How do you know you are in a rut? Take a look at the differences between accidental and intentional growth.
Accidental Growth |
Intentional Growth |
Plans to start tomorrow | Insists on starting today |
Waits for growth to come | Takes complete responsibility to grow |
Learns only from mistakes | Often learns before mistakes |
Depends on growth | Relies on hard work |
Quits early and often | Perseveres long and hard |
Falls into bad habits | Fights for good habits |
Talks big | Follows through |
Plays it safe | Takes risks |
Thinks like a victim | Thinks like a learner |
Relies on talent | Relies on character |
Stops learning after graduation | Never stops growing |
