Outgrow Your Tent

Hi There, My Empowered Friends:

A question I pose to myself today is

To what extent am I outgrowing my tent?

How about you?

Are you  outgrowing your tent.

What is “outgrowing your tent” anyway?

I see it as being when you grow so much as a person

that you feel ‘held back’ by your personal environment.

Sort of like when a caterpillar morphs into a butterfly.

For example:

When I coached Youth Soccer at the Club level I benefited from the efforts

of coaches Don Courtney and Bill DeMarco and their development of players from the

“B”-team who outgrew their tent.

For my part, my role was to develop club players to outgrow their tent and

compete at the district level or in the Olympic Development program.

I watched from the sidelines as High School Girl soccer players like Stephanie Fravel outgrew their tents to compete on boys teams.

In the Wold Of Music:

Did not Elvis outgrow his tent?


Did not Sting outgrow his “Police” tent?


Did not each of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison outgrow the “Beatles” tent?

Has not Madonna outgrown enough tents for the Red Cross to put her on their “most-wanted” list?

In Professional Soccer:

Did not their development into Global Brand “superstars” at Manchester United cause David Beckham, and , later, Christiano Ronaldo  to outgrow their tent?

In the World of Business:

Did not Art Williams and his team of 84, mostly High School Coaches, outgrow their tent when they took on the World’s largest industry and, instead,  represented and educated middle income America to wealth with their “buy term, invest the difference” crusade.

What about Muhammed Ali, Martin Luther King…

I humbly submit the truth of the Resurrection as another example of outgrowing the tent of the mortal body.

The list goes on…

For myself, I pray that I have tents yet to grow out of and into.

Is outgrowing your tent comfortable? HELL NO!
Is it natural? HELL YES!

And for you, my friend,

Can you feel your canvas stretching?
