There are many good reasons to pursue personal growth. For me, It has opened doors that appreciates my visions. It makes us better. It helps us achieve our career goals. Over time too, it creates momentum in our lives to keep running. That in turn encourages us to grow even more. We start to place a greater emphasis on growing than on arriving, which makes it easier to overcome and learn from our failures. I've seen many people focus on getting the success tag-name with growing through process, only to fall back to the ground of being schooled in the art of personal growth.
But all of those things pale in comparison to the most important reason to pursue growth: It increases hope. It teaches us that tomorrow can be better than today and that's why I'm so committed to inspire hope in all corners I can access through my organization, SprintLife. Here’s how:
1. A GROWTH MINDSET IS THE SEED OF HOPE
Hope looks forward.
When we have hope, we can imagine a better future. And hope isn’t just wishing for things that might be, it’s the firm belief in things that will be. It’s looking past your present circumstances with the belief that you have a positive future.
Planting the seed of hope is not complicated; it’s as simple as a change in mindset. When we decide to believe that growth is possible and we commit to pursuing it, hope begins to rise within us. The change in focus is only the first step, but it can be the beginning of a long and rewarding journey.
2. A GROWTH HABIT STRENGTHENS HOPE
Choosing to grow is important, but that decision is not enough to create change on its own. You need to acknowledge that growth is a gradual process and make that process part of your daily practice. That means we need to establish the habit of growing on a daily basis. I've grown practicing the words of my Father, Barr. Somina, "you become what you do daily".
When you practice the discipline of growing a little every day, you are doing your part to strengthen the hope inside of you. With each small step you take, you make progress toward improving yourself and your world.
I once heard it said that “there’s only so much you can do, but you must do that much even if you don’t know how much that is.” That is the same way growth works: When you grow, you put your future into motion. And with every step toward your positive future, hope is reinforced. The process becomes sustainable when you make growth a habit.
3. GROWTH SUSTAINABLE OVER TIME REALIZES HOPE
When we take small steps every day, over time we begin to see progress. If you put together enough days of consistent growth, you begin to change as a person. You become better, stronger, more skilled, or all of the above.
When you change yourself, you change your circumstances. This begins a positive cycle of your growth strengthening your hope, and your hope strengthening your growth.
When you do this week after week, month after month, year after year, you gradually move from hope imagined to hope realized.
This consistency is the secret of great men.
Put your name among those that will be carved into history as amongst the Great.
