Growth and Change

Matt Haig wrote some powerful lines about growth and change in his book “The Comfort Book”.

“When everything goes well, we tend not to grow. Because to grow we need to change, because growth is change.”

And the truth is, as humans we are uncomfortable with change.

Do you attempt to change or make changes when the going is good for you?

Be honest about the answer.

Many don’t change even when it’s the need of the hour. So, wanting to change when the going is good is tough.

It is generally when we face hard times that we evolve. Often, we need to fail in order to learn, just as a bodybuilder needs weight to resist against. It is impossible to grow in a world without struggle.

Are you struggling with something? I am sure you are just like we all are with something.

Our growth lies in what we do as well as what we don’t do during this struggle.

Thus, get proactive with change. See change as an opportunity and be the Chief Change Officer that you, your team and your clients so deserve.

They are all counting on you. We all are.
