A caterpillar goes about its life as a young insect; it wanders about on the ground. Its day is spent crawling across the earth or climbing over obstacles using its many legs. Eventually it will climb to a point where it can create a cocoon. Once inside it undergoes a transformation and eventually emerges as a butterfly.
As a butterfly, it no longer resembles its former self of a caterpillar. Besides looking very different it now lives a different life, flying through the air on its wings. It has changed its looks and how it travels.
Maybe there is a lesson in that story for us! Too often I see people invest their time and resources in an effort to “grow better”. No don’t get me wrong; I love to see people seeking to better themselves. Yet if they continue to grow won’t they end up with more of the same? If the caterpillar grew, wouldn’t it just be a bigger caterpillar?
The biggest detriment I see people make with their progress is when they grow comfortable with where they are currently. To truly become better and change our results, we must change! Don’t grow your habits change them.
Get out of your comfort zone and change yourself and your capabilities. Stop focusing on how to do more of the same and instead develop new skills. As you do, your results will do more then grow, they will change.
I welcome your comments and hope that you with share with us ways in which you are changing and improving your results.
