Grateful For Growth I wouldn’t have stuck around if I remained the same. I said this to myself during a morning meditation time. Think about who you were 20 years ago. Hopefully your image isn’t as bad as mine. I was a charismatic communicator, who knew the answer to the questions you never asked, sarcastic asshole who laced the message of motivation with alliteration that made you say if he’d become humble and coachable he could be phenomenal. I told you the image in my mind wasn’t the best one. But as I said I’m grateful for my growth spurt. The day I finally saw me, I sought to develop me. I needed a come to Jesus moment. I received a wake up call that great beats good every day of the week. Good guy Good salesmen Good Christian Good dad Good husband Good speaker Good life Someone reading is saying I’d take that life right there. You didn’t list one bad thing. The bad thing is a great life was being blocked because I was ok with being ok at good. Good didn’t require much change. Good was comfortable. Good was neutral. It allowed me to be liked but not truly respected. It allowed me to be applauded, but not truly appreciated. It allowed me to be picked, but not truly paid. It allowed me to appear successful, but not truly fulfilled. You still me - remember I’m talking about me. My good life. We often move so fast that we don’t check in to price out what it’s really costing us when we stay the same. When we blend instead of brand, when we dim instead of shine. Have you ever had one or two of these thoughts? Mine became reoccurring. I’ve outlined five changes I made that moved me from missing to meaning and from talking to connecting… I’ll drop the link to the doc at 12pm today.
