Growth doesn’t happen by accident—it requires conscious effort. When we are intentional about growth, we actively develop ourselves to become the kind of people who can steward success when it comes. We address the cracks in our lives so they don’t sabotage our success or crumble under the pressure that comes with it. Growth happens in many areas. It may involve healing from past trauma, overcoming bad relationships, and learning to forgive those who have hurt us. It could also mean developing good habits that become character traits, ultimately bringing us closer to where we want to go. Growth starts in our belief system, rooted deep in our unconscious mind. It then shapes our thinking and emotions. When we practice a habit long enough, it becomes part of our character—and our character determines our destination.
