First things first, that mere fact that you are even reading a post on personal growth proves that you are willing to put in the work towards self-improvement, so kudos to you for that!
Some days, it might feel like you’re on top of the world, cruising through your morning routine checklist and flying past every obstacle that gets in your way. Other days, you’re full of imposter syndrome, self-doubt and just want to give up — sound familiar? Yeah, me too.
The good thing is that it’s totally normal to have these swings in confidence and motivation — but how are we supposed to find balance between the two? The easy answer: Continuing to show up and push ahead even on the hard days. Personal growth is an ongoing process, so even in the moments that you feel stuck, frustrated, or discouraged, know that there will always be other new opportunities that will come around that allow you to flourish and thrive.
Pssst... Here's a few printable planners I thought you might like!
Personal growth means all sorts of different things, and it's as much about setting up new, healthy habits and stepping into a new season of life as it is leaving behind the things that are keeping us stuck. Week to week, you might not notice a different, but looking back over the course of six months, a year, and eventually five years — that's where you will start to notice small acts of discipline, pruning stale routines start to make a major impact.
A great tip to get progress to stick is to set goals that are input oriented, rather than results oriented. Now, let me explain by that, because it's an important distinction. An example of a results oriented goal might be: "I want find 5 new clients to work with before the end of the year." The problem with that goal is that it's extremely dependent on several factors outside of your control.
Instead, the alternative input oriented goal would be "I want to pitch 10 new prospects every week until the end of that year." This way, the action lies entirely with you.
Sometimes, a little push in the right direction is all we need to get back on track. That’s why I’m here today sharing 25 of my favorite personal growth quotes. I like to re-read these every couple of weeks, and it’s always interesting to notice that sometimes the ones that resonate most change depending on my current state of mind.
Especially if it’s early in the week, your personal inspiration tank might feel like it’s running on fumes — so hopefully these inspirational quotes will get that Monday motivation rolling — and hey, maybe it’ll carry over into some Tuesday motivation, too 😉
Reading these quotes obviously won't work any magic on their own — but putting them into action will. I like to turn them into journal prompts, schedule them as reminders on my phone, and jot them down onto sticky notes that I can leave around the house.
And one last thing to keep that in mind the next time you want to snooze that alarm, or skip that work out — consistency is everything, but we’re playing the long game here. If your body is telling you to rest, listen to it. Throw yourself a self-care day, spend the morning journaling with an extra-large cup of coffee, take an afternoon off work even if you don’t have any real reason to.
Learning to know when to push and pull is all part of the equation. That's my own personal-growth advice to add to the list below :)
