GROW

- People don't reject opportunities because they aren't great but rather based on their capacity and room to accommodate them.

- 'Who switched off my brains', says in the book that a mind stretched can't go back to its initial state.

- Exposure and stretching, capacity is something we need to build.

- There is always room for growth if and when we are willing to stretch out.

Matthew 6:33
