THE KEY TO GROWTH

Growth can occur in a variety of ways. Abundance is seldom produced through sterile and hardened soil. A fruitful crop is rarely the product of an unattended and overgrown garden. We can grow and learn by unlearning, by letting go of something old in order to make room for something new. There are times to add extra nutrients to cultivate growth. A plentiful harvest is preceded by careful plowing, planting, and pruning.

When we develop our gifts, we in effect unwrap and unfold them for the benefit of all, including ourselves. Our gifts and talents increase as we nurture our nature. In contrast, when we feign to know it all, we close off promising opportunities to develop and expand our gifts. A garden reciprocates the love and care it receives from the gardener. To develop yourself is to love yourself.

Limitless possibilities await those who have the humility to admit they don’t know it all. Prosperity is found by cultivating an attitude of lifelong learning.

“Success” and “humility” are terms not commonly used interchangeably, yet the two words are intimately linked. As with “humility,” the etymological roots of “success” can be traced back to the soil. “Success” comes from the Latin “succeder” and means to come up through. The middle part of the word, “cede,” is an offshoot of “seed.” When a seed pushes through the dirt, or humus, into the daylight, it follows a path of success and succession. To come up through is to succeed. And the only way to come up through is to take advantage of the rich humus. We plant seeds of success by getting grounded and rooted in humility. There is no real humility without success and no real success without humility.
