Manifesting personal growth, Wealth and Abundance

What 95% Of The People Do Not Know About Personal Growth

Any individuals who are in the business of leading, motivating and inspiring others should give careful consideration to embarking on a self-development program of any kind first to have a critical look at them. This is important to knowing yourself well in order to determine what areas that need further improvement.

Once an area of improvement is identified, then fixing it would be much simpler. I like to call this process the “scientific way” because it is an empirical approach in diagnosing the issues and rectifying it.

There is 3 processes involved in this:

1) Identifying

2) Admitting

3) Addressing

We begin by first identifying our focus and gaps. If we intend to change for the better, it is important we be outright honest with ourselves by asking simple questions first. What are our strengths, weaknesses and aspirations? Write it down onto a piece of paper.

Inner Strength Manifesto

For example,

Individual

Strengths

Weakness

Aspirations

A

Ambitious, disciplined, Goal-oriented

Lack of gratitude, selfish, overpromises, calculative

To be more kind, patient, and tolerant. To think ahead before committing

B

Meticulous, loving and caring, generous

Socially awkward,

avoidance, stubbornness

To build more courage and confidence. To speak out, to be heard and dare to confront the matter

By these two individuals’ examples, you can tell that they each have very distinct personalities. Since we are all brought up differently due to our teachings and environment, we are moulded to who we are today.

Some might argue certain characteristics (strengths and weaknesses) are passed down from generation to generation, but these can be tweaked, granted if you have the intention to change in the first place.

Strength – is the fundamental aspect of yourself. It is what makes you who you are today! Certain people are attracted to you because you exhibit these types of traits that they want to emulate or know you better.

Weakness – the other brother of strength and everyone has it whether they admit it or not. These are the traits you want to consider improving.

Aspirations – Usually associated with your hopes and ambitions in achieving something.

Back to the individuals’ examples, Individual A is someone who is driven and ambitious and usually they are the people who are involved in corporate and sales line (I guess you can begin to picture some of your surrounding friends). They are dead right focused, goal oriented and most likely loves challenges. On the flip side, they might turn out to be rather unkind and does not seem to appreciate the goodness in other people.

Now take a look at what you had wrote in the paper, I want you to embrace your strengths and begin to genuinely accept and acknowledge your weaknesses. Because you see, if you can’t even accept that part of yours, it is very hard to move forward to the next stage.

The irony?

Most people write down their “weaknesses” and frown, either they think it is a small matter or they find it difficult to admit.

The truth is, this is what will actually happen:

∙ It is not difficult to admit your weaknesses

∙ By writing down your weaknesses, you not only learn to accept them but you have the conscious effort to do something about it

Before we delve into aspirations, I want you to begin by seeking honest opinions and feedback from the people whom you trust. This is an important exercise because earlier what you just did was “how you see yourself in the mirror”.

The second exercise is about how other people look at you. Ask these questions to your close acquaintances, siblings or even your significant other!

If the feedback you get correlates with what you wrote down, then great! This makes it easier for you to improve on your weaknesses.

If it is different from what you have listed down, then you should compare the qualities that you have wrote down with that of the people around you. Go through them one by one and see which ones are relevant and which ones are not.

Here comes the third step, addressing. Addressing is all about taking actions. For example, take individual B, he listed down avoidance as his weak trait and has acknowledged it. Therefore, he is addressing his weaknesses by taking necessary steps to meet his aspirations.

Most of us find this step as one of the toughest things to do.

Why?

Inner Strength Manifestation

Because we have been “living” with our weaknesses for so long it has become a part of us. Maybe we are afraid that by discarding our trait, we lose a unique personality of ourselves?

Therefore, you need to think of your aspirations. Aspirations is what you intend to be but is still in the “work in progress” stage. You want to improve to be a better person and work on your weaknesses. However, your aspirations are meaningless unless you address it and take necessary actions.

Change can only begin by taking action and to be precise, MASSIVE ACTION. If you want something, you have to work for it; nothing comes free in this world. Heard of the saying, “No Pain, No Gain”?

Another mentality that most of us like to adopt is, “I will try my best”. Well, trying is just not good enough, because in the end, if things do not work out well on our end, we will console ourselves by saying “at least I have tried.”

Instead if you do seriously want to address your weaknesses and aspire to be who you set out to be, change your mind set by adopting a mentality that you will do anything it takes to be who you want to be. You need to remind yourself, you are changing for the better,

“NO MATTER WHAT”

In fact, treat this as your “mantra” moving forward. I have seen too many people giving up without putting up a good fight in life. They throw down the towel too quickly and not committed to change because they lack the determination and persistence.

Little Known Way To: Self Assurance!

For the purpose of the exercise, since individual B has exhibited socially awkward symptoms and do have the aspirations to be more courageous and confident, I will continue to use him for the remainder of this book.

Not everyone is born confident, in fact, confidence is built throughout time. Some children are blessed to have brought up in an environment where discussion is free within the family. Hence, they are able to debate and give their thoughts and views. That will ultimately shape and contribute to the person they are today.

That is not to say that children who are brought up in a strict family environment will end up having lack of confidence. No doubt that this will more or less impede their personal development in the adult stage, however, it is not the end of the world.

Thankfully, I have found some certain quick methods that work like a charm!

∙ Phasing out certain voices

∙ Following your heart

∙ Morale support

∙ “You can do it too!”

The first step to improving your confidence is phasing out that internal voice in your mind that keeps telling you it is not possible; begin to block it out and ask yourself “what is the worst-case scenario?” After experiencing something you feared doing for the first time, you realize that it was not as frightening as you thought it would be.

Have you ever experienced the situation when you lack of the courage or the confidence to approach your crush? That is because you have constantly built an obstacle as high as the mountain it becomes a daunting task. Follow your heart, you have allowed your brain to determine your logical and reality of your life but how can you truly live your life if you have not tried it yet? Are you afraid of embarrassment or people making fun of you?

Thus, my question to you is “so what?”, if you have not tried it, how will you know the outcome? Besides, guess what? No one will actually remember that blooper few years down the road. Better to live life with no regrets than looking back later in life thinking “what if?”

Moral support is also the key to beefing up your confidence level, always confide in someone that you can trust and help you feel better about yourself. Opening up about your fears and inner feelings will not only make you feel better but also it will give you another perspective of how other people see you. Besides, listening to someone who tells you can do something WILL give you the extra push into making it happen.

Always consider the fact in your mind that if it can be done by others, you can do it too! For example, I truly respect and admire individuals such as Lizzie Velasquez &Nick Vujicic because they are the people born with unfortunate circumstances and yet they do not allow their shortcoming to get a hold of them, instead they carry themselves confidently.Dear Reader
