We need to grow, to move beyond our current state. It’s genetically baked into all of us. And while we have relatively little control over our physical emergence, we have a tremendous amount of power to develop our mind. How we fuel, amplify, throttle or accelerate is almost completely up to us, especially as we grow older. Some people lean in more than others. They have a thirst for intellectual growth through learning, understanding, engagement and deep thought. It turns out, these are the people most likely to lead positive change, to make things better. It also turns out, if we surround ourselves with people like this, their habits, practices and posture eventually rubs off. How can we improve our chances of success? We can find growth oriented groups of people. Or, we can build our own. Either way is a path forward. We can start with one and see where it takes us.
