How To Grow Yourself - The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John Maxwell | Animated Book Review
a time goes by and we become taller
stronger and more capable of doing new
things and facing new challenges many
people carry the same mindset that the
mental spiritual and emotional growth
happens in the same way the problem is
that we don't improve by simply living
just because you're getting older it
doesn't mean that you're becoming better
at managing yourself or developing some
sorts of skills the real growth doesn't
happens accidentially what I mean with
that is not let's say you're 20 years
old and you want to become a bodybuilder
well as you get older your muscles get
stronger but that doesn't mean that you
will become a bodybuilder so in order to
develop and grow yourself you must have
an exact plan a plan that will describe
how are you going to work out to develop
a kind of body that you're dreaming off
the same goes with other things in life
you need a plan on how are you going to
develop yourself in different aspects of
life financially spiritually mentally
and so on for example what can you do is
that you can decide to read 20 books
this year so you decide to read five
books and finance to grow your financial
education five books and relationships
so you can improve your communication or
speaking skills pick up five books and
mindfulness learn meditation then how
can you have a peaceful life like for
example ever a problem with being
constantly worried
pick up the book how to stop worrying
and start living definitely there are
other ways that you can grow yourself
list down the skills that you want to
learn this year and find a way how can
you master them and today we live in a
time that we can have a free access to
unlimited resources to grow ourselves so
the idea is that the growth doesn't
happens accidentially but rather it must
be planned
so the other day I was searching
something in my laptop and I came across
the first video I have ever created
trust me it's absolutely horrible
everything about it horrible I can't
even believe that my language was so bad
at that time I think I did a grubber
mistake almost every single sentence
although that there is still a lot to
improve but with every video I create it
becomes better and that's how everything
works
you don't expect yourself to become good
at something when you are just starting
for the first time what happens to a lot
of people is that you are extremely
motivated to do something but because
you're doing for the first time you're
not good at it so a lot of people lose
motivation and the excuse they give is
that oh that's not for me I see a lot of
people are motivated when they start
winning books but once they start
getting bored a little bit they just put
an end to it so they say things like I'm
not the type of person who can read a
lot and they might not even open another
book for the rest of their lives
so remember motivation gets you going
but discipline keeps you growing that's
the law of consistency it doesn't matter
how talented are you it doesn't matter
how many opportunities you get if you
want to grow consistency is the key they
say that it's better to learn from your
mistakes
but it's way much better to learn from
other people's mistake if you want to
learn everything by yourself it's gonna
take you a lot of time that's why you
need to learn from those who already
good at that and when I say that you
have to find a mentor who can help you
some people think that if you want to
learn finance you have to go to Warren
Buffett and if you want to learn coding
you have to go to Bill Gates no for
example if you're considering going into
politics for the first time he don't
need the advice of the president well
it's great if you can do that but if
you're just starting out nearly all of
your questions can be answered by
someone two or three levels ahead of you
and as you progress in your development
find new mentors for your new levels of
growth
you must accomplish a lot by yourself
but with the help from outside you can
reach your maximum potential
