Some of us grow through trials and experience, others through good example, and still others still seem to grow by accident. There is a better and more balanced way to grow, and that is through a comprehensive plan.

The elements of healthy GROWTH environment are as follows:

GRACE	Receiving from God & other people what you can't provide yourself.
RELATIONSHIPS	Connecting meaningfully in healthy relationships.
OWNERSHIP	Recognising my part to play in growth.
WISDOM	Hearing and applying truth to our life.
TIME	Allowing the process of growth to happen gradually.
HEALTH	Assessing progress and maintaining balance.
