We don’t know about you, but we are continual learners. We are always looking to grow. We like to read and/or listen to various authors and speakers that discuss a wide array of topics in leadership and other arenas.
We recently listened to a John Maxwell podcast that asked the questions,
“Do you wake up feeling excited for the day?”
“Are you passionate about what you are doing in your life?”
“Are you growing?”
John Maxwell has been a motivational speaker and author for many years. He helps people make plans to become better. Just because we are busy, does not mean that we are going to grow as people. John wrote the book “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth” and this podcast was related to this topic.
When asked about this topic, some may respond that they just assume that they will grow; or maybe they do not know how to grow; or they are afraid to make mistakes; or some people feel uninspired or do not feel good enough. The reasons are many.
We have learned in life over the years of owning our own businesses and achieving other personal goals the words: INTENTIONAL and AWARENESS.
Make the most out of what you have been given. Do it now. Face your fears. Start today.
Are you aware of your passions? Your abilities? What drives you? Have you discovered your uniqueness?
To grow or improve in anything we must be intentional and also be in line with our passions and purposes in life. If you do not know what those are, we encourage you to take some time to think about it. Be honest with yourself. Sometimes just getting away for a few hours and being quiet will help you figure this out. Life is short. Let’s live it with purpose!
