🌳 If you don't grow, you rot

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"They say that true hell is when the person you are meets the person your could have been"

IF YOU DON'T GROW, YOU ROT

Growth should be something that you continuously search for, something that you're hungry for, a hunger that never ends but should also be something that happens naturally, a lifestyle choice. A lifestyle choice, meaning that you choose whether you want to grow or not, In every situation that you encounter in life you can make a choice:

'Has this just happened to me or has this just happened for me?' Has it happened to you so that you're now hopeless with no control or has it happened for you so that you can learn from it, grow and evolve? This critical question to ask yourself will deter how you react to every situation and how you walk away from it.

If you want to grow you have to take everything as a lesson. As awful as the situation may be, it teaches you something which may be minor or major that will allow you to level yourself up with more experience and more understanding that you didn't have before.

That is an impenetrable mindset to have, one that will come out on top in every scenario. The mindset of learning for every mistake, every failure and setback and enabling it to form you into a better person.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Think back to some of the worst times in your life, or even just the bad times and ask yourself the question 'what did I learn from that?'

The first step to that mindset switch is to realise that you have the power to extract good from bad situations.

TAKEAWAYS:

Everything is a lesson, you have to figure out what its trying to teach you.
