Do you push yourself to engage in experiences that expand and enlarge who you are? The types of experiences where the self that comes out of the experience is different, larger, bigger than that which entered. Often we engage in experiences that we enjoy, that fulfill us currently and that cause us temporary happiness. But rarely do we engage in that which forces growth, that pushes us beyond our current state, to make us more complete in the big picture of our life. Experiences that push us beyond the 'now' and force us into our 'tomorrow'. Those things that challenge both our thinking and our comfort zones, that fulfill the temporary and the long term. And if we don't, our rate of growth is slow and we will perhaps find ourselves stuck.
At some point we must sign up for the enlarging experiences. We must sign up for life and then choose to sign up for those moments that make our life bigger and better. We must sign up for the growth of ourselves, for the challenging yet life-enhancing moments. Our life may not suffer if we choose not to sign up for these moments, however, it surely won't be what it could be. We won't even realize how incomplete this life is. However, our ignorance to the completeness does not change the fact that it is quite incomplete.
It takes courage and strength of self to choose these experiences.
Those who do choose to live, to challenge themselves, to seek out moments to fill themselves beyond the current capacity, become larger than life. They grow beyond their limits and find a fulfillment bigger than they could have predicted.
Have you signed up for your life?
What moments do you create and engage in to make your life bigger than it is at this moment?
Luckily, every day is a chance to turn it all around and create a life that exceeds your wildest dreams. You just need courage, self-knowledge of what you really want, discipline of follow through & the belief that it's worth it. You just need to sign up...
