Welcome to the season of growth!

I want you to be growth conscious rather than goal conscious this season. Goals help you focus on the destination, while growth keeps you focused on the process. It also brings motivation to do the smaller and easier things that can be achieved today. This avoids you having to do the harder work of “doing things that you didn't do when you should've done them”!

Growth seems to stimulate more growth. Because it usually involves discipline, when discipline enters a corner of your life it usually spreads contagiously across all domains and leaves its positive impact on everything. It’s just a matter of starting - entering the season of growth. Sometimes you need a coach to get you kick-started. An outsider will have an unemotional view of what you need to do and, hopefully, isn’t afraid to say it. This can be a most worthwhile investment in yourself and your future. Are you teachable? Encourage yourself to be open and receptive to the points of view of others. Wisdom comes in the counsel of many advisors.
