Have you ever wondered what it takes to grow personally? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question? For a long time, I didn’t know what it took to grow personally. Many people I’ve spoken to don’t know either. They think accumulating degrees or professional accolades equals growth. While education is important, it’s just one pillar among the four critical pillars of life that contribute to personal growth.
Personal growth refers to the process of improving yourself in various aspects of life, such as emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. It involves self-awareness, self-improvement, and the pursuit of meaningful goals.
At a point in my life when I had hit rock bottom and everything seemed to collapse. I felt like a failure in all my roles – as a mother, stepmother, wife, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law. It seemed my life was meaningless and fruitless.
During this time, I came across a video of Lisa Nichols which reignited something within me, and a specific message she shared struck me deeply: “Not only do you have to grow, but you also have to grow alone.”
This revelation was transformative that is why I yearned to share my experience with others, to be a strength and courage to you.
Amongst the things I’ve discovered- our desire to please others and not be alone can often hinder our progress. Yet, personal growth is precisely that – personal. It’s a journey unique to you, shaped by your experiences, struggles, and triumphs.
When you’re at your lowest, like I was, you’re in a vulnerable state, akin to being without legs, unable to carry anyone else. In those moments, the focus must be on self-healing and self-improvement. I became a warrior during my dark times, embracing resilience, dedication, and tenacity. My growth became non-negotiable. I understood that to be a better mother, wife, daughter, and person, I needed to first heal myself.
Just like superheroes retreat into their hiding places to transform, personal growth requires solitude. It’s like planting a seed. The growth that happens beneath the surface, though unseen, is critical. The deeper the roots, the taller and stronger the tree. Similarly, your personal growth journey might feel slow and hidden, but it’s vital for the powerful emergence of your true self.
Today, I’m a different person from who I was three years ago because I embraced solitude, reflect, and undergo therapy, often in secrecy, to protect my journey.
Investing in myself was the best decision I made, and it’s a value that no one can take away from me. Material things can be lost, but the inner growth remains.
If you are doubting whether you can have the resources for your growth, remember: you can find ways to invest in yourself. It’s essential, and the transformation you’ll undergo is priceless. Personal growth may be lonely, but it’s filled with quality and depth. It’s about choosing to embark on a journey that will change your life profoundly.
I promise you, if you do the work, your life will never be the same.
Personal growth is an ongoing process that requires commitment and effort. It is a deeply individual journey, as everyone has different areas they need to work on and different methods that work best for them. Ultimately, personal growth aims to help you become the best version of yourself, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
