      --> THERE’S A SIMPLE WAY TO GET ORGANIZED AND TAKE CONTROL OF  YOUR LIFE!

Personal growth and success mean something different for everyone, but there are some basic habits that you can tailor to your own life to ensure you continue to grow.

- IDENTIFY WHAT YOU REALLY WANT : 

The first step in developing a personal growth plan is thinking about what you really want – what are the results you crave? What outcome are you seeking? What is the ultimate desired outcome for your pursuit? You need to clarify what your personal growth and development is for. Do you want to get promoted at the office? Are you trying to strengthen your romantic relationship? Do you want to feel stronger and healthier?

Once you have a clear outcome in mind, think about your motivation behind the goal. At first glance, you may think it’s just because you want to feel better about yourself, and you’re trying to find ways to build yourself up.

However, many times you can challenge yourself to think of a larger motivator. Do you want a promotion so you can better provide for your family? Will a stronger romantic relationship lead to greater happiness and productivity in your life? Does being in better shape allow you to give back to your community more thoroughly? By seeing that you’re driven by factors larger than yourself, you’ll feel more encouraged to take on the task at hand.

- GET THE TOOLS AND COACHING YOU NEED :

It’s okay to acknowledge that you can’t create a personal growth plan all on your own. Many of the world’s most successful people turn to external tools and strategies when they embark on their path to personal growth. Turn to the best personal growth books, turn to stories or quotes you find motivational or find a mentor who empowers you.

If you can’t access a mentor, identify someone you admire and study their choices. As Tony Robbins has said, “If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.” How did they find success? How do they approach their daily responsibilities? Whether this is someone who’s famous or someone close to you, by using tools and tapping into the success of others, you’ll more easily develop your own path to success.

- FOLLOW THROUGH AND HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE

Find a way to keep track of your progress. This could be documenting your success with a personal growth plan by keeping a journal, or regularly updating a close friend or family member so they keep you accountable.

Although the road to change may feel long at the onset, as you keep track of your growth over time, you’ll feel inspired to continue. Celebrate small milestones in your personal growth journey, and don’t let yourself become discouraged if you reach a hiccup in your plan. As Tony Robbins lays out in The Time of Your Life, it’s crucial to appreciate the work you’ve already put in as you continue on your personal growth journey.
