It's never a waste of time...

Or energy, when we choose to grow.

Growth always needs something, and when it comes to us...our best investment for growth is our time and energy.

If we choose to grow and give nothing, what we choose, will wither away.

So let's not cheat ourselves, for what we invest in, is an investment in our future.

On any Team...

There is an unseen force, which is called "heart".

Just as in the human body, if it's flowing properly, it promotes growth
and life sustaining qualities.

The same goes with the "heart" of the the team, which is made up by the
individuals, beating as one.

Because when all the hearts are beating together and in alignment,
there is a lot of blood flowing in the right direction.

There is a saying..

"Those who don't read history, are condemned to repeat it".

But more precisely, cycles in history, life and nature, are what we need to understand.

Most everything is cyclical - if viewed with enough time.

The cycle that spans the human life are birth, growth, receding, death,
and in ancient history they represent it as a unit of time called a
saeculum.

There is a cyclical pattern in organic nature - in the seasons, in
tides, in night and day, maybe early or late, but winter always comes.

War, depressions, inflations also are regular, and may also come
earlier or later, but the cycles roll on, and they lie deep in the
natural life of humanity.

Understanding cycles can allow us to be prepared for what comes next - pretty sweet.

Constant Growth?

Not really - Growth comes in cycles.

In humans, it takes years to grow and it comes in cycles known as
growth spurts, and the in between times, the body is adapting to what
has been achieved.

In nature, things grow in seasons and not non-stop.

In life, we can't always be growing and taking it to the "Next Level",
we need to have time to re-group.

Even in business, growth is balanced by times of consolidation -
catching up to what has been built upon the foundation, allowing for
future growth.

So don't get discouraged if things are not constantly growing, it just
doesn't happen that way.
