Personal Growth
I have been asked many times, what is personal growth? or how
can I grow as a person?
Well, I thought maybe I should try and answer this question.
You deepest fear is not that you are inadequate your deepest
fear is that you are powerful.
It is the light and not the darkness that most frightens us.
A question you could ask yourself is am I brilliant, gorgeous,
talented or fabulous?
The answer is actually, who's to say your not?
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other
people won't feel unsure around you. You are born to manifest
the glory that is within. It is not in some of us it is in all
of us. When you let your light shine you are unconsciously
giving other people permission to do the same. When you become
liberated from your fears you can liberate others around you.
You need to understand what is important to you.
Each person has a different idea of what it means to have
success. Self knowledge is a common goal that will help everyone
achieve personal success, so many of us have hangs about someone
whose ideas have made them successful, and we loose what is
truly important to us. This is completely normal. You need to
realize what is truly important to you. This will be a major
step towards achieving personal success.
You should start to recognize your weakness and you should not
hide behind them. Once you have realised your true self this can
be very liberating you should not discard the rules of the
society you live in.
You need to recognize that other people's values are no less
important than yours. You should recognize and accept that you
live in a society in which certain people and certain behaviours
are more suited towards particular tasks. This is another key to
opening the doors to personal growth.
So how do you go about realizing what's truly important to you?
How do you recognize your weakness and how do you learn how not
to hide behind them?
How do you become balanced?
How do I open that magical door that will show me the way to
personal growth and success?
There is no quickie scheme that will make you a successful
person. Believing in yourself is a powerful aid in your quest
for excellence, but it is not the actual solution. It just helps
you to expand your understanding of human nature. An improved
understanding of yourself and others will help you to find,
follow or expand your path. An awareness and acceptance of the
fact that one person may function more effective than another in
a given situation will help you to understand the relevance of
personal growth to your life.
You need to attempt to become the master of your own life to
become enlightened and empowered. All of us are at different
steps on the staircase, or at different paces down the road. We
are all beginning the journey and we are doing well. You must
continue to grow if you what to succeed and truly become master
of your own light. When you become master you are able to help
humanity. The three most important stages of enlightenment are
to know yourself, perfect yourself and empower others.
As a potential teacher you must know yourself. If you believe
you are greater than you are, then you become arrogant and vain!
Or if you believe you are lesser than you are, you cannot help
and teach others. You need to become an independent observer of
your behaviour. You must step outside of yourself. Begin to look
at yourself objectively to see your faults and virtues. Increase
the virtues within you and work on changing the faults.
Many people believe that it is loveable to have a few faults.
They may think it is alright to be a little lazy or a little
impatient. If these same qualities were in a teacher you would
be very critical of this. You would not like a teacher to be
arrogant, vain selfish, lazy or to anger easily. If you would
like to become a teacher of light then you need to begin to
truly look at yourself. Begin the process of perfecting
yourself.
You will never gain 100% perfection in this life, but you can
certainly begin the process. Being courageous enough to truly
look at your faults and see how you stop the light from coming
in.
Think of yourself as a lighthouse.
A lighthouse stands mighty and proud, with a beautiful light
within helping to protect ships at sea from crashing on the
rocks. If the windows of the lighthouse are covered then the
light cannot shine out. This is the same with you, look at your
faults and work on them. Shine your windows and then your own
inner light can save others from crashing on the rocks.
Begin to be kinder, more humble but at the same time use the
strength within you to work towards the light. Become a source
of unconditional love. If you can see patterns in your life that
have been destructive in the past, reach deep within and change
them. In the future you can teach others how to release
themselves from these patterns.
Examine your body, mind, and soul. Work on all three areas to
perfect yourself. Begin the process for this is why you have
incarnated, so that you can perfect yourself on all levels,
allowing you and others a healthy life.
