Growth Curves

Today's daily dose: Growth Curves        
---------------------------
When you begin something new - anything where you are unsure, you start off at the bottom of the scale. If you imagine a graph you are on the bottom left hand point - zero knowledge, zero ability. And then as you start to learn whatever it is, you start to climb the growth scale. Now depending on how fast you pick up new things, and how much effort you are willing to put into your new venture will depend on the shape of the growth curve. What you will find happens with all things, is you may find yourself plateauing out and you may even feel like you are going backwards at some point. But that is normal. Every time you go back to that particular "problem" or learning, you start again from a much higher starting point on the scale.

And as you know by now, everything impacts on everything else. So it gets easier to learn new things, because your mind is ready for the next set of challenges. Just as your muscles need variety, so does your mind. So stretch yourself a little today - who knows how far your growth will go if you don't try.
