What does it take to grow? You can expect at least six answers to that question.
Here is the quick list. The podcast goes into more detail of course!
1. Expect to develop a desire for growth, not just a wish. You’ve got to want it or you won’t get it. You won’t even see the need for it.
2. Expect to learn some new skills. The skills you used got you to the place you are now. If you want to move beyond that place, you must use different skills to make it there.
3. Expect to refine some mindsets and attitudes. Mindset is your general thought direction toward life in general. Attitude is your mindset toward a specific situation, person, or event. You can fake an attitude, but your mindset will spill over eventually.
4. Expect to do something you have not done in the past or have not done very often (or well)
5. Expect to feel uncomfortable, scared, lonely, etc. That’s part of the process and that is why people typically do not grow.
6. Expect to think differently about yourself and your surroundings, even the people in those surroundings. Let it be guided by the Word and you will be fine.
