Importance of relevance

There is a saying that if you are not growing, you are dying. That means that there is no “middle ground“. You are either moving up or moving down, forward or backward, there is always movemen. Now that we have established that you are moving one way or another, the main question now is are you growing or are you dying?

If the answer to that question is that you don’t know, then I am afraid you are moving downward. The thing is, not being deliberate about your growth means you are offering yourself a disservice in as far as relevance is concerned. Staying relevant for me is being the on the top end of whatever you are focusing your relevance on. It could be team, it could be department, it could be an industry it could be a sport.

Those that are relevant play musical chairs amongst themselves on whatever area they operate in. In corporate they move around positions, in sports, they always get selected. So continue to grow in order to stay relevant. growing doesn’t mean that you are relevant at that particular time, but means that you are heading in the right direction in your quest to relevance. keep growing everyday. It will soon make sense.
