Personal Growth - Discover How Disillusionment Is Your Key To Personal Growth!
Personal growth is a part of everyone's life here on earth, whether they recognise it or not. Some people seem to be able to learn and change in ways that are joyful but, for the majority of us, traumatic or seeming negative events act as catalysts, that propel us to our next level of growth.
If life did not let us down on occasion, most of us would stagnate in boredom, as we do not seem to welcome change. To change, we need to step out of our comfort zone and most of us avoid that until we have no other choice afforded to us.
The whole of life consists of cycles of birth, growth, death and regeneration. Nature itself demonstrates these cycles to us. Animals hibernate in winter. Seeds are planted, then grow, bloom, flourish and then die, only to be resurrected once again in spring.
So, if you are feeling less than happy right now, just hang in there and realise that you may be going through a small "death"; a period of letting go of the old ways that you have learned from, or shedding parts of your personality that you have outgrown, ready to reinvent yourself once again, at the right time.
Personal growth can be uncomfortable, particularly when we are in hibernation mode, where we may feel stuck and cannot seem to move forward in our lives.
Recognising that we are merely moving through such a cycle, can help us understand why we are feeling down and provide us with the necessary patience to ride it out.
If you feel down, then realise that this is a phase in life, that there is nothing "wrong" with you, you are just getting ready for a change.
Like the chrysalis, you are simply being asked to sit still, wait and just "be" with whatever is happening until it is time to re-emerge, transformed by your experience.
Use this time to help yourself understand the positive lessons from your life so far. A constructive thing to do would be to document your progress and how much life has taught you so far.
A new path will open up for you when the time is right, with new and exciting opportunities that will lead you to your next level of personal growth.
