The Question: 

How do I assist myself in growing? 

&mpersand Answers: 

This is one of those answers that pleases the people who are into change no end, and totally freaks out the people who resist change at all costs. 

The only way to grow, Belovèd, is to change. The only way. 

You’ll have to do one of two operations. Either you’ll have to let go of something from your past that keeps you stuck there, or you’ll have to acquire something new that will propel you toward your dream. Either way, it’s a change. 

Have a serious look at yourself in the mirror. How do you feel about change? A lot of us love it! And an equal lot of us deplore it! What to do. Figure out which one you are—or somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t matter where you are with respect to change as long as you’re not fooling yourself about it. 

What could you change, right now, that will leave you a baby step closer to your goal? Is it a let go or an acquire something new? Do it. Then ask the same question tomorrow. 

Real, healthy change is incremental. That’s how you assist yourself in growing, and in making it stick.
