Growth, Development And Maturity

As humans, one of our biggest flaws lies within our impatience. If we desire something, we don't just want it, we want it now. Proof of this can be seen all around us, every single day, and perhaps we, ourselves, are part of that proof. Such an example is humankind's desire for wealth and financial freedom, as rather than apply ourselves to years of hard work, sacrifice, perseverance, and commitment, we instead seek out short cuts. Rather than investing our money in our goals and our future, we instead invest in lottery tickets, in the hope we can achieve that wealth and financial freedom without the need to barely lift a finger. Another example lies within humankind's ambition to achieve success, and rather than proving one's worth through hard work and the demonstration of their skills and talent, many people rise to higher positions purely from who they know, not what they know, bypassing the need to work hard. Of course, it's only natural to want success, wealth, and the accomplishment of our goals, in our life right now, but to achieve such rewards without having worked hard, having exercised patience, having proved our resilience and determination, and having demonstrated our true skill, talent, and creativity, would be like making and eating a pizza without any toppings. This pizza may be food, and we could ingest it as it is, yet we would be eating nothing more than the pizza base, the dough, that is bland and near tasteless. If we took the time though, we could add pizza sauce, cheese, ham, capsicum, onion, tomato, pineapple, or whatever pleases our taste buds, and we could turn that unsatisfying pizza base into something truly delicious. Achieving our goals, success, and wealth, is no different. If we apply ourselves, exercise patience, reveal true resilience, and genuinely prove our worth, we can turn that success, wealth, and accomplishment, into reward with real satisfaction.

Many people fail to understand that the true success, in the pursuit of our goals, success, and financial freedom, isn't obtained in reaching the rewards themselves, it's achieved throughout the journey. Why, you may ask? Three words; growth, development, and maturity. Neither money or success will ever be more valuable than what growth, development, and maturity is. These three blessings are crafted from learning and education, and I'm not talking about school or college here. This is about life learning, how to maturely handle and control our emotions, how to effectively manage our mindset, and how to wisely handle adversity and failure. These are all achieved from experience. We cannot grow, develop, and mature, unless we bring ourselves into situations and circumstances where we are forced to act, forced to respond, forced to be proactive, forced to find a solution, and forced to be creative. It's through adversity, challenges, and failure, that we are given the opportunity to prove ourselves, and reveal the true potential we have within us. It's in these times we gain experience, and we learn. Life will throw these times at us regularly, but there's no prize at the end here, maybe just a bit of relief, a lesson learnt, and a new direction. When we force ourselves into the journey towards our goals, success, and prosperity, and we persevere and remain resilient to reaching these aspirations, we not only have something worthwhile to obtain, we are also rewarded with that invaluable growth, development, maturity, learning, and experience. We better ourselves as a person, and we become mentally and emotionally stronger. It's navigating our way through the journey, where we find true success and satisfaction, and it's off the back of that growth, development, and maturity, that we gain along that journey, which propels us to true glory.
