Keep Growing!
Nature never stops, it doesn’t worry about yesterday, or tomorrow. We tame nature, house plants, pets, but what do we learn?
Personal development is a fundamental key to success in life. Regardless of the adversity and challenges we face on a daily basis, we need to keep growing and taking steps towards our own achievements. Here are a few tips for maintaining a positive perspective:
Keep your mind set to the goal, but don’t forget it’s a marathon, not a sprint. You can’t reach the end of a ten kilometre marathon, without taking 10,000 one meter strides. Each step forward is tactile success, and one less that you need to reach the end.
Run your own race: Don’t compare or try and match pace with anyone else. Have clear goals, make a couple plans, and start moving with one. Avoid getting stuck in the planning stage.
Defeat isn’t failure, because the difference between failure and success: Is getting back up again. Failure is giving up, never give up on yourself, you’re the only you, you have.
What can be done tomorrow, can be done today. Procrastination is common: “one more episode”, “One more round in my game”, “Just 10 more minutes on <insert social media>”. Stop letting yourself be distracted.
Bad things happen and that’s O.K. With every challenge, struggle or defeat: Take some time, even 5 minutes, and analyse the piece of gold in the mud of the situation. Nothing is wasted, every experience, will give you a nugget of knowledge; that no one can take from you. It’s invaluable.
In a society that is too fast paced; we forget sometimes that we have the choice on what we choose to spend our time on. An acorn, eventually becomes an oak tree, just keep growing!
