Successful personal growth often requires up-level training. Change is uncomfortable. Especially changing trainers, coaches, groups, teams or teachers. More especially when we’ve outgrown their ability to help us. However, if we don’t chose to move up we will simply move forward at the same level of existence, or worse, regress.

I recently had to make such a decision. While I am thankful for the progress made over the past few months with a certain coach, it became obvious they are not equipped to take me to the next level. Having to deal with this change reminded me of how difficult it can be for some people to put themselves first.

Personal growth and up-leveling are a priority in my life. I believe God has a purpose for every inspiration given, but each of us has the responsibility to carry out the steps required to get to our highest level in each idea we receive. That belief makes it easier for me to cut-ties when the season of growth has ended with someone.

God is glorified in the fruit of our lives. Up-leveling yourself, is not selfish. When you feel the urge to make a change in your circle but chose not to, you potentially undermine God’s plans for your life as well as others. Following your purpose won’t always be easy. You can’t please everyone or take everyone with you.

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and level up.
