Most of us learned as a kid to assume we would automatically grow and improve. That was how it was when we were kids. We didn’t have to actually “do” anything, and we would become taller and stronger, simply by time passing. Often our parents would say things like, “It will be easier when you are older,” or, “Don’t worry that you can’t do that yet, you’ll be able to in a few years.”
Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen now that we are adults. I just turned the big “40” this week, and anything I didn’t work on improving over the past year, I haven’t gotten any better at. However, the things I worked hard at improving, I have made incredible strides in.
As adults, we really need to be INTENTIONAL with our growth, and work to make ourselves better. Growth doesn’t happen by accident.
What do you need to be more intentional about growing within you? What are you willing to do to become better?
Side Note: Yes, I did turn 40 today!
