How To Keep Growing

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

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.’

3 Things To Do When You Fail

Who is perfect? Are you? If no one is perfect, then we can’t avoid mistakes. We can’t avoid failures.

Failures are lessons. They are not roadblocks. If you pay attention to what you are doing, why you are not getting it right, you can learn a lot from failure.

‘Don’t play the blame-and-shame game- just prove your critics wrong.’

Do not let failure stop you from doing what you love to do. To move forward, you must take risks.

You must, according to George Beahm, ‘Reinvent yourself.’ If what you are doing is not working, do not stop there. Do not stop there. Find something else and do it. Do not stop living your life. Do not limit yourself to just one thing. No, you can do a lot more than you think you can do. Why not give it a shot?

‘Learn from your mistakes, and constantly work to improve your life.’

When you fail at something, it does not matter what it is, according to George Beahm, ‘Don’t play the blame-and-shame game- just prove your critics wrong.’ You do that by working harder than you have ever done in the past. Do not do it to shame others. Do it to improve yourself. Because you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your failures. When you fail, instead of blaming other people, take full responsibility for your life.

And when you fail, all you need to do is to step up your game. Do what George says. ‘Do great work.’ When you ‘do great work’, great things will come to you. And you will ‘start living’ your real life.
