Contest: "If Growth Was A Person"

Good morning my beautiful and handsome kids and parents in the house, I trust you had a splendid night rest. I'm glad we are all sound and hearty, all thanks to God for His mercy towards us.

Ahaha! It's a beautiful Monday morning. A new day, a new week. Let's keep our hopes alive and stay focused, I believe everything will just align for us. Be positive.

Thank you very much @bossj23 for bringing about this contest on "growth" for us to reminisce about.

Only a dead person wouldn't know or experience growth.
Even a foetus understands the language of growth, that is why when someone is pregnant, her tommy would start growing gradually from months to months until the baby is ready to come out through giving birth.

So growth is a gradual process. That's why we are expected to grow even in our businesses or endeavors.

• And also my impact on others; I find joy in being an inspiration and motivation to others. This also associates with growth.

👉How would you feel if you were still how you were 10 years from your age and what things do you do to appreciate growth?

Me standing in front during our matriculation 11 years ago. Chai. Please don't laugh at your friend na.

God forbids, I wouldn't even wish it on an enemy. It would have shows that I'm stagnated, not making progress or evolving.
The desire for one to learn, develop new skills and also achieve some set goals are fundamental to human's existence.

What I do to keep appreciating growth is, I don't rule out the "God factor in my life", Very important. Then I can also appreciate growth through continual learning and development.

Oh Growth! If you were a person I would have loved you till eternity.
