Personal Growth - Understanding Yourself Better!!

Last week, I was lucky enough to travel to Canada on
business.........And boy was it cold over there!! I was walking
the streets with a huge overcoat on with scarf and gloves and a
wooly hat , and still the cold wind was unbearable. Still everyone
was very friendly and full of Halloween Cheer.

I feel very blessed to be able to travel the world due to my
business and have experienced many wonderful Cultures and Religions
and have met some amazing people on my journey. I have also
witnessed some very distressing sights , for example penniless
children in India begging for money........A very heart wrenching
sight and something that lives with you forever. It does, however,
make you appreciate what you have in your own life and to be
respectful of others and to grab and cherish each and every day!!!


When it comes to personal growth, there are no specific formulas
that you can follow in order to achieve success. As every person
differs, so does their personal goals and priorities. There are
also varying strengths and weaknesses that are consequent to an
individual's personality. However, there are basic steps that can
lead to a more successful and fulfilling personal growth.

Start From Within Yourself

The key to personal growth is evaluating yourself first. Getting
acquainted with yourself is the first step towards achieving
personal success. When people hear of others' success story, they
instantly apply it on themselves only to realize that it failed to
deliver.

In your efforts for personal change, focus on improving that
self-awareness. Determine at what point of your life you are right
now and how far (or near) it is from where you want to be. Then,
you can devise ways to further your efforts toward personal growth
and success.

Work On Your Attitude

One way of improving your attitude, whether in your personal life
or working relationships, is determining your strengths and
weaknesses. This will enable you to become more effective in
dealing with society and all the others who inhabit it. When you
are able to work harmoniously with people around you, it also
increases your level of esteem. Consequently, you are not only
effective in your working relationship but also assisted in your
efforts for personal growth.

Regardless of your current state, your attitude will provide the
means to achieve whatever goals you have set for yourself. Whether
you improve your attitude through professional counseling or
through support from your family, friends, or co-workers, it will
certainly boost your emotional health and create positive mental
habits.

A positive attitude is not just fundamental in your business'
success but also creates a more holistic individual.

Tools for Personal Growth

As much as humans never ceasing growing physically, one should
continually strive for personal growth at every opportunity as
well. Change is not enough to say that you achieve personal growth.
It is a mindset that enables you to surpass the everyday struggles
and remain on the positive side. Here are ways to get out of a
crisis and continue aiming for continued growth:

1.Do not dwell on the negative. Instead, focus on what you can do
to improve your current situation.

2.Live a healthy lifestyle. Improving the state of your health
caters for a more healthier outlook in life. Your physical and
mental being should always couple each other. Therefore, you have
to make a conscious effort to watch what you eat or drink and lead
a healthy lifestyle.

3.Determine your purpose in life. Once you have done this, you are
able to focus your energy on more essential activities that will
bring fulfillment to your life.

4.Have fun. No matter what you are doing or what choices you make
in life, just learn how to enjoy yourself. Aside from the fact that
it takes the burden off your shoulder, you can use this as a
motivation when faced with obstacles you need to overcome.

5.Set personal goals. In business, it is often said that you need
to create personal goals aside from your business goals. It enables
you to stay motivated despite of the hardships that you need to
face. Meanwhile, it also provides a higher level of fulfillment
once you have achieved those goals. Lastly, goals enable you to
determine on which direction to aim, or what steps to take to be
able to further your efforts toward personal growth and success.
