Growth doesn’t come looking for me so I have to be proactive. – John Maxwell
If growth is your goal,
you will eventually far surpass any goal you can conceive of standing where you
are now. – Darren Hardy
Last week, this author discussed developing a personal
growth plan, which is a systematic plan for how the reader intentionally plans
to grow.
The author has not written a plan, but when she reviewed
her 2023 goals, she noticed she was specific in the areas she wanted to learn
and grow in this year. Additionally, she remembered that she is focusing on four
areas this year in life including prioritization, solitude, communication, and
energy.
Maxwell says that one needs to be specific and limit
the areas the reader wants to grow in. The author struggles with this idea. In
the author’s opinion, she should be a well-rounded individual and have diverse
knowledge about various areas. Limiting her knowledge to a few areas concerns
the author as she thinks she will be hindered in life. Even with her concerns,
the author decided that she had to focus on fewer topics to accomplish her dreams
and goals. Learning about an area the author is not strong in such as science will not affect the long-term
goals of the author.
ACTION: Last week, the author challenged the reader to
determine what areas he/she needed to grow in to accomplish their
goals/dreams/purpose. What areas will you limit yourself to learn and grow
in? How does it make you feel to be intentional in your learning? How
will you overcome any negative feelings?
