In a couple of hours, I will be facilitating another “Emerging Leaders” group sessions here at work.  We are working our way through John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth.  Here is an application from the end of chapter 5 (Law of Consistency) that is worth sharing:

“The more whys you have for pursuing personal growth on a daily basis, the more likely you will be to follow through.  Start compiling those whys.  Think of immediate benefits as well as long-term ones.  Consider reasons related to purpose, vision, and dreams.  Think of how it will help you relationally, vocationally, and spiritually.  Any reason to grow is a good reason as long as it’s your reason.”
