Growth

'Every day in every way, I am and my world is, getting better and better'.

Years ago, Tony Robbins coined the term; 'constant and never-ending improvement'(CANI) as a philosophy for personal growth and success. At the beginning of the summer I was sitting on a park bench near my house when an elderly woman came and sat down beside me. At 84 years of age, that day she had retired from her position as 'book repairer' at a local library. She told me that while she was sad, mostly she was excited about having the time to pursue many other areas of interest for which she didn't have the time while working. For the first time since that meeting I saw her yesterday. With passion, excitement and a gleam in her eyes she related to me some of her experiences of the last few months. She has delved into the worlds of botany and zoology...two of the keen interests of her youth. She is looking forward to getting a computer and internet one day soon so that she can explore these and other interests via the web.

God's plan for us is that our growth never ceases...that our lives are a continuous upward and never-ending spiral of improvement and exploration...for eternity...as heaven descends to earth.
