No child is given birth to and immediately he or she starts walking or talking, he or she needs to go through the process of growing from one stage to the other.
The growth they say is a process of increasing. We start from the infancy stage to early childhood, to middle childhood, and the adolescence stage.
Most times, we get to see kids that fall after attempting to walk and still won't give up, that's the challenge he just overcame. while some after falling are always afraid to take a step, watch them, they take longer in growing like other mates because of fear of falling.
So is life, In life, we can say we've grown up until we've passed through the rigorous level of growth we are meant to pass through.
Every growth level in life is meant to prepare us for the next phase of life and until we've been able to pass through such levels, we can't prove how much we've grown in life.
Growth isn't all about the physical attribute but also our intellectual, emotional, psychological, and otherwise.
Anyone who is not ready or willing to grow is not ready to achieve anything and he or she will remain ignorant about what life is all about.
TIPS ABOUT WHAT CAN MAKE US GROW IN LIFE
-Challenges
For those of us who are always afraid of facing challenges in life, who shriek when we are faced we challenge, this is for you. Life isn't always fair and won't always bring to our plate what we want but will bring to us what we never expected but the truth is, for one to grow in life, one must be ready to face challenges. Our challenges not only build us but it is an eye-opener for us which gives us better experiences about life. It makes us understand life better. This is life, challenges will always come but when we stand strong and brave and face the challenges no matter what gives us a sense of confidence in things we are capable of doing.
-Stretch Out
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying stretch out your hand and pick what does not belong to you, this is what I am saying, many of us are so comfortable with our current life that we find it difficult to move out of our comfort zone. Mehn! who wants to discomfort his or her body? I guess, I already know the answer, nobody. When toddlers are determined to get something, they will go to any extent like crawl-walking not minding if their body is paining them or will peel, if they feel tired, they will relax and after some time, they will go back, stretch their hands until they get what they want.
So it should be with us, leaving our comfort zone no matter what it takes, and reaching out to do the things that seem impossible in life makes a man grow. Anyone who isn't ready to leave his or her comfort zone can never grow in life. Rest, but don't stop there even if you fail, keep stretching out, just one day, you might get it. Nothing comes to you in your comfort zone, but when you stretch out, you get them
-Be ready to take a good risk
The risk most times do not always end up in our favor but be ready to take a risk in life, and a good one at that. Most times, the risk is worth the trial. Don't push things away, stop leaving in fear of losing all. When you continue to leave in fear, you won't be able to do anything because you are already afraid of the outcome. I call it fear of the unknown. Being afraid of the unknown deprives us of the present happiness we are supposed to enjoy and the future happiness that we should have invested in. Risk-taking teaches us the do and don't, the norms, principles, and ways of life which help to build us as well.
Many people complain about so many things in life but the truth is, you never go to see them at their best. Opportunities never come knocking at their doors to meet them ready at all times, they always become ready only one opportunity come their way but that is not right. Any man who wants to grow and wants to take a conscious step in growing must be ready at all times to take risks but risk that is good.
Growth is one of the important tips for life and for anyone who wants to succeed in life either financially, business-wise, emotionally, academically, maritally, and otherwise.
