Self-Growth!!

We are finally on Friday, the last day of the week, and soon we will be on the weekend. I don't know why I am excited about the weekend even though I will still be writing here. No breaks until month's end.

Yesterday, I wrote about "Personal Finance" and to always prepare ourselves for the future.

Today, I would like to talk about "Self-Growth." Just like yesterday, let me explain what it is.

"Self-Growth" is the act of developing oneself to get better or become the best version of yourself. It is a life-long activity that should be done daily to reap the ultimate benefits.

You may think that it is not essential to improve yourself daily because no one is doing it, but when you try to develop yourself, it will have life-long benefits, and this is a fact.

To live a life full of satisfaction, happiness, and independence, you need to develop yourself to grab whatever you want.

In my other article, I wrote about how "Words" can decide our lives, this is also tied to "Self-Growth".

What you say about yourself matters. Even though people insult and ridicule you, it all comes down to what you say to yourself.

When you listen and believe what people say about you, then you will stop moving forward.

If you are looking for steps to begin your journey in"Self-Growth," then continue reading.

i. Listen to yourself and think about your future!!

You don't owe anybody anything because it is your life. No one is going to care when you end up old and sick or poor and dependent. When you buy things that would not increase in value or benefit your life, you are destroying your future with your own hands. When people tell you to stop investing and start being wasteful please don't listen to them, just put up a smile and leave.

ii. Don't rely on your certificate so much 

Your certificates can't do everything for you; learn to think outside the box because you will need to think about how to improve yourself when it matters. It can open up so many opportunities you may not have thought of before.

iii. Look for people who will make you better 

"You eventually think like them when you stay with them." If you stay in a crypto group and are willing to learn about crypto, you will eventually learn and become good at it. 

The same goes for "Self-Growth" if you look to improve as an individual, find people who will help you reach that goal, give you good advice, and tell you when you are wrong.

I have noticed that people that tell you that you are always right even when you are wrong are not your friends, and they don't want the best for you.

iii. Read Books

If you are willing to improve yourself, I highly suggest you start reading books that will help you reach your desired goal, we may not know it, but books hold the key to infinite knowledge. Books hold millions of experiences other people have gone through and are willing to share, so you have it easy.

iv. What do you want for yourself? 

Before you can think of improving yourself, you have to know what you want to improve. You can't just go in and expect to become a changed person. You need to understand what you want to change about yourself or what you want to change before improving on it.

v. Get a Mentor or Role Model

Getting a Mentor can go a long way if you are looking to improve yourself. When you know what you want to become, then it is easier to reach the goal. Always have someone you can look up to and teach you.

SITUATIONS THAT AFFECT SELF-GROWTH

1. PEER PRESSURE AND INFLUENCE

For example, a woman wanted to buy real estate in 1990, the price was reasonable, and the area seemed to be very fruitful. She wanted to invest in it, but her friends told her to buy herself some luxury goods because she was still young and there was no need to buy something she couldn't wear.

She eventually buys the luxury goods and ends up leaving the land to another buyer.

Long story short, the land appreciates 10x in value due to civilization, and the luxury goods she bought are all finished or broken in the end.

Imagine if she had bought the land like she usually intended to do and didn't listen to her friends, she would have been a proud owner of that fruitful land.

Sometimes, we just got to think of the future and ignore everything people say to us.

2.  BAD ENVIRONMENT AND PEOPLE

I have never been taught how to invest in school. They taught me how to make sure I become a perfect worker, so I didn't get fired from my future job.

I am not against the school system, but I think you are the problem when you don't teach children how to improve themselves. 

Most teachers don't know the amount of trauma they have put on children with their abuse. "You are an Idiot", " You are dumb," "You are not Smart."

These words don't help the child improve because they only impose that the child is a failure and nothing else.

We should ensure our children don't get abused and depressed because other individuals do not understand that their words affect their growth.

Now when these kids grow up, they will end up broken and traumatized because they don't feel like they are worth it, thats why we see so many people that are depressed.

The school system has made sure that there are two types of people, "The Smart" and "The Dumb", and it needs to stop. 

It doesn't matter which side you are on. You can still be successful. The so-called "Dumb" person may become the most affluent trader in the world.

Most A+ students work under C students; when you focus so much on studying, you tend to forget other ways to succeed. 

I am not saying that studying is terrible, but we should have other options in our life.

If you want to develop yourself, it is vital to always look for several methods. There are so many formulas in mathematics; what makes you think there is only one formula for getting rich.
