So, if you are here to learn, why do you sometimes feel like you are stuck? Like your just not getting it.

Because you came to Learn and Grow.

What does it mean to grow?

It means you put away childish things.

This is another simple answer that gets complicated but needs to be kept simple.

How did you grow?

When you were a child, you played with toys: balls and dolls. As an adult you have different toys.

That is growth.

What are your toys now? And how long have you been playing with them?

If you’re feeling bored or listless, it maybe because you have outgrown your current toys and need some new ones.

It’s called challenge.

When you first looked at a ball you wondered what it was. Then you learned it rolled. Then you learned it bounced. Then you learned you could throw it and then you learned how to aim it and catch it when someone else threw it.

No one has written the curriculum for ball, but there it is. When you learned ball-you were done with it. And you moved on to something else.

The moving on to something else is Growth.

What usually happens is you may tend to get stuck. If you can’t see something more interesting than Ball, like Skateboard, you don’t grow. You stay stuck with Ball. It’s what you know.

Does this mean all professional ball players are stuck on Ball?

Absolutely not. It means they have found how to turn their toy (the ball) into what helps them to learn and grow.

People go to school to learn. They pick a field of study to specialize in. The more they learn the more they specialize. And they keep learning more and more about less and less until they learn all there is about nothing.

Each life has a theme – for some it’s ball, for others it’s chemistry, for others it’s money, politics, maintenance.

These are the toys of planet Earth.
