Growing is an action; something that you do. Something we should all do. When I think about it, we are always presenting progressing towards some goal:
- Growing up
- Growing old
- Growing your hair out
- Growing grey
- Growing taller
- Growing wiser
I’m sure the list could grow even longer. But once you stop growing, then you start slowly ebbing away. Dying, really. If you’re not growing up, maturing, then that means you’re stopped right where you are. Are you at your maturity pinnacle right now?
If you’re not growing any older, and this can be done with grace & elegance (yay!), then you’ve stopped right where you are. If you stop growing, doing, then life is at a stand still.
I don’t know too many who enjoy growing grey hair. Some barely enjoy growing their hair out. It’s a rough process, but once you’re past the awkward stages, then your hair can look fantastic.
Growing wiser. I don’t know anyone who would purposefully choose to recede in wiseness. Who wants to go backwards from growing in knowledge? Why limit your brain to all it knows only here and now?
