Growth

“Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.”—Gail Sheehy

How true is this statement? I don’t know that I have ever achieved growth by staying within my comfort zone. It is when I am forced, albeit sometimes kick and screaming, to move past my realm of familiarity and into the unknown that I amaze myself at my capabilities for growth.

This quote seems so appropriate at this moment in my life as I am leaving the 30 mile radius I have lived in my entire non-collegiate life. A friend of mine is moving to Tucson, Arizona, the end of July and wanted a roommate. I have always wanted to move beyond my current location. Granted, my original destination of choice was California—but Arizona will accomplish my goal of finding a new location to explore with an entire realm of outdoor activities at the same time.

My micro goal for growth on this new adventure? Find a job.

Anyone in Tucson need a talented young designer?
