Personal Growth Means Change

I recently mourned the death of one of my buddies.

As I listened to the great comments made by so many others as to the kind of person he was, and the life he had lead, I stopped for a moment to look inside myself to see who I am.

I realized that there is enormous room for growth in my life.

Is there room for improvement in your life?

Let us take a moment to learn how we can grow to become the person we hope and have the potential to be.

We all want to be the best that we can be.

We sometimes see others and admire certain characteristic traits about them.

We have read volumes of self-help books in hopes of fine tuning ourselves.

True many of these books help but self-growth goes way beyond reading books.

It means we must stop wishing for change and becomes proactive in creating the change.

Self-growth or personal growth is about change and the change begins with us.

In order for change to take place within you, you must first define your objectives.

Know what changes you want to make.

You are aware of the qualities you want to throw out of your life.

Here’s an idea write them down.

Here are some ways to begin to do some introspective work to help you to define the changes you want to make in your life.

Make a list of some habits you wanted to change
Do you know how you are seem?
Try to get a feel of how others think of you.
Make a note of how you want to be seem and how to can change your behavior to achieve that
Make mental notes of how you treat others.
Do you walk away feeling good that you have treated that person you met fairly.
Do you feel good when you walk away?
Think back to criticisms you have received in the past.
Do you think there may have been just some little truth to them?
Are you objective enough to see the true you?
Speak to an objective friend or family member you trust to be fair and honest with you.
Get some feedback on how you are seen
Look at the behaviors of those you admire and note them down.
Do you see those same characteristics in you?
Make a note of behaviors you see in others that you dislike and look within to see if you share any of those traits.
Try to be objective.
Make a list of the ones you want to change

So now with these notes its time to do something – I’m talking about taking action !!!
