Topic: Growth As Circular

When we are first born we begin to grow in stature. We get taller as we mature and we normally continue our physical growth process until our late teens. When we reach adulthood, we stop growing physically. In our adult years, we can choose to continue to grow in spirit, in mind, and in heart. For most of us, our growth in spirit, mind, and heart is a matter of learning and relearning. We tend to grow in our spirit, mind, and heart by going around in circles. Some people unfortunately never go beyond the dimensions of the circle they created in the beginning. Some people are content to stay where they are, travel the same circular path day after day, and end up in the same place they were in a short time ago. Others, who are motivated to grow and achieve each day, travel in an ever-increasing circle. For those persons who are growth-oriented, their circle of growth gets larger every year. Their circle of growth gets larger, their inner resources inside their circle of growth will increase, and their talents, skills, and abilities increase. Progress or personal growth is not always linear. When we come to a point in our life where we think we have not made any progress or we think we are not making any progress, we must realize we tend to come back around to where we have been before. During our times of doubt about our lack of progress we can actually be farther along and farther out from our starting point in the center of our circle of progress than where we were when we first began.
