NOTE FROM THE CEO

Note From the CEO

This month’s Growing Bolder focuses on growth. The desire for change is what leads to growth. Growth is never easy because it’s non-linear. It’s a never-ending series of steps forward, sideways, and backwards. It’s a process that involves risk and always leads to challenges because challenges are what stimulate growth.

Growth is uncomfortable at times, which is why it’s a process that many are unwilling to actively pursue. As a result, they stagnate and become trapped in a life and lifestyle they don’t enjoy and that no longer serves them.

To avoid growth is to deny ourselves the most important by-product — wisdom. Wisdom is the ultimate reward of aging. It leads us to our true selves by encouraging us to pursure that which matters most while eliminating that which matters least. Wisdom helps us understand and embrace the growth paradox that less is more.
