The choice between growth and stagnation (DW#373)
One lesson that we can learn from nature is that there is no standing still.
Change is an integral part of any living thing. In the medical world, in fact, the clinical definition of death is a body that does not change. In other words, change is a sign of life and the lack of change signifies death.
There are, of course, two types of change in a living organization – there is either growth or there is decline and decay. A living organization’s life span is birth, growth, reaching its peak, decaying and then dying.
For personal growth, we can use a similar metaphor: we can grow towards maturity and wisdom, reaching our full potential or we can fall into decay towards a metaphorical "death". Just like in nature, there is no standing still.
Let us take a moment to reflect on which areas of our life are in a growth phase and which are in stagnation or decay.
