Growth.
Mindful motivation.
Let's explore a theme that's central to our well-being.
Growth.
Take a moment to settle in and arrive in this collective space together.
If it feels comfortable,
Close your eyes or lower your gaze.
Take a deep breath in and a slow breath out.
Growth isn't about getting bigger or accumulating more.
It's about expanding,
Evolving and becoming more fully ourselves.
It's a continuous journey and one that we can consciously nurture.
I often think about the phrase,
Go where you want to grow.
This isn't just about physical spaces.
It's about intentionally creating and fostering environments,
Both external and internal,
Where we can truly thrive.
Ask yourself,
What kind of conversations uplift you?
What activities spark your curiosity?
What internal beliefs empower you?
These are the environments we want to cultivate.
And a question that comes back to me again and again,
What would we do if we knew we could not fail?
Let that idea settle for a moment.
Imagine that fear of failure completely lifted.
What dreams would surface?
What steps would you take?
Often our biggest limitations aren't external but internal.
This question invites us to explore our true potential.
When we are focused on growth,
Two qualities are important,
Focus and clarity.
Focus helps us direct our energy towards what matters,
Cutting through the noise.
Clarity helps us understand what we want to grow into and why.
Without them,
We feel scattered,
Moving without true direction.
And then there is patience and resilience.
Growth isn't always linear.
There will be plateaus,
Setbacks and moments of doubt.
Patience allows us to trust the process,
Knowing that some things take time to blossom.
Resilience is our ability to bounce back,
To learn from challenges,
And to keep moving forward even when it's tough.
Finally,
I want to challenge a common belief,
Busy is not a badge.
We live in a world that often glorifies being constantly busy.
For me,
If there's something I truly want to do,
Something that aligns with my growth,
I don't let busy stand in the way.
I make the time to do it.
It's about prioritizing what truly matters for our evolution.
As we step into summer,
Let's carry this intention with us.
Let's seek out and create spaces where we can grow,
Dare to dream without the fear of failure,
Cultivate focus,
Clarity,
Patience and resilience.
And remember,
Our growth is worthy of our time and attention.
Take one more deep breath in and a slow breath out.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes and carry this mindful motivation of growth with you today,
Tomorrow and into your next week.
Thank you and have a beautiful day.
