Grow Where You Are Planted

A lesson on personal development

February 5, 2020

Creating a better "ME".... If I am willing to pay close attention, situations and circumstances have a way of providing growth opportunities. Google defines personal development as the conscious pursuit of personal growth by expanding self-awareness and knowledge and improving personal skills.

Preparation. Determination. Education. These words provide focus and direction when working towards creating a better "ME". This includes being honest with myself (self-awareness), working to address personal shortcomings (self-improvement), setting specific goals to become a better person (growth), and letting go of the things I cannot change (wisdom).

I must utilize every experience as an opportunity to grow and reach for the moon....I just might land among the stars.

Here are a few practical tips that will help:

Be Honest With Yourself, About You (2 Timothy 1:7; Philippians 4:13; 3 John 1:2-3 )

  • Identify any insecurities and work to overcome them
    • Fear
    • Failure
  • Be in tune with your body and your mind
    • Physical
