Happy Monday Inspiration: Choose Growth

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” ~Abraham Maslow

As I continue on my journey of 9-5 and building my career coaching and consulting practice, this quote is hitting home. Sometimes the safe zone seems much easier, here you don’t have to deal with the unknown. For the most part, you know what to expect. The challenge comes when you are no longer satisfied with the status quo and you make the decision to try something new so that you can make the thing(s) that’s been on your heart happen instead of dreaming and wishing. You decide to add structure and action so that you can build the career and life that brings satisfaction and self-defined success. You push through fear to expand your comfort zone, baby step by baby step, so that years from now you don’t have to look back with regret. Instead you can reflect on the steps you were willing to take, no matter how uncomfortable, so that you can grow and step fully into your potential.
