Laws of Growth

15 Invaluable Laws of Growth

15 Laws BookI am committed to life-long learning and I hope you are too. Learning and growth does not end when you receive your university degree or obtain a particular position. Learning is crucial and critical to realize our leadership potential. You need to be intentionally engaged to grow in your leadership through continued learning.
 
Potential is a powerful word; it looks forward with optimism and is filled with hope. Potential has its promises and hints at greatness. To reach your potential you must grow. This book seeks to help you along that path--the pathway towards understanding how personal growth works and towards helping you become a more effective individual, parent, leader, and child of God!

Which of these 'Laws that Govern Your Growth' fit you right now?

  • Growth Doesn’t Just Happen
  • You Must Know Yourself To Grow Yourself
  • You Must See Value In Yourself To Add Value To Yourself
  • Learning To Pause Allows Growth To Catch Up With You
  • Motivation Gets You Going – Discipline Keeps You Growing
  • Growth Thrives In Conducive Environments
  • To Maximize Growth, Develop Strategies
  • Good Management of Bad Experiences Leads to Great Growth
  • Character Growth Determines The Height Of Your Personal Growth
  • Growth Stops When You Lose The Tension Between Where You Are And Where You Could Be
  • You Have To Give Up To Grow Up
  • Growth Is Stimulated By Asking Why?
  • It’s Hard To Improve When You Have No One Else But Yourself To Follow
  • Growth Always Increases Your Capacity
  • Growing Yourself Enables You To Grow Others

If you couldn't tell, I underlined and made bold the ones I resonated with the most right now. Character growth is something I have been struggling with personally for a few years. It is a "on and then off again" development for me. I want that to change but I am convinced I cannot do it all by my onesies... so I have been in search of a mentor.

Comment below as to which one you resonated with the most and perhaps we can gain some "insight into ourselves" and the One who made us to grow! To His glory forever and ever, amen!

I Wish We'd All Been ... Left Behind

  Perhaps you have heard the group DC Talk sing the remake of Larry Norman’s’ song, “I Wish We’d All Been Ready”? There is something tragically deceptive about the lyrics though. As we sing along, we find ourselves participating in a couple instances where we wish we had been ready to be taken instead of left behind. But that is not how Jesus tells his side of the story. The words are inspired by Matthew 24:40-41. But let’s look more closely, shall we? MATTHEW 24:37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away . That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. ...

What's in a Seed, Part 2

In part two of this discussion of What is in a seed, I decided to research a little about the  effects of a seed's environment . Here are some things I learned. 1. When a seed grows in an alternate environment and survives, it is said it has  adapted.  How many times have you adapted? Whether we like it or not, adapting is a part of life. Our attitude about it is something we can control. 2. Some seeds planted in harsher environments, and live, can have its DNA restructured to become a hardier plant for that environment in the future. This is simply fascinating! It reminds of what James tells us in those first few verses in his opening chapter about counting it all joy because of those trials and what they produce! 3. The seed within the fruit of a plant gains information from its “mother” about what she experienced in her environment to better suit it for the next generation (this is called maternal environment effects).  Experiences modify the DNA  a...

A Joshua-Veneered Judges

Without challenge there will be no growth. Without expectation there will be no challenge. Why is it that we think if we expect "too much" out of people they will turn away? Didn't Jesus issue commands and ultimatums? Why should His Church not remind His people of these things? I was challenged by a statement from someone in Sunday School that people "like" the way things are going. This "liking-ness" caused me to ponder the "state of the union" and internalize a "declaration of dependence" for the name of Christ. I repeat, Without challenge there will be no growth. Without expectation there will be no challenge. I do not want to bow down to "likingness" as the test for spiritual growth. What I see in fruitfulness is sporadic unquestionable commitment .An abandonment to the statements of Christ across the board. This is reflected in the hard work of hospitality we lack in our home-model of being the body of Christ. W...
