Each of us has the possibility to decide how our path to personal development will be. As I have already commented on occasion, this path cannot be full of shortcuts that bring us closer to the destination.
If so, we would not be talking about personal development. Here are a series of uncomfortable truths to help you avoid the fast track to personal development..
1. Acquiring knowledge does not mean growth. Growth only happens when what you learn changes your life.
2. You can't come up with good ideas unless you are willing to come up with a lot of bad ideas first..
3. A good idea without an action plan is useless.
4. It's not about finding opportunities. It's about generating opportunities.
5. 10% of our lives are decided by uncontrollable events. The remaining 90% is decided by our reaction to these events.
6. What you don't start today you won't finish tomorrow.
7. If you wait for the perfect conditions to arrive to start something, you will never achieve anything.
8. If you continue doing the same as always, you will continue to get the same results as always.
9. Change resists when it is most needed.
10. Discipline consists of choosing what you want the most instead of what you want right now.
11. The harder you work, the luckier you will have.
12. Kindness and hard work will take you further than intelligence..
13. Life is not easy. Especially when you're trying to get something worthwhile.
14. Bad times don't last. Bad people yes.
15. To be successful you must fail as many times as you succeed.
16. No one succeeds alone.
17. Having a bad plan is better than having no plan.
18. At the beginning you must say yes to many things in order to discover and establish your goals. Later you must say "no" to many things in order to focus on your destination..
19. Being important does not mean that you have managed to dominate other people. It means that you have mastered your own potential.
20. Success is a path, not a destination.
21. Results are more important than the time it takes to achieve them.
22. Being busy and being productive are two different things..
23. Being happy and being successful are two different things..
24. Life is full of opportunities to feel exactly how you want to feel.
25. You have the right to be happy. It is only up to you to exercise that right.
26. Success is not defined by how your life has changed. Success is defined by the positive impact the lives of those around you have had.
27. Holding anger is like holding onto a piece of hot iron waiting for an opportunity to throw it at someone. In the end it is you who burns.
28. Life is not always logical.
29. When you waste time worrying about something, you are simply using your imagination to attract the things you do not want..
30. There is a lesson to be learned in everything you do. Internalizing this lesson is the way to continue growing.
31. No matter how smart you are, you will also be wrong.
32. There is nothing risk-free. Everything you do has inherent risk.
33. Saying no to the right people will give you the time and resources to say yes to the right opportunities..
34. That you can does not mean that you should.
35. Confusion is not bad. It means that you are thinking and growing.
36. A good presence attracts the eyes. A good personality attracts the heart.
37. Really rich people need less to be happy..
38. When you receive negative feedback, think that it doesn't matter how many people don't understand it. It matters how many people do.
39. If you wake up thinking that something wonderful will happen to you that day and pay enough attention, you will see that you are right.
40. If you want love, give love. If you want friends, be social. If you want money, generate value.
