Living And
Growing
By CARL MUMPOWEK
The AshevMe CouseNng Center
They call it growing up. That pro
can that we go through when we
move through childhood to adulthood
We don't have much choice about the
matter. We're going to grow
regardless of our wishes to the con
trary. What is within our control is
how we grow. We have the option of
growing up, toward maturity, sen
sitivity, and personhood, or growing
down toward other alternatives. It's
an important distinction.
Growth is not something to be left
to chance. The natural system may
help us along the way, but a more in
tentional touch is more likely to lead
to better results. The parent, for ex
ample, who consciously seeks out op
portunities (or their child to grow in a
positive way, has a better chance at
seeing a good outcome than a parent
who let's things flip and flop along.
That's also true for you and I.
There's something to be said for
taking life in stride, but not to the ex
clusion of purposeful growth. The
more we reach, the better our
chances of experiencing our potential
and life at its fullest.
There's another important point
about growth. We can't grow in all
ways at ths same time Our Uvea pass
through different phases where dif
ferent growth will occur. In my own
life, for example, the past decade has
been devoted to academic, financial,
and professional growth.
Even as I write, I am aware of a
dawning transition to emotional,
social, and spiritual growth. Having
made pretty good strides in the
former areas, it's time to place
primary emphasis on other equally
important areas. That's not to say
that those others cease to exist. They
continue to walk with me, but not as
closely as in the past. In our lives it is
important that we grow. It is not
necessairly important that we grow
in all ways at all times.
Someone once said that when we
quit the process of growing, we begin
the process of dying. Certainly it is
true that growth is not near so much
an option as a necessity in life. Look
to your own life. You are growing, but
is it taking you up or down? You
chances for successful growth are
much enhanced by your willingness
to make growing important.
In reaching, you will not only
discover who you are, but also who
you can become.

When you're a kid it's fun! You don't even know there s a
law of gravity but you're defying it. you're proving to the world
you're fearless
Later in life the idea of HANGING ON has more serious
connotations. The very expression reminds us that there are
precarious times in life when one isn't sure how it will all turn
out
For centuries mankind has turned to religion for moral and
spiritual strength and endurance. Faith helps us grasp firmly
truths that provide a sound foundation for daily living. Trust
helps us withstand the downward pull of discouragement,
despair.
The hour or so we spend at worship during the week can
make a deference in our daily life. Attend the church or
synagogue of your choice.
