Growth seems to happen naturally but it in fact doesn't. Certain steps have to be taken to ensure growth. A mother carrying a child must eat well and rest enough to ensure that the fetus continues to grow. When the baby is born, he must be fed, kept clean, and rested so that he will continue to grow.

For the most part,

• Growth is expected. 

• Growth is available. 

• Growth is possible.

There are several areas in our personal lives where we can choose to experience growth. 

A few areas are listed below:

• Knowledge

• Resourcefulness

• Communication

• Spirituality

• Managing change

• Conflict resolution

• Healthy habits

• Organizational skills

• Managing stress

• Emotional

• Confidence

• Judgment

• Social

• Leadership

• Creativity
