PERSONAL GROWTH  

WHAT

HOW?

WHY?

Let us see some of the highlights on the above questions. 

Normally the personal growth is associated with the personal goals of an individuals or a group. Growth is depending on individual’s attitude, behavior and approach. 04/08/2023 3

WHAT

When you want to grow, clear goals are required to be set before action. Goals are

normally set in the following areas

 

1.   Career goals are determined based on your current and future academic background, aptitude towards functions

2.   Family goals are determined by the family culture, tradition and values under the guidance of successful family people

3.   Financial goals- Practically there are no limits to reach financial prosperities.

The formula is Current earnings+ Expecting income – Investment= Net income or Disposable income.

4.   Spiritual goals - Universe: Uni =One. Verse=Song. Universe=One Song.

One Song heard by all throughout the entirety of existence. One Song. One Message to all. I feel that message is Love. Love knows no religion. Love knows no nationality or country border. Love is Love.

How

Planning: The top priority for any activity is PLANNING. Hence planning precedes all other functions.  

Education: To achieve on our personal life the education plays a vital role. learning process should never end in once life.

Growth : A+E+E = L i.e. Age+ Education + Experience = Life Growth. Skills : In the current scenario updating ones knowledge in the relevant areas can

help you to develop your skills. Success Model : Take the tips of successful personalities on their trait and their

habits. Risks : Risk takers are always reward getters. One should always take calculated

risk in their life. Opportunities: Whenever there is an opportunity knocks at your door in the

personal/official life we should embrace it immediately. opportunities once lost cannot be gained.

Network : PR+HR=Result. I.e. Personal relation and Human relation will definitely fetch positive results in all endeavors.

WHY

Why improve at all ? We are born. We die. Everything else shares the same fate. Then why this struggle to improve?

What is the use? Expectations can only lead to misery if we don’t achieve. Why not just lead a life of no expectations and see what happens?

You don’t have to set goals? or strive to better yourself. Personal growth is a conscious choice, one that is entirely up to you.

What is the meaning of life? The purpose of my life is to grow and to help others to grow.

What Should be Your Attitude? My attitude is that being able to grow year after year is the greatest adventure anyone could ever hope for .

What is Growth? Growth certainly involves both pain and pleasure, but the pain only sweetens the pleasure there is nothing inherently wrong with leading a life expecting nothing.

Why are you Born? If you don’t want anything out of life, then why are you here in this World .

Don’t allow your mind to be idle . Always remember the proverb “ Idle mind is devils workshop ”.

Have more human relationship, then being lonely .

Do your work with all your heart, whatever work you do and try to master it.

Work on your weaker areas continuously , one day it will be your strength.

Try to spend more time with children and have child like character .

Always thing and work on your future goals.

Try to help others , Life basic principle is to grow and help others grow

Instead of getting more , start giving more who are in need , there is joy in giving . 04/08/2023 46

How to overcome depression

Depression and anxiety is a result of false expectation of what life “should“ be .

Don’t lust on others property , it will only lead you to depression .

If you thing whatever others have , you can be happy , no not at all .

Don’t thing if you have lots of Money , many cars, bungalows, 100 sets of shoes , 1000 of dresses and Gold ornaments in kilo grams you can be happy, go and ask personally those who has all these but still empty inside .

Happiness comes from within (your behavior , attitude , good habits … etc) not from outside (material ) things

Know yourself , Love yourself , try to enjoy life with what you have today, a day lost is never got back .

Have long term goals and try to achieve it, you will be happy once you achieve it , don’t have to many goals .

Don’t be fully occupied with your work, Give some time for your family and friends , have a balance life .
