A lot of us want to become better in our lives. We always say that we want to be the best versions of ourselves. We always dream about our personal growth.

Have you ever wondered; why is it so hard to be the best version of myself? Am I doing things that I am supposed to, to be the that person? Do I understand what personal growth is all about? Is it something that I want wholeheartedly without someone forcing me? Am I the person that is willing to make the sacrifices that I need to propel myself forward?

If you’ve ever felt these feelings, then let’s start reframing your mindset about personal growth!

Here are 3 Important Truth About Personal Growth

1. You need to want it more than anyone.

People can’t decide what they want for you and force you to do it because the impact is not as good as if you want to do it on your own. For example, when your parents send you to learn how to play football or force you to learn how to do ballet because they wanted it more than you, you would feel like they are insisting that you need to do something. It’s different when you want something for yourself. The chances for you to grow and be successful will be much higher. What you need is just support from people around you to accomplish that.

2. You have to change your way of life.

If you are living your life comfortably and doing the same thing every single day with the same routine, chances for you to grow are lesser. You need to change the way you live for you to grow. You can’t be doing the same thing and expect a different result. You need to disrupt the way you live your life. You need to drop the bad habits that do not help you to grow in the long run.

3. You are more likely to fail first before you succeed.

You often hear that people give up easily during their first few attempts. “I can’t do this.” “I’m not made for this.” “It’s too difficult.”. Truth is, you have to go through a period of difficulties before you can succeed. If you don’t, you are not doing it effectively. Take charge of the situation that you are in. No one else can do that for you. Take action towards what you want because the moment you do this, you will get it with positive outcomes that you want and thus, you will grow.
