Growth occurs because you feel a push, or pull, to move in a direction. The objective is to obtain a balance such that discontent disappears. Once you achieve necessary change, you will be able to leave discontented feelings behind you. Focus on situation that makes you feel discontent, not on other issues that may, or may not, make you feel better. The contented feeling from "doing busy work" or fixing something that isn't broken is fleeting, unless you tackle core issue.

The growth comes in once you embrace change. When you move from an area of familiar, you must learn something new or different to adapt to unfamiliar. However, in this transition, you are putting your life back in balance and moving forward, which eliminates those feelings of discontent.

Don't let discontent drag you down! Listen to your gut! It will always tell you when change is necessary. It might be a simple gnawing feeling or a twisted knot. In either case, be honest with yourself and trust that feeling. Discontent is universe's way of telling you that a change is necessary within yourself to resolve situation. It is there to warn you of situations and guide you when things need to change.

To make change, you have to know where you are and where you want to be in near future. However, one thing to keep in mind is that you want to achieve some type of balance to counter discontent. Remember that discontent is caused from an imbalance in one or more parts of your life. Ask yourself, and focus on, what it is that is causing you most concern. Once you are able to determine issue, only then can you set out on a goal that satisfies feeling. Such an approach will not only restore balance, but it will also allow you to move forward to a more fulfilling life.

We are always ready to hold on to who we are and what we have. It is a safety zone and a way to keep things comfortable and easy for ourselves. But, sometimes this safety zone can stifle us and eventually kill our will.

The difficulty in handling challenges is in our ability to adapt and adjust to circumstance and to a new view of ourselves. In every challenge comes an opportunity for growth and change. This growth is a way to prepare us for our future and to open new doors for experience and further growth. Once you learn to embrace this growth and your new self, you will be able to move forward in life with ease.

Challenges provide us with an environment of change. They make us stronger. They force us to use our creativity to devise new ways of doing things. They help us to grow and be better than we were before. Learn to adapt as challenges present themselves. Don't allow challenge to define you. But, as you move through circumstance and conquer challenge, identify important issues of benefit for yourself and incorporate those lessons into your life.

Accept, adapt, and become a newer and better person for every new lesson. Once you look back on your life, you'll find that you're not only a better person, but you also made it to your objective!
