Scared to grow, or Scared too grow.

Scared to grow, or scared too grow, seem to have two different meanings. It can mean that we are scared to grow, or that to grow we must be scared into growing .

What an interesting concept. Not that it is new by any stretch of the imagination. I am just fascinated by the semantics of the whole phrase. One keeps us held back and the other pushes us forward. Fear being the common denominator. A real dichotomy if you will. Growth forward or backwards is still growth I guess. But is backwards growth still growth? Can positive growth still be obtained while receding?..... Direction may not be as important as the outcome, and the knowledge gained. I sure hope!
