How can you expedite personal growth in any season of your life?
Learning from our failure stories can be one of the most powerful habits we can create from the chapters of our life. We all want to elevate our personal growth from 1 – 10 in a few seconds, but learning how to map out accomplishments and adjustments you encounter requires curiosity and improvement measures.
Theses are the well-known 3 C’s of LIFE: Choices, Chances and Changes
In chasing one’s self-development, choices, chances and changes are included in the package. The results of one’s efforts become apparent in one’s knowledge and values.
The word lifelong is one we should become acquainted with, if we are to pursue personal growth. In a time when we have more to do and less time to do it in, we are always having to self-evaluate our progress if we learn how to be better at time management.
One key component to this is being mindful. Each day we are all presented with choices.
Do we take the chance?
Do we make the change?
- How many times have you spent your day thinking about the past ~ ruminating about how you wish you done this… or why didn’t I do that… if only?
- How many times have you spent your day thinking about the future ~ dreaming about if I had this I could do that… or my life would be so much better… or my life could be like that?
In his book See You At The Top, Zig Ziglar states ‘you are the only one who can use ability ~ it is an awesome responsibility’. He speaks of hope and optimism. His motivation is clear. He starts his book with ‘The End’. Only you can end ‘negativity’ in every sense that holds us prisoners…
He covers key questions such as… Why do we settle for less than we deserve or allow ourselves to be ‘influenced by little people with little minds thinking little thoughts about the trivia that is the stock and trace of Mr and Mrs Mediocrity? Why have we stopped believing in ourselves? Why have we created barriers to our own success? Why have we missed the present? And sped past this moment that will never return…
Slash the negativity
- Open your mind to new opportunities…
- Arouse your imagination to endless possibilities…
- Do what you have always wanted to do…
- Have a plan for every area of your life you want to succeed in…
- Associate with innovative and creative influences…
- Become the best at what you do…
In Using Mindfulness Skills in Everyday Life by Christine Dundley and Maggie Stanton, live your life being mindful of everything. That means not reacting automatically. Or getting caught up in the story our mind is telling us about our experiences.
Learning mindfulness as a skill is not struggling with your mind but bringing your thoughts back to what you want to focus on as many times as you can…
To make the change you long for. Consider each moment as a gift. Act with wisdom. Think with a winning mentality. As Zig Ziglar states ‘You were born to win’.
Don’t know where to start? Practice makes perfect and you only get one chance to be the best version of yourself! Now is the time to invest in being you. Infuse every moment with beauty. Influence every God-given dream into your destiny. And impress your tomorrow with hope and expectancy. Join me on a journey where the sky is the limit. To find an undying passion for living in the centre of God’s will!
