9 And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, (Philippians 1:9 CSB)

Life is about growth. Otherwise we are stagnating.

Much like a body of water grow stagnant without movement, we too must keep our minds and bodies in motion.

When we do our growth will allow us to continually challenge ourselves. Without some form of challenge life becomes simply routine and boring routine leads to us actually moving backward.

Rest is surely needed. So there is a balance that we must strike so that our times of growth are interspersed with times of rest. All of one or the other can cause stress.

Choose to grow.
