7 things to annihilate if you want to experience growth as an adult. Check comments for bonus point, it's my favorite. 😊
1. Fear of Failure - Mistakes aren’t final; they’re stepping stones.
Integrate failure into your growth journey. Contrary to how your upbringing has conditioned you, fail more and fast. There's a direct correlation between how much and fast you're failing and how much you're growing.
Sometimes, I set out to record the worst video I can possibly record and it turns out to
be a sensation with far more engagement. Of course, it's just a trick I play on my mind to just get the video done by any means.
2. Excuses - Growth requires ownership, not blame-shifting.
You should know that whatever you blame consistently, you also empower. Err on the side of personal responsibility.
Always be honest, and seek out how you have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to your experience or where you are.
3. Comfort Zone - Break free from what feels safe; stretching builds strength.
If you're not using it, you're losing it, and comfort conditions us toward unindustriousness. Do not savor comfortability. Taste it, enjoy for a moment and spit it out.
4. Negative Self-Talk - Stop letting your inner critic sabotage your progress.
Know this, if you can't create it in you first, or believe you're capable, you'll probably never lay hold of it.
If you have to talk to yourself, why not make it positive?
5. Comparison - Measuring your journey against others only breeds insecurity.
Comparison is perhaps the greatest thief of joy.
It's a bo***ge; a stronghold and all who desire growth must break free from it.
6. Toxic Relationships - Let go of voices and people who drain, distract, or discourage you.
If it's not drawing you nearer to God, it's most likely ripping your soul apart and not contributing to your growth and well-being.
This is not a license to avoid building capacity and mental fortitude by welcoming criticism and improving based on feedback from the people around you.
7. Procrastination – Growth demands action, not endless planning or waiting for the “perfect time.”
Growth is simply about shortening the gap between ideation and ex*****on and iteration.
Kill these, and you create the space for new habits, new opportunities, and real transformation.
