This morning I was reflecting on what it takes to have Explosive Personal Growth, as Dan Rockwell calls it.

He suggests this happens when we are willing to put ourselves "out there". When we haven't tested ourselves yet, but we know the benefit this test will bring- although frightening- will be freeing.

Rockwell claims getting used to discomfort is the key to explosive growth. How do we recognize when our growth is exploding?
