GROWTH: THROUGH DISCOMFORT
In life I've certainly learnt that nothing would ever remain the same, if it's not iron, even iron rust.
It's either it's degrading or it's growing, one of the two. And humans aren't aliens to this either. Humans grow, from the little kid they were born to teenagers, youths then grown-ups and finally old age. Growth varies in life but it's constant. It helps to keep the society running. Everyone needs to Grow in life, no one wants to be stagnant. But that being said, Growth is most times never easy, and mostly one has to grow through discomfort. The phases involved in growing are energy exhausting, time and resources consuming. Growth in life mostly comes through discomfort.
Moving from one phase of life to another can he very challenging, let's consider the kid that's has to move to an upper grade for example, he's not just going to get promoted,he has to sit down and read for the exam that's going to earn him the right to get promoted, only if he performs well and beats the standard set, in order for him to get promoted.
Let's sight for example a popular story, the story of popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7), he was born on the streets and consistently grew from playing ball on the streets to playing at an international and club level. He constantly grew through dedication, commitment, persistence, discipline and hardwork. With that he consistently grew his craft everyday. And we can see that he has consistently grown from what he used to be to being a top notch footballer in the world. He accepted growth.
Growth can be said as progressive development. Growth can also refer to the process of developing, maturing and expanding in life. Growth can also refer to the process of increasing in size as in the growth of a business or economy. Growth is also getting better daily, and improving and not being stagnant.
Growth has a lot of different meanings to each and everyone one of us.
There are different types of Growth
Personal Growth
Emotional Growth
Physical Growth
Intellectual Growth
Social Growth
Financial Growth
Professional Growth
Spiritual Growth.
There are a lot more types of Growth, as long as one is progressive and developing, getting better growth is taking place.
Certainly, as much as discomfort is a critical characteristic, Growth can certainly take place without discomfort, But it's rare to come by, growth taking place without discomfort. .
Discomfort is a mandatory phase, if one is to grow in life. One doesn't grow in his comfort. Going through discomfort help to make one stronger and ready for the next phase In Growth. It helps to make one ready for the next step ahead. It toughens one up. Creating Businesses requires one to go through processes, then after starting the business one can't remain the same throughout, one has to grow, the business has to grow. This also applies to us personally as humans, we can't remain the same if we aim to be successful in life we constantly have to grow, and pass through the discomforting phases of life.
Fear of failure
Fear of rejection
Doubts and uncertainty about the future.
Sense of Vulnerability.
Pressure of life.
Fear of falling out in life.
These are some of the phases we encounter, while growing in life. We all have to go through these phases in order for us to grow, improve and develop in our life's. Growth is a necessity in life.
