Personal Growth: Live Your Best Life!
LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE THROUGH GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT!
This segment is for focusing on a big area in our life wheel….personal growth and development.
This area could mean a different thing for everyone.
At its very essence, the key word is personal….and at times, I believe that the word development could be replaced with the word remembering.
Whatever your goals are, personal growth of an individual means becoming aware of your behaviours, your drivers, your emotions and areas of which ones life may need focusing in on.
To shine a light…to explore the shadow.
It’s about deeply knowing who you are, and then being prepared to keep revealing all that is true about you, this can even mean surprising yourself at times.
Personal growth is becoming aware of self in its entirety.
Growth is often uncomfortable, messy and full of a multitude of feelings you weren’t expecting – but as they say, you have to step outside your comfort zone in order to grow & change.
- Are you ready to commit to yourself & truly trust yourself?
- To take your best life goals head on?
- To really strive for a better you?
Personal growth & development is something that continues for the entirety of our lives should you choose to allow it.
It’s what makes life worth living.
It’s the enjoyment of the journey, it’s a continual awakening.
The exploration, curiosity, the adventure to understanding yourself and the role you play in your own best life discovery mission.
The roller coaster ride of life that brings with it the highs, the lows, the exhilaration, the despair, the bumps in the road along with the celebrations.
The sense of achievement and euphoria we feel when we reach a goal or another milestone of discovery makes it worth it.
The constant evolution of all it means to be human.
So what’s the next step?
We have exited a period of supposed lockdown & have entered a period of what feels like a new world…
even the unknown…
…..whilst at the same time, it feels just like it should.
So how can we continue to thrive through crises and move past feelings of merely surviving?
The next step starts within you.
In fact it always has been within you.
I can vouch from experience, as I’m sure you can too, that even during times of crises you can continue to thrive and grow beyond your wildest dreams.
We all have obstacles we face in everyday life.
The recent world narrative, perhaps has just exacerbated them & brought them to the surface and made you realise, that now is the time to change.
The right time is always now.
In fact, it really is the only time we ever truly have.
Set a goal.
Make it meaningful.
Whatever it may be… small or large.
Maybe it’s just that you want to wake up earlier to meet the sun rise…
So set the goal and start working towards that. Or maybe it’s something bigger like starting a business or changing your life completely.
Whatever it may be for you, write that goal down and start taking steps to work towards it.
The rest will unfold as it plays out.
Stop waiting for things to be perfect, as they never will be.
You’ll surprise even yourself by how quickly your dreams can become a reality when you make a decision, set the intention and then start working on them.
It’s our birthright to live our best lives, so make that decision today and start taking those steps towards your life’s most important journey.
Today is a good day to start living your best life.. all it takes is the decision to commit to it.
Quote for Personal Growth this month…
“Don’t go through life, grow through life.”

Hey Best Lifer,
Have a purpose for all that you do!!!
This is a biggie if you ask me. Do everything you do with everything you’ve got. And more importantly make sure that what you ‘do’ is linked to who you truly are.
I’ve often said that when your ‘why‘ is big enough & true enough then your ‘how’ & ‘what’ will take care of themselves.
You will feel pulled not pushed in the direction of your purpose. If you decide to do something, then you will feel called to dedicate yourself to it. This means you need to be conscious about what you say ‘YES‘ to whether you feel like you have the ability to choose or not, you always do, you are in the drivers seat of making your own choices.
Therefore, I’m really curious to know what is the next choice you will make as to how are you going to go forth in a way that will serve you & your best life?
Too often, we hear people say “but I don’t want to clean the house, I don’t want to walk the dog, I don’t want to do the groceries but I have to, I don’t have a choice.”.
So let’s be straight up!
You absolutely have made a choice & do always have a choice no matter how ‘big’, ‘hard’ or ‘overwhelming’ that it seems…
I mean after all, you could choose not to clean the house and to live in a dirty home.
You could choose not to walk the dog and deal with a crazy pooch!
And you could choose not to do your groceries and struggle to put a meal together for the rest of the week. You have a choice and you have chosen to have a clean home, a happy dog and a healthful pantry (and a happy tummy). Of course, some things are not as black and white but in everything we do in life we can choose how we respond and how we move forward.
There is a saying in yoga that translates to ‘As the mind, so the person. Bondage or liberation are in your own mind’. Take note of the choices available to you when you’re at a cross roads & realise that you hold the keys to feeling bound or free. It really is your choice…
And I share this deeply from my heart to yours this month as I have caught myself in times of overwhelm, and at times staring down a To Do list that is setting me up to fail, so I too needed a little (BIG) reminder of this one!
TOP TIP: To make better quality decisions & choices, hold your purpose & your overarching reasons as to ‘why’ you want something & connect deeply to the meaning it has to your life, then notice your thoughts & your actions that step in to support you. Then, ask yourself, what is my first step…It’s a game changer…
I look forward to popping into your inbox again then and in the mean time hearing more from of you as to how myself and the LYBL team can be of service and championing you on your own best life living quest and mission.
