You have probably heard of such a thing as personal growth. Often, this expression is associated with another word – self-development. We can say that personal growth is the development of independent internal qualities, the constant desire to improve your self-esteem.
How to achieve this growth? What restrains your personal growth? You will find answers to these and other issues in this article.
Delay
Do not you think that we are thinking the way too much? We always ponder and think over "What if ..." instead of doing it. In lieu of a step in the right direction we still are trying to predict and foresee everything.
All you have to do is to go as far as you can see, and when you get to that point, you will be able to see further.
Long-distance plans are unnecessary and often lead to delusive expectations. Anyway, everything will be different than we have planned. Why would not you reject fears and trust your fate? Fate always knows the easiest and shortest way to achieve our goals.
Therefore, everything comes down to the steps:
- Set the destination (formulate your clear goals);
- Trust in life (accept installation that everything goes as it should);
- Take actions, catching those signs which life sends you.
Accusation
The habit of blaming everyone and everything for your failures but not yourself is another huge obstacle to personal growth. People who do not succeed in life, always ready to present a list of reasons why they are where they are. It is much easier to find the cause of their problems in the outside world than inside themselves.
The thing is that we are where we are just because we want it to be in this place. Nothing can force us to feel sick, ill-fated or unhappy without our consent. Resentment, frustration and self-pity: these are not what you need from life.
The road to freedom lies through the responsibility, which is why so many people are afraid of it. To stop blaming everyone for your misfortune means to take full responsibility for what happens in your life. This radically changes everything. You cease to be a victim of circumstances and become the owner of your life, which inevitably leads to higher consciousness and inner energy. You leave the fears because you begin to build your future.
Exculpation
When we are justifying, it means that we feel guilty of something. Exculpation is inextricably linked with the accusation. It is the third obstacle for our personal growth.
When you do the best that you can, you have no excuses for that. If you still think that you was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place, it is time to start looking for not reasons but opportunities. Nothing will change as long as you do not change yourself.
Each of us has an inexhaustible source of hidden opportunities, but deceptive belief and fear of change led people to forget about it. Let your main question to be "How can I do this?" and not just "Can I do this?"
