Comfort can Hinder Growth
Surround yourself with people and influences that encourage your growth journey. People who will challenge and support you, in getting out of your comfort zone. Cultivate habits that align with your growth goals. Remember, your actions are the foundations upon which your personal development stands.
Leading Yourself First
When you develop a certain mindset, you can be contained and limited by it. Becoming self-aware of anything that may hinder you in your progress is important. In leadership it is more important, because the genuine you always shows up.
Accelerate your Growth
When you are exposed to situations that are different and more accelerated than your normal rhythms you don’t really know how you will respond to them. This is what accelerated growth can be like. Unless you push yourself into situations that you are not familiar with you will never experience the correlating growth dynamic.

Enlightened by Different Perspectives
Near to where I live there is a large range. As the sun moves from morning to evening, it illuminates the range in different ways and exposes its different perspectives. The light effects enhance and highlight the peak forms and exposes the shadows of the gullies as it moves across the range face. You can look at the same range at different times of the day and it translates very differently. The same mountain range displays different perspectives based on the changing dynamics. Changing the dynamics of your environment will help you see new perspectives.
Become Passionate About Growing Others
When you are growing and nurturing a plant there are many things you will consider to ensure that the plant is successful in its growth journey. They are things like, location, soil, nutrition, shelter, and support. All these factors are taken into consideration based on the plant type, maturity, condition, and needs. If the plant doesn’t receive the attention it needs, it will most certainly fail, especially when it is young or in its early stages. This is certainly similar to helping others with personal growth.
The Power of Encouragement.
It is a known fact that when Canadian geese fly that their honking is a form of encouragement to other geese during long flights. Flying long distances requires considerable energy, and the honking can serve as a form of mutual support. It helps geese maintain motivation and stamina during challenging flights. Encouragement matters, when you encourage someone, you uplift them and inspire hope.
Understanding your value.
It is unfortunate that most people don't really understand the value they offer. I mean real value. Value is often measured on what we do, how we do it and what we think people want or expect from us. This orientation of our value becomes problematic because we lose confidence in who we are when our real value is mis-aligned with what we are doing.
Visualise a better version of you.
A picture paints a thousand words. Visual perspective is really important to us as a form of communication, inspiration, and perspective. Daily we are bombarded with visual messages that are all bidding for our attention. Marketers work hard in attaching products and services to things that are attractive emotional stimuli for us. Are these the images that help you be your best?
Mindfulness; What’s around you?
“Aware of your surroundings”. The environments that you allow yourself to be in will shape your thoughts and how you feel. If you continue to be in a supportive environment, you will become a supportive person, equally if you are regularly in a destructive environment, you will start to become destructive.
Running out of time!
“I’m out of time”, we have all probably said this or heard others say it. Time is a resource that we decide on how to use it best. This being the case, why do we end up running out of it?
What’s that? Looks can be deceiving
It’s only an illusion. You don’t need to go to a magic show to see an illusion, you just need to look at your phone or take a walk down the street. Daily our minds are filled with images that are filtered, touched up, or graphically imposed to make us think something else about what we believe and are actually seeing
Slow down: Take the long road
Faster is not always better; We can become easily deceived by the notion that the main route to a destination is the fastest way to get to where we are going. Often it isn’t, because it is conditional on a lot of other factors like too much traffic, road works or bad weather. Life can feel the same sometimes.
