As we get older a lot of things change that aren’t always within our control and I see a lot of people just get ‘stuck’ with where they are at in life - writes Coach Sean.
But the good news is no matter what stage of life we are in will always have the ability to grow as people.
I love the saying little by little, little becomes a lot, I preach it a lot to my clients and it is something I try to embrace and live by to help me grow as a person. As personal growth is something I have really come to value and thoroughly enjoy the rewards that come from just trying to be a little bit better.
I believe personal growth is so important because it gives us the tools to adapt and thrive in an ever changing world. If you want life to get better as you get older, you’ll need to become a better version of yourself. Simple.
The importance of growth goes far beyond just trying to polish our ego. It’s vital if you want to live a happy life. It’s also the key to success in every single area of the human experience.
Personal growth is important if you want to have:
-Healthy, loving relationships with yourself and others
-A baseline of happiness, positivity, and wellbeing
-Greater resilience
-Career success
-Long-term financial success
-Motivation and productivity
There’s nothing more important than your growth as a person.
But how do you start?
Keep the changes you make simple, for example you might aim to go to the gym an extra day per week, or read 5 pages of a book every day, start a new sport or a mindfulness practice. These are small changes that can lead to a snowball effect of changes for you down the track.
For me personally reading more has led to my biggest growth over the last few years in business, in life, it has allowed me to think differently which has in turn led to more and more growth opportunities.
Nothing in life is ever fixed, you just need to find the tools to help you grow and little by little you will.
