How To Keep Growing

Growth never stops. It is a journey. If you want to keep growing, you must keep doing.

You must keep becoming. You must keep challenging yourself. Because we get better when we do more, when we focus on what is really important to us.

Do things that you have not done before. That is where learning is.

Do not settle for less. Doing less is not a strategy. It is going to keep you where you are.

To grow yourself, to expand your life, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘ … always aim slightly beyond your current abilities. … Focus on the metaskills that will drive your professional success.’

And you can do that. All you need is focus. When you focus on what you are doing, you can do more than you are doing right now.

Just get out of your safe zone. Take on things that are not within your safe zone. If you really want to get to your next level, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘take on projects and responsibilities that lie outside your comfort zone.’

What You Need To Do To Deal With Your Fears

What are you really afraid of? Whatever it is that you have been ignoring in your life, the best way to deal with it is to face it.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to face your fears?’

According to Helene Lerner, ‘To address your fear, examine the worst-case scenario if you were to take action. That scenario probably won’t happen, so commit to taking one action toward handling the situation.’

You must take action to deal with your fears. Remember, problems don’t fix themselves.

To enjoy your life, fix your problems. Deal with your problems. Do not wait to get everything right before you start doing your work.

The best time to start doing your work is now, not tomorrow.
