out of their comfort zone in order to grow.

    Motivation is something that is constantly needed. Growth occurs always. We just have to embrace the changes we go through.

    As with change, growth should also be constant in our lives. To do so, I always read, try to explore new things, and keep an open mind to different topics.

    Physical growth is just one mark but what i think is that most importantly the growth of a human as in person matters most , his contribution towards society matter most apart from spiritual growth which is for self.

    Growth is not just experienced physically. For me, Growth is also experienced mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
