As We Stretch We Strengthen
The process of being strengthened is like many things in life - we want it, but not what it takes to get it. We can see it lifting weights, training for a marathon, playing a sport or learning how to communicate. No matter what the target is, gaining strength will have a proportional amount of pain. Yet, no matter what our area of strengthening is, we all now have some level of awareness that pain equals growth. The longer we are on the earth, we come to a familiar love/hate relationship with the pain because we know intuitively what it means. In the pursuit of being a well | rooted leader the process is no different.

Deeper Roots
Stop and take a real personal inventory - are you a person who historically started things and had a hard time finishing them?
Do you find yourself hyped on something or energized about an area of life you know you want to change, but as quickly as you start it you fizzle out?
What is your process for counting the cost of what it will take to achieve and/or move towards the strengthening chapter of your story?
As you read the idea of pain associated with gaining strength, what is your initial reaction?
Are you a person who is pain adverse or are you someone who seeks out the pain?
