Personal Growth Is A Response

The premise I would like to propose to you is that all personal growth is a response to a change you experience. To explain my point, let’s look to the analogy of bodybuilding and how muscle growth occurs.

The basic strategy for building muscle is to progressively lift heavier weights. One week you might lift 100 pounds, and stress your body with that challenge. Upon resting and healing, your muscles come back stronger  - and the next week, you may be able to lift 105 or 110 pounds. Through progressively lifting larger weights, over time your muscles grow stronger and can lift weights that you may have never dreamed you would be able to reach.

Conversely, consider what happens at the other extreme when individuals are bed-ridden and do not exercise their muscles. It has been documented that individuals who are completely sedentary over time lose their muscle mass: their muscles shrink and deteriorate from lack of use .

So, if we know that muscle growth occurs as a response to lifting heavier weights, and muscle loss occurs from a total lack of physical weight bearing activities: how can we apply this to broader personal growth?

The answer: Just as our muscles respond to a stimulus (or lack thereof) of lifting weights, so too all personal growth is a stimulus-response cycle.
