I was sifting though my email inbox this past week — giving it a little “spring clean” — and came a cross several forwarded emails. Most often they go unopened and are deleted, but today I took the time to read a couple. The one that caught my eye shared this message…
There is a H U G E difference between growing older and growing up.
The email went further into the concept…as I reflected, I thought –> That is SO true! <– growing old is effortless — anybody can grow old and will grow old. BUT growing UP takes intentional action; always looking for opportunity IN change TO change…to become.
I love the innocence of children. I love how curious they are. But for me, I would never want to go back to that age in my life. I’ve got great memories from my childhood, for the most part, but I have no desire to ever go back. I love today, now. I love growing old AND growing up.

What about you — would ever want to go back to the younger years? What do you think about growing old and growing up? Do you see there is a huge difference?
What did you do today to GROW UP? Are you intentionally growing up?
