Grow grow your boat gently down the stream…
Grow for it
oh… just grow up
Grow boy
 
 
part 1 to Three stages of growth. 
 
Growth has the potential to be unlimited. We tend to limit the abilities of ourselves when it comes to growth!
 
What are some of the lies we tell ourselves? 
  - I am not smart at math
   - I can’t learn a foreign language
   - Im not a people person
  - Im not good at sales
 
What are we saying? 
I can’t grow in those areas…
Look, I am not a sprinter - do not have the body for sprinting… to old to sprint, no need to sprint, I have allergies and asthma - but I can still improve my sprinting from what it is to what it could be- because I have never sprinted.
 
You may not have a definitive talent in an area- that is great news! It means you have a capacity to continue to learn something new. 
 
Another lie we tell ourselves. If I am not naturally talented at something then why bother trying to learn in that field.
Why do you bench press and squat and deadlift for football? 
The discipline is worth learning. 
 
Growth is unlimited… why?
Because we have unlimited resources to learn from…
YOUTUBE?
 
Growth is unlimited because we have unlimited areas to learn from.
I can learn spanish, biology, stamp collecting, cake decorating…. it is endless. 
 
Growth is unlimited because we can grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, socially etc… 
 
Growth is not just mental assimilation of facts. 
 
Growth is unlimited because we live in a time where you can connect and learn from multitudes of people around the world. You can now be mentored by frauline gertrude in flower making from germany…. 
 
What does Ephesians 5:16 say… making the most of every opportunity. 
Not just spiritual opportunities, but EVERY opportunity. 
And the key to that verse is that Gods spirit is in us helping us to do just that. 
 
Finally, growth is unlimited because we serve the author and creator of all knowledge.
