How Things Grow

Do you want to know how things grow? 

Say “yes”!

Seeds say “yes” to the soil and water.
Animals say yes to their surroundings and inbred instincts.

You and I say “yes” to new information, new technology and ideas. 

And we grow.

I cannot imagine using an old manual typewriter to do all the writing I do in the course of my week.  A long time ago I said “yes” to computers and now can’t live without one.

What have you said “yes” to and now you find it is an indispensible part of your life and a cause for your growth?

Education/learning
Quality books and literature
Other minds more brilliant than self
Growth experiences/seminars

We say “yes” and we absorb. 

Absorb!  (a few synonyms)
  Soak up
    Take in
      Attract
        Sop up
          Suck up

We receive input in order to grow, and growth happens in all of life.

Have you grown lately?

Then you, perhaps, are saying “Yes” to the life around you, and the availability and abundance of knowledge and experiences that surround you.

Good for you.
