Awareness is, to me, acknowledging where I have been, and where I am right now. You cannot map where you want to go unless you are sure of these two areas.
I am excited to have this opportunity to share with you some of the most important lessons I have learnt over the course of time. I have achieved this by following some of my greatest mentors that include Paul Martninell, Roddy Gilbraith and John Maxwell who have set me on this profound journey of Awareness and Personal Growth.
To discover our purpose and potential we need to GROW in the following areas. SELF AWARENESS, CHARACTER ,SKILLS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND SPIRITUALITY.
Let us see how, together, we can dive into this concept called SELF AWARENESS and PERSONAL GROWTH.
Awareness is, to me, discovering who I am, my strengths, weaknesses, interests, opportunities, values, principles, and beliefs. It is acknowledging where I have been, and where I am right now. You cannot map where you want to go unless you are sure of these two areas.
The word potential is full of possibilities, hope, and greatness. The question is do you have the potential? And my answer is a resounding YES! To get to your potential, you must know where you are currently and where you want to go. Without knowing these two, you are lost. In short, knowing yourself is like reading a map to determine where you are and which direction you want to take to get to your destination. Many of us do not believe that we have the potential to be who we want to be and to get what we desire. Then we end up with unfulfilled potential. And we blame society, our parents, teachers, bosses, spouses, children, president, weather, economy, etc.
It is clear that we must have the desire to reach our potential. And the road to take is that of AWARENESS that leads to personal GROWTH.And to grow we must be international. Which means we must have a plan and actions to take in order to realise this growth. We need to grow in self awareness. That will help us become better human beings as we relate to one another.
Whenever we discover any new area of growth the most important thing is to LEARN IT, LIVE IT, and LEAD IT.I discovered that growth can not happen by accident. And one can start growing at any stage of life. There is no finish line. It is an ” Infinite game” like one great speaker, Simon Sinek, calls it. It is a journey. Personal growth helps us discover our God – given potential to be the best we were created to be and achieve whatever our hearts desire. God or the Infinite source of our being gave each one of us that potential but we need to tap into it in order to enjoy all the great abundance that comes with it.
Our journey continues…..
