LEADERSHIP QUOTE:
"Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground." Stephen Covey
A LITTLE BIT DEEPER:
This idea of GROWTH is interesting to me. We're going to spend a few weeks talking about it, but personally I'm being challenged to not simply "be content" with where I'm at today. I want to always be growing and developing. What about you? To see past themes, visit my blog HERE.
Covey's quote here really resonated with me today. In fact there's another line to this quote that simply says: "There's no greater investment."
Covey has impacted my growth since my early days of graduate school through his book and work on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. When I first read that book, I realized that as a young leader, I needed to grow. That started me on the journey of being a life-long learner, however as I get older, I find that it's easy to stop learning and just be content with where I'm at.
Today, as I contemplate this quote, these words are true: "self-growth is tender; it's holy ground."
I believe for each of us, this might mean something different.
I think in my younger days, I attacked personal growth with a vengeance, trying to consume as much as possible, working to build my resume, my portfolio and my toolbox. It was all about learning so I could leverage that into success in some way.
I think today, it's about being purposeful and identifying things that I still want to grow in, but also being very selective into where I'm spending my time, energy and resources.
I want my growth to count! This is why it's "tender & holy".
I don't want to waste my time, but I want to be always growing.
What does personal growth look like for you?
