The goodness that we come to know is that we can stay on our journey for as long as we want. We can choose how we want to use our time and we can integrate all that we do into the essence of what the journey is to become. The core theme underlying all that we do is improvement and growth and it is up to us to make sure that we do indeed grow. When we put hard challenges in front of ourselves, we ignite the growth engine as getting better comes from stress and resistance and our response to them. The growth plan is then an acknowledgment of how we turn “stretching” into the fuel that makes us better. It is not that complicated, rather it is by understanding the essence of how we grow that opens up the possibilities. Once we do this we are set to grow as much as we are willing to put into it. Here’s to having a growth plan and getting better because of it.
