Within today's society, people who are out of shape mentally, usually fall prey to ideas and situations that are destructive to the human spirit and human relationships.

They are victimized because they have not been taught how to think for themselves, nor have they prepared themselves for an education in lifelong learning– the growth of the mind.

And because they don't have a growth plan, they grow dependent on the thoughts and opinions of other people's second-hand ideas.

Rather than building a personal growth plan, they reduce themselves to a life filled with fear, routine and unfulfilled potential.

Changing your core belief changes your expectations to achieve growth of the mind. Change equals growth. When we refuse to change, we are refusing growth, because growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

You must set aside time every day to develop your thinking skills. Personal growth increases your thinking skills, and good thinking helps you reach your potential.

Achieving your potential derives from making progress, and making progress is often achieved through consistent habits built over time.

  • Growth becomes personal – I need to grow.
  • Growth becomes necessary – I have to grow because its benefitual.
  • Growth becomes profitable --I will grow as a result of pursuing my potential.

Establishing a growth plan is the result of setting clearly define goals and pursuing your dream of a brighter future. It's a plan and strategy to move your life to a new level. But to do that, you must break through your comfort zones.

To achieve your "Personal Growth Plan" you will have to expand your comfort zone, because the only time you can actually grow is when you are outside your comfort zone.

" If you are willing to do only what's easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what's hard, life will be easy."

"Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more action, and more growth than everything else combined--comfort kills."

Happiness doesn't come from living a lukewarm life of comfort and procrastination, wishing you would've did what you should've done. Happiness comes as a result of being in our natural state of growth and pursuing our greatest potential!
