Personal GrowthTuesday, January 5, 2016

Personal growth never happens accidentally. It happens on purpose, as the result of a series of important decisions.

What kind of decisions are we talking about?

Here are just a few to help get you started on the right track:

1. Make a commitment to change. The very idea of growth implies not staying where you are.
2. Focus on your strengths. Instead of becoming preoccupied with your weakness, focus on what you do well and strive to excel in those areas.
3. Put yourself in a growth environment. You can’t grow in an environment that doesn’t sustain life. Make it a point to be around people and experiences that challenge you and bring out the best in you.
4. Learn to enjoy the journey. Keep in mind that growth is a lifelong process, not a one-time event. You’ll never “arrive” or reach the point where there is nothing new that you can possibly learn or achieve.

Remember that if something isn’t growing, it’s in the process of dying. I encourage you to keep your dreams and visions alive by making personal growth a lifestyle for yourself and by creating an environment for growth in your workplace.
