MEASURE YOUR GROWTH

In the court, the only way to freedom, is through substantial evidence.

To prove your innocence, you need to show that you didn't commit the crime.

And that's why it is said that evidence is the key a court needs to render their decision.

Once there's nothing backing up your statement, you will be convicted. 

In other words, you'll be confined. 

Stagnant.

The five year old you is very different from you now.

Everyone can tell.

Why?

Because the evidence is very clear. There's been a change in height, weight and even size.

I know in some homes, records are kept of how tall each child grows each year. 

If there's a sign of stunted growth, medical attention is called for immediately because it's not normal.

While we grow we notice changes, no matter how little.

There's a change in your dealings and relationship with people.

There's a change in your thinking.

You become sensitive to your environment too.

Now, in relation to your personal development, what evidence have you to show that yes, you're on track?

Or you just wake up one morning and feel you've moved from one stage to another.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

I knew I had grown a bit when I didn't cry on my last birthday.

I've always had what they call "Birthday Depression". Yeah, apparently it's a thing.

I didn't like it because it was a recurring habit.

I'm never happy and everything tends to irritate me on a day that's supposed to be one of the happiest in my life.

The irony!

This year, I was happy. 

I identified the things that made me feel that way, and worked towards avoiding them (crazy fact, most of it was all in my head) and well, it paid off.

You can only know that you've grown when you take cognizance of the things hindering you and the steps put in place to overcome them.

How would you try and proffer a solution to a cause you know not the source?

Great inventors have one thing in common. 

They keep track or record of whatever invention they want to bring to life.

They have laid down plans on what their goal is. 

Only when they have a record or chart of their work-in-progress can they say "Atlas, I have gotten what I want".

Can you boast about that?

If yes, then I'm happy for you but if no, I promise that it's not too late.

Measure your growth.

It's the only way you can know your stand.

It's the only way you can know if what you're doing is for you.

Why do you think your bank sends you a statement at the end of the month?

Figured it out?

So what's your next step of action? 😏
