Topic:
Growth As Circular
When we are first born we begin to grow in stature. We get taller as
we mature and we normally continue our physical growth process until our
late teens. When we reach adulthood, we stop growing physically. In our
adult years, we can choose to continue to grow in spirit, in mind, and
in heart. For most of us, our growth in spirit, mind, and heart is a
matter of learning and relearning. We tend to grow in our spirit, mind,
and heart by going around in circles. Some people unfortunately never go
beyond the dimensions of the circle they created in the beginning. Some
people are content to stay where they are, travel the same circular path
day after day, and end up in the same place they were in a short time
ago. Others, who are motivated to grow and achieve each day, travel in
an ever-increasing circle. For those persons who are growth-oriented,
their circle of growth gets larger every year. Their circle of growth
gets larger, their inner resources inside their circle of growth (and
inside themselves) increase, and their talents, skills, and abilities
increase. What we must realize is that progress or personal growth is
not always linear. When we come to a point in our life where we think we
have not made any progress or we think we are not making any progress,
we must realize we tend to come back around to where we have been
before. What we must remember during our times of doubt about our lack
of progress is that we can actually be farther along and farther out
from our starting point in the center of our circle of progress than
where we were when we first began.
