One of the biggest questions I get all the time is around this idea of growing. Growing mentally, spiritually, professionally, or whatever it may be. And when it comes to growth, no matter what area of life you’re talking about, there are certain laws to creating sustained growth. Certain things that cause growth and certain things that stifle it.
Growth, only comes in two ways.
- Awakening
- Tough love
Awakening is that moment that everybody looking for. It’s probably why you’re reading this blog right now. We’re looking for that secret. That magic bullet. That aha moment. That changes everything. Because the Awakening form of growth can be very addicting. It’s so amazing to see a brand new perspective on life that just hit you smack dab in the face. They come to do you like divine intervention. It can be extremely addicting exclamation point
The challenge that most of us face of course, is that most of growth happens through tough love. And this is the part that we always try to resist. We chalk it up to unfortunate circumstances and some of us fall back into victim mode and start saying things to ourselves like “Poor me”. “Why is this happening to me right now?” “I can’t believe this!”
But if we’re going to grow on a continuous basis, we have to be willing to take on the tough love and transform it into growth and break through because tough love is where 80% of your growth is going to take place. The key, is learning how to transform tough love into breakthrough.
The key to Growing through tough love is this… Ask better questions!
Every PROBLEM in your life and business has a hidden powerful QUESTION in it.
That QUESTION has a powerful ANSWER hidden in it.
Every ANSWER has an ACTION that is dying to come into reality.
Because that new ACTION is a NEW WAY OF LIFE for you waiting to be born.
Are you going through some tough love in your life right now? Be glad, be grateful and ask yourself a better question. Because powerful questions lead to a powerful life.
