Lesson 199: Get On With Your Growing

It just ain’t possible to explain some things. It’s interesting to wonder on them and do some speculation, but the main thing is you have to accept it — take it for what it is and get on with your growing.
— Jim Dodge

Today we are to accept one thing that allows us to get on with our growing. It doesn’t have to be the biggest change because even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in our lives.

One thing I accept that allows me to grow, is that I don’t have all the answers to everything and that’s okay. I sometimes feel like I should be more knowledgeable or that I’m not adequate around people who are having intellectual conversation. But that’s not to say that I can’t learn through my own study and reading. I think if I’m willing to learn then that’s a good step towards growth, rather than shutting down/closing off to new ideas. I think when I listen to others speak, they can sometimes just blow my mind because they know about the source material of the discussion than what I can contribute. I think in those moments I just need to remind myself to take a step back and listen because these people can teach me. I really need to stop discounting myself and my input. I just admit I might not know everything about a subject but doesn’t mean I’m not willing to learn. This is part of my growth and I can only expand from here. How about you?
