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.

Living Life with Purpose and Meaning

At the very root of mental illness is the loss of the meaning of life and one's role in experiencing a flourishing life. We are divinely created to fulfill a purpose and make sense of our existence. God created us to live a life of significance through space and time.To get started, you may ask yourself, Why is my life worth living? You may want to ask yourself this question and expect answers to well up from the innermost part of your being. How do I deal with hopelessness and loss of faith in what I am dealing with in life? What is the meaning of life? These existential questions help you probe why life is essential and your place in it.

What is My Personality Type?

I recently came across a tool that could help me identify the kind of personality type that I possessed. The tool is called the Myers-Briggs Temperament Indicator (MBTI), which Myers and Briggs developed based on the work of early twentieth-century Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. Personality typing refers to systems that categorize people based on their traits, tendencies, and other characteristics. Other types of personality tests include The Enneagram, The Five Love Language, The Big Five Personality Assessment, The Workplace Disc Test, Cattell’s 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire, etc.

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.
