Growing pains

Stretching is hard, isn't it?

Meeting your January resolutions, starting to run again, going to your exercise class or growing a business. 

Whatever it is you're trying to do, you have to stretch for a bit and hurt and then relax and then (hopefully) stretch again.

When I started in our little bungalow in 2008, there were four of us, and yet again, this month, we'll go above 50 (We ebb and flow around that area at the moment) but are just about to head towards 80 in the next three years. 

The problem with stretching and growing like this is that every time you get to another level, you have to be a different person in order to stay there.

So once you get fitter and if you want to retain your fitness, then your schedule has to do that; it has to fit the fitness in that you have to do to retain the level you've got to, or you slip back and the growing pains were wasted.

It's the same with dieting and lifestyle eating.

It's the same with building a business.

When we got to 25, it was entirely different. My job was altogether different, and now we've got to 50, it's totally different again - a world apart, and if we go a lot bigger than this, it will be entirely different again.

This is not to say that it's a good thing and can't go on forever (I will die at some point). 

It's just a thing that you have to accept and stare right in the face if you want to be better if you want to do better things if you want to get to another place.
