Growth, Understanding, and Maturity.

There are five things that will aid in the process of transforming your life:
1. Foundation
2. Growth, Understanding, and Maturity (GUM)
3. Creativity
4. Productivity
5. Distribution
The Foundation is the beginning of any process; this would be the same as planting. The second thing is Growth, Understanding, and Maturity. These three belong in one phase of your life. Also, this phase is where the majority of people get stuck, and some even end their journey here. Let’s break down this  phase.

Growth
Many are struggling to achieve more, but they are not growing. A kindergartener may want more in life but will not have it until a certain age. He or she has to grow first. Whatever you are experiencing, as long as you do not stop growing, nothing will be able to destroy your future. The moment we stop increasing in knowledge, and allow beliefs that can change our lives to fade away, we are in serious trouble. Spiritual, mental, and emotional growth must never stop. Your access to knowledge and having a positive outlook on life is non-negotiable.


Understanding
Understanding is a prerequisite to living successfully. People will amount to nothing in life without good understanding. Unfortunately, this is one of the most challenging aspects of our lives. We live and act daily, without a thorough understanding. It is easy to spot when there is a lack of understanding in any setting. People will disagree and limit all the possibilities around them. When you identify people with conflicts, confusion, poverty, and failure, there is a lack of understanding of their conduct and principles.

Maturity
Growth and understanding lead to maturity. In layman’s language, maturity means ripe. There are things you will not experience in life unless you become mature. Your knowledge of concept and growth is responsible for your success. Are you growing daily? When was the last time you clearly understood something that could bring change to your life? Coming of age opens you up to new access to people, opportunities, ideas, new status, or position. Your maturity will open up different experiences of life to you. The immature will however always live in fear of uncertainties because they cannot see beyond where they are, and will be unable to confront their future.
