I wish I knew 20 years ago what I know now.
Most people think personal growth is all about hard skills and professional milestones.
They’re missing a critical component: EXPOSURE.
Here’s why:
➡️ Reflection: The more you’re exposed to new ideas and environments, the better you understand yourself and the world around you.
➡️ Approach: Exposure shapes how you tackle problems, plan projects, and interact with others.
➡️ Consistency: Frequent exposure to diverse situations fosters adaptability and resilience.
Travel has been my greatest teacher. It’s not just about sightseeing—it’s about immersing yourself in different cultures, connecting with strangers, and stepping outside your comfort zone.
Our ancestors weren’t just wandering; they were expanding their mental and emotional boundaries. Today, we call it vacationing, but the essence remains the same: Grow by going.
So, pack your bags—whether for a pilgrimage or a beach getaway. The road less traveled is where you find the best version of yourself.
Have you found personal growth in unexpected places? Where has travel taken you, both literally and figuratively?
