Growth Doesn’t Just Happen – Growth Gap Traps
In the book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth written
by John Maxwell determines, "if you have dreams, goals, or
aspirations, you need to grow to achieve them. But, if
you're like I was - and if you're like most people - you
have one or more mistaken beliefs that create a gap that
keeps you from growing and reaching your potential. Take a
look at the following misconceptions about growth that may
be holding you back from being an intentional as you need to
be.
The Assumption Gap - "I Assume That I Will Automatically
Grow"
When we are children, our bodies grow automatically. A year
goes by, and we become taller, stronger, more capable of
doing new things and facing new challenges. I think many
people carry into adulthood a subconscious belief that
mental, spiritual, and emotional growth follows a similar
pattern. Time goes by, and we simply get better. We're like
Charlie Brown in Charles Schultz's Peanuts comic strip, who
once said, "I think I've discovered the secret of life --
you just hang around until you get used to it." The problem
is that we don't improve by simply living. We have to be
intentional about it.
Musician Bruce Springsteen commented, "A time comes when you
need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and
start being the man you want to be." No one improves by
accident. Personal growth doesn't just happen on its own.
And once you're done with your formal education, you must
take complete ownership of the growth process, because
nobody else will do it for you.
As Michel de Montaigne observed, "No wind favors him who has
no destined port." If you want your life to improve, you
must improve yourself. You must make that a tangible
target."
