Allow experiences to change us and prioritize personal growth: Focus on self-discovery and commitment to personal development to maximize potential for growth and live fulfilling lives
We should allow events to change us and prioritize personal growth. As author Bruce Mow puts it, "growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it." To truly grow, we must be open to new experiences and willing to be changed by them. This is especially important when pursuing personal goals or projects. If we focus too much on external metrics and societal expectations, we may limit our potential for growth. Therefore, it's crucial to approach experiences with a mindset of self-discovery and a commitment to personal development. By doing so, we can maximize our potential for growth and live more fulfilling lives. Remember, the world may not care about our goals, but we should prioritize them for our own sake. As the third rule of my mantras states, "do it for you."
Embracing new experiences for personal growth: Opening up to new experiences, even outside comfort zone, leads to significant personal growth. Considering risks and costs of not trying new things can outweigh initial discomfort.
Being open and vulnerable to new experiences, even if they're outside of your comfort zone, can lead to significant personal growth. The speaker shares how they've benefited from letting go of preconceived notions and allowing their experiences to shape their path. They emphasize the importance of considering the potential risks and costs of not trying new things, as the regret and missed opportunities for growth can be far greater than the initial discomfort. The speaker encourages embracing new experiences with a willingness to learn and adapt, and viewing them as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles.
Be open to new experiences and willing to grow: Embrace the unknown, be open to change, and produce personal growth by facing fears and learning from experiences
We should be open to new experiences and willing to grow from them. As Bruce Mau said, "allow events to change you." This mindset is not always easy, as it requires us to step out of our comfort zones and face our fears. But the rewards are worth it. By being open to change, we produce our own growth and live life to the fullest. This means going after things we want, even if they scare us, and learning from each experience. So, the question is, are you open to growth and willing to be changed? Embrace the unknown and live life to the fullest. Remember, the prerequisites for growth are the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them. So, be open, be willing, and go for it!
