In certain Asian countries, men are so insecure about their height that they are forcing growth.
They do this by having their legs surgically broken and the bones separated just far enough that the new growth causes an increase in the bone’s length.
This is quite a drastic measure to gain a little height.
They will repeat this process as long as the legs can stand it until they get the desired height.
Personal growth comes through similarly drastic measures.
A close friend of mine said that he never experiences growth unless it is forced upon him.
Otherwise, the days go by one after another with no change whatsoever.
We are all this way.
Because of this, we have to take drastic measures to force growth.
If you think about it, most growth occurs after something comes into our lives to “break” us.
Personal crisis and tragedy always result in growth.
So if we can do something to “break” ourselves, growth can result.
We do this by putting ourselves in a position we don’t want to be in. Forcing discomfort by facing our fears.
What is the thing you are most afraid of?
Go do that.
