I was watching a variety show that is comedy in nature but still teaches values. and one of the host actually said something which made me think. He said, “growth is not just experiencing things, but accepting and overcoming what we ‘dislike’ and experienced.”
My interpretation of this is that growth is not just experiencing something – we can experience something we dislike or can’t accept and then avoid it – that is not growth. We can easily avoid everything we can’t handle or dislike – I don’t like socialising, I avoid all social events; I am afraid of water, I don’t go near any water bodies.
Growth is facing it, accepting it and overcoming it (if possible). If I’m afraid of water, I analyse why and work my way to be able to at least get into the water or stay afloat. this is growth.
Do you agree with what he say?

Interesting and thought-provoking topic! I like this perspective.
I have the same thought! It’s a perspective I don’t usually hear or see…
People just usually tell you to go experience life and that makes one better… but they often miss out the part that learning, accepting and overcoming is the real growth that makes people better
I guess some of them assume that knowledge comes with experience by default, but I agree with you that not everyone is able to learn and implement the new knowledge that easily.
its good great example for growth
Thank you for dropping by, Earnwic
Something great for others to think about. I don’t have any children so I could not complete the poll.
It doesn’t matter Carol, I’m glad you attempted the poll and shared your thoughts 🙂
Great post!
I remember how the seed of a tree grew between the rock gaps… There is also a twist to and fro on the ground to find cement cracks to find the sun and fresh air.
Great example, Albert!!
Growth is never an easy to achieve, I guess
but it’s something that make us better and in the case of the seedling, important for their survival
Grow old far easier than growing up!
I use to be afraid of heights but now I welcome height related challenges. First i zip-lined, then I i para-sailed. The view was so beautiful I am wanting more chances to view things like that.
Wow! This is inspiring! A great example of growth!!
I salute your courage, LaJenna!!
