“A continuous look at our assets and liabilities, and a real desire to learn and grow by this means, are necessities for us.” – 12&12

Can you imaging right now, from this point on, and for the rest of your life, not growing emotionally, spiritually or intellectually? That would be it. You would forever know only what you now know and no longer evolve in any way. How incredibly boring and sad that would be. 

Well guess what? That’s exactly what happens when I’m a know-it-all, when I always want to be right, and when I don’t really listen to others with an open mind. The only way to grow is to seriously consider others’ opinions, read from books that expand me emotionally, spiritually and intellectually, and try doing things in new ways. 

By opening up my mind, practicing actual, concrete actions that help me evolve, and then putting those new ideas into action, I am enriched with abundance and… ILML!
