A huge part in personal growth and development is becoming a person of good character. So, ‘Be truthful in all you do. Be loving to all you meet. Be kind in all you share. Be humble for all you have. Be happy in all your circumstances. Be the kind of person that people can look up to! Be yourself!’ (T.Wiehahn) As we grow in character, we ‘Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you to where you want to go, no one else.’ (L.Brown) We cannot blame others for our lack of growth, we need to own it fully. Are you the kind of person you want to be today? Join me in working towards that changed character.

Apply-n-Do: Idea #513
Do you have a dream or an idea? What are you doing with that idea? ‘Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.’ (J.Goethe) Just knowing what we want to achieve doesn’t get us there, it requires action on our part. That’s that hard part. And sometimes that means we need to look at changing ourselves. ‘The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.’ (M.DePree) Are we willing to give up what we are currently to become what we could be? Join me in giving that a shot.

Environment: Idea #512
What type of environment do we need in order to grow? It is said that ‘growth thrives in conducive surroundings. If we want to experience personal growth, we must evaluate our environment and make the changes that support our growth goals. The things around us affect what’s going on inside of us, and growth will only happen when we make it welcome. So, how do we make growth welcome? A growth environment is a place where…
– Others are ahead of you.
– You are continually challenged.
– Your focus is forward.
– The atmosphere is affirming.
– You are out of your comfort zone.
– You wake up excited.
– Failure is not your enemy.
– Others are growing.
– People desire change.
– Growth is modeled for you and expected of you.
These characteristics combine into just the right mix of challenge and support to foster your development. They are the perfect recipe for growth!’ (J.Maxwell) Are you currently in this environment, or do you need to make a move?Thanks for joining me on my daily learning experience!
