Based on John Maxwell is the journey of success. Here are 10 principles to become a dedicated self-development. I'll be thinking about this as I take a break this week.
1. Chosen a life of growth - When you sincerely dedicate themselves to continual growth, you keep moving forward. As soon as you think you can coast or rest or simply to maintain what they have already reached, that is when you start to slide backwards.
2. Growing Today - Procrastination is the death of ambitions and dreams. One day is not a day of the week. The growth is not automatic. The current growth will not provide a better tomorrow. Growth is your responsibility - if you do not take responsibility, growth will never happen.
3. Be teachable - "It 's what you learn after you know that all that matters." John Wooden, former UCLA basketball coach has said. He acknowledged that the biggest obstacle to growth is not ignorance, is knowledge. When we think we know everything, we become unteachable and can not grow or improve.
4. Focus on self-development, not self-realization - self-fulfillment and feel good. With the self-development, feel good is a byproduct, not a target. Self-development is a higher calling, is the development of its potential so that we can achieve the purpose for which you were created.
5. Never stay satisfied with current achievements - Think that you have arrived when you reach a goal has the same effect as you think you know everything. It takes away the desire to learn. Successful people know that wins and losses are both temporary. So no matter how successful you are today, do not get complacent. Stay Hungry. Do not settle into the comfort zone. The success, move to higher growth.
6. Being a student continues - keep moving, they become a perpetual student. You'll have to carve out time for this. As Henry Ford said: "It 's been my observation that most successful people to go forward in time waste of other people." learn something every day is the essence of being a continuous learner.
7. Focusing on a few big issues - giving your time and energy just to the issues at the center of your life. Keep the focus narrow. Where you focus your attention will depend on your purpose, how you want to help others and what it means for you to reach your potential.
8. Develop a plan for growth - The key to this life is the development of a plan: Plan your work and the work plan. Earl Nightingale said: "If a person who will spend an hour a day on the same subject for five years, that person will be an expert." As you go on it does not matter but do it every day.
9. Pay the price - the growth requires discipline. It takes time away from leisure time. It costs money for materials. There are constant changes and risks. It can be lonely. But growth is always worth the price you pay, because the alternative is a life of unfulfilled potential. President Theodore Roosevelt said: "It was one more person in our history who led a life of ease whose name is to remember."
10. Find a way to apply what they learned - somehow apply what you learn every day to make it a habit rather than a wish. Do this for 21 days and the habit is yours. As you accumulate in this way the growth, you never stagnate or retreat.
