I have conceived greatness by conceptualizing it from the perspective of the dream and the actualization of life’s goals through intentional growth and discernment. A personal growth plan is a sure recipe for your greatness and ultimate fulfillment in life. Mary Louise Wiley says, “If you want your life to be meaningful, go out and do something about it.” In other words, having a personal growth plan can make your life meaningful. My life has undoubtedly been compounded and benefited immensely from self-growth and development for nearly three decades. I started my growth journey in December 1996; it has been a fantastic thrill. You can lift your life from the mire of life by committing to personal growth and development. It is a sure way to keep a fertile and healthy mind. Let’s start by asking:

What Should A Personal Growth Plan Look Like for Me?
“Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional.” – Unknown

You need a blueprint – a plan, design, draft, outline, sketch, game plan, strategy, etc. A blueprint is a detailed plan or program of action. You need to give your life meaning by giving it a detailed plan. Don’t leave anything to chance; ensure that every event in your life is adequately planned. Have a game plan for your life because that is the only way to succeed. I love soccer a lot, even though I don’t watch much soccer now. I love it when a team manager can prosecute a match by following through with his game plan. Sometimes, great talents are irrelevant in soccer, with a team manager who is a master executor of his game plan with an average talent pool. Such a manager knows how to deploy his meager resources to his advantage.

The big idea from this article is that there is no quick-fix model for growth. For your growth to be enduring, it has to be intentional and sustained over time without ever thinking for once that you have arrived as the curtain of this year is finally drawn. Reflect on what has transpired in your life over 365 days and honestly assess how you have fared. If, peradventure, you have not made much progress, a new year is approaching to re-strategize for you to get it right. This time, the magic wand you might need is a follow-through personal growth plan.

  1. This passage emphasizes the importance of intentional personal growth and development as a key to a meaningful and fulfilling life. The metaphor of the bamboo tree encourages readers to embrace a patient and intentional mindset for long-term success. The comparison between mushroom growth and much-room growth underscores the value of sustained effort and planning over quick fixes. The emphasis on knowledge, wisdom, and strategic thinking adds depth to the message, emphasizing that true strength lies in intelligence and innovation. Overall, it serves as a motivational call to action for me to commit to a personal growth plan for enduring success.

How to Defeat an Average Life

Your worst enemy in life is to be content with an average life. Average life is acceptance of one's fate in the midst of plenty. It is a more precarious state of despair, worthlessness, and hopelessness. Average life is a state of self-condemnation and a feeling of not being good among one's peers. On many fronts, encountering failure in life's tasks is more important and noble for a man than for him to settle for an average living. However, the most beautiful thing about failure is that failure always has something to teach you. There is usually an opportunity to learn when you try and fail if you don't give up. But an average life is lived in the valley of self-pity, whining, and striving to maintain the status quo.

Finding the Courage to Lead

No matter what anybody tells you, it takes courage to lead. Different people want to lead for different reasons. Whatever it is that is propelling your desire for a stake in leadership cannot be effectively achieved without a measure of some dose of courage.Courage is an amplifier! It magnifies your actions more than what you are capable of doing ordinarily. When you have it, you will overcome obstacles. When you don’t have it, life will be drudgery. Courage helps you to act with swiftness, while you unleash terror against every opposing force that is out to trap you. To state it even more clearly, courage in itself is not the absence of fear as some people conceive it, but acting with audacity even in the presence of your fear.

The Extent of Humanness and the Dignity of a Person

In recent decades, there have been vast misconceptions about gender roles, differences, and definitions. The more traditional way of conceptualizing a person's humanness and dignity is by understanding what people mean when they talk about dignity and humanity. Dignity and humanity from time immemorial are a person's inherent virtues. Of course, this can be stated more clearly concerning a person's self-worth or self-respect. Virtue, stated differently, is about the person's intrinsic character content that reveals their personhood. It is the very essence of a person that makes them a unique individual or virtuous being.Have you ever sat down to ask yourself what it means to be human? Every day, I try a little here and there to ponder on this for the sake of justice and equity for everyone who crosses my path. I often ask myself, what are the basic features or characteristics to watch out for to conclude the extent of the humanness of a person? Is it because one can talk, run, walk, and work or engage in intellectual discourse and co-exist with fellow humans? Is it because of our physical body structure? Or is it because we possess a memory that keeps details of our past behaviors?How do we want to differentiate or define a human from other primates, for instance, since many primates could perform some of these essential functions mentioned above?
