"Maybe growth isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you ask for. You bring your own shark."
When I wrote this line, I was thinking about how often we wait for growth to just happen. We wait for the right opportunity, the right timing, or the right push from outside. But in reality, growth usually comes when we choose to step into challenge.
The “shark” is my way of describing that challenge. Sharks create urgency. They keep you moving. Without one, it’s easy to get comfortable and stay in the same place. But when you put the right shark in your tank, you find yourself swimming faster, thinking clearer, and discovering strengths you didn’t know you had.
For some, the shark might be a bold career move. For others, it’s pushing through fear, taking on responsibility, or committing to a personal change. The form doesn’t matter. What matters is that you choose it instead of waiting for it to choose you.
That’s what this quote is about: taking ownership of your growth by inviting the right challenges into your life.
