I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. –Abraham Lincoln

Regardless of what today may bring, we each have the capacity to learn from it. It could be the worst of days; it could be the best of days. And in each case, the opportunity to grow is available to us all.

Yet, not everyone does so. So why do some grow, and some don’t?

The answer has nothing to do with how smart we are, or what skills we do or do not have. Rather, it all comes down to desire. Do we actually want to grow? Because if we do, each day provides countless opportunities for anyone looking for them.
