A Lifelong Requirement for Your Relationship Journey
The potential of man and woman is limitless. We have been placed in a world of abundance. There is opportunity around every corner, and by making the right choices, you can’t fail. Unfortunately, it is a fact that a great many people are unhappy in their relationships and their jobs. They go to work every day out of necessity, not because it is interesting or challenging. Each day they spend eight hours in misery with no room for personal growth. Personal success is only a flicker, and the fire is never able to ignite. This human trait flickers first, then waits for the right moment to become a blazing inferno, but the success challenges may be quenched in favor of family safety and security. The desire to succeed has to be a daily focus. There is a breed of unsettled people who strive for personal success and fulfillment. They strive for excellence in plotting their own course. They are an energized movement of movers and shakers and self-motivators who are always tuned in and turned on. They cut their teeth on challenging electronic games and computers. And they appreciate the opportunity and abundance that is provided for them. In their energized world there is no fear of success or failure. They live life to its fullest because in their hearts they know they are backed by infallible principles and laws. They’re not afraid to show a mighty driving force. Their reward is a result of, and not a means to, how well they played the game. It’s not the benefits they seek, but the rush of the challenge.
The promise of promotions and recognition doesn’t mean anything to these people; in fact they are more apt to move on because there is no stimulus for higher achievement. These are the people who climb mountains, race cars, and jump from airplanes. Success is not an option but a necessity. Some surrounding media contains negative influences at every turn, discouraging personal growth. Even though society stifles differences or anything not understood, people who know who they are aren’t afraid of life, and disregard negative manipulation. These people are self-assured and do not cave in to the pressure of those who would see them fail.
Self-assured people face life on the assumption that they will be successful. There is no maybe or perhaps—only doing. They know they must be precise in formulating a plan for success by acquiring knowledge and becoming as professional as possible and being persistent. They realize this is the price to be paid and are willing to pay it. They develop a desire that becomes the fuel that drives them toward better things and becoming well balance in their life’s functioning. Their family, religion, and the financial, social and physical parts of their lives are balanced for continued growth. Like any living, growing thing, they know they must be in balance for optimum result. Focused thinking and setting goals means there are proper procedures that must be adhered to. Successful people also know that there are requirements and procedures to follow for successful personal growth. The groundwork must be laid before a firm foundation can be built, like a blueprint for building a house. A blueprint for personal growth must also be drawn up. Without a blueprint or guide, success is only wishful thinking and not responsible action.
An organized plan for personal success requires learning certain basics. A concise formula can be devised and implemented that will lead a person, step by step, to success. It would not be rational to think that there is only one formula that fits everyone. Self-motivation is self-induced, and there are no guarantees for sustaining its endurance.
The fact is, no one can work at full capacity every hour of every day. In doing so, life would become an endless cycle of active periods broken with occasional rest periods. It is more desirable to maintain a balanced, structured approach to a work schedule with each action directed toward a final outcome. Through planning and sticking to your plan, you can minimize nonproductive time that might threaten to undermine your success. Truly, the more active you are, the more you want to get active, because it’s human nature to be creative. When people aren’t creative, they tend to lose some self-esteem, and lower self-esteem increases the chances for failure. The potential for success lies within you. You are the ultimate factor: no excuses, no recourse. You make it happen God, man, your mama—none of them will do it for you. You have to take advantage of the abundance that surrounds you. By making intelligent, calculated choices you can maximize your success.
The reason most people don’t achieve success if that they don’t have a clear, defined concept of exactly what success is in the first place. They won’t take that first step because they don’t know which direction to take; that’s why most people opt to work for someone else. They simply don’t want to deal with making decisions and they don’t know how to plan. Personal growth affects every aspect of your life. As we evolve, we go through different stages of growth, and our growth process. From birth we learn to fulfill our most basic needs. As adults, we must learn to fulfill our higher needs—that is, we must discover our inner ability to fulfill all our adult needs.
Successful people are those who understood that personal growth is more than possessions and money. People who think that personal growth is more than possessions and money. People who think that personal growth is gauged by material wealth couldn’t be more wrong. Successful people also give back. Success is fulfillment, happiness, and having meaningful and loving relationships. This necessitates balance, which increases fulfillment. Everyone has the potential to achieve their worthwhile, predetermined goals by simply planning to do so. There is one major thing that blocks our personal growth, and that is the stress that gets stored in our nervous system and our beliefs. Once we understand the value of personal growth and start to focus our attention on it, we must find a process for releasing the built-up stress that gets stored in our nervous system as children. As the stress is released, our awareness expands and we are able to see different possibilities.
We can change some of the old beliefs that have kept us from making the progress we dreamed for as kids. Personal growth is what an unlimited future is all about. Everyone must discover or create a process for releasing stress and strengthening their nervous system. The process may include breathing exercises, yoga, exercise, meditation, or focusing techniques. It is important that you work on the process daily. You must start from where you are today, and you will grow. As this personal growth takes place, your life will begin to improve and continue to improve as you move through higher and higher levels of growth. Also, there are some laws of nature or principles is the law of attraction. This principle is always working, something like gravity. We attract to ourselves whatever we believe in and project to the world. Consequently, our beliefs in limitation will block our personal growth. And remember, your personal growth stops only when you die.
