Personal Growth: For Leadership Of Self and Others

Personal Growth: For Leadership Of Self and Others.

Dear Best Lifer,

What does personal growth even mean? or I could ask what does it mean to YOU? We are all unique, we all look at the world differently, Dr Google explains personal growth as: Personal growth is a process of both understanding yourself and pushing yourself to reach your highest potential. It means always asking yourself who you are becoming and how you plan to get there.

When it comes to leadership of self and others why would we want to focus in on personal growth?

Well the answer is simple, to live a happy more fulfilled life, and that fulfilment is determined by you choosing what is important to you.

For some fulfilment might mean success and money, for others it might be bringing the next generation through and having children, for others it may be filling up a passport full of stamps travelling and learning about the world we live in, the list goes on and on.

Depending on your stage of life, you will also have different wants and desires.

In our teens we are learning about ourselves and modelling ‘for’ or ‘against’ the examples we see around us.

In early adulthood, we are likely on an adventure of sorts, finding our place to put our flag in our mountain and call it our own.

In the midst of adulting, we are often carving out our version of ourselves, that aligns with our chosen ‘passion’ in life.

Late adulthood…is likely to be mastery of self, our craft and if not already, we would be starting to think about sharing our knowledge with others.

As we age, we think more about our legacy and our imprint for our time in this world.

Each stage of life brings with it a different set of values and desires, which is why it is so important to continually check in and ask your self, “What is the bigger picture here?”, tune back into the north on your souls compass and find the WHY that is driving you day to day.

This month I took a few of our LYBL Family through a ‘2024 Vision Statement’ webinar, with the opportunity to ask themselves the bigger questions, it was an opportunity to ignite the visionary within each of us and design our best lives.

“If you are not growing, you are going”

Be it in life or in business, one thing I know for sure, is that if you are not growing you are going.

I trust these emails give you a moment to stop and reflect, to check in with yourself and really decide if you are playing at 100%, not just for yourself but for those around you too.

Next month we will dive into one of my favourite monthly themes… Spirit & Soul, that precious time we commit to tuning into the faith we believe in or the universal energy we tap into – be it in prayer or meditation, for some even just getting out more into nature.

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.

Live Your Best Life,

Michele Jones 💓
