Growth is mistake acceptance in action
Swallow that ego Biatch
Growth always doesn’t mean moving forward. Sometimes growth means acknowledging your mistakes instead of learning something new.
Growth usually happens when you acknowledge your mistakes. When you acknowledge those parts of you which are holding you back from achieving your true potential.
Growth hindrance can be due to people, due to underlying issues, trauma, and fear of change.
The faster we find why our growth is being hindered, the better. It’s better to be a person who acknowledges their mistakes than to be a person who thinks they have done no mistakes.
To err is to be human, I guess.
There are too many articles about how to grow as a person, how to grow on social media, how to grow your plants, your life, your ting, everything, and anything.
Growth signifies that you have achieved success.
Growth signifies that you have overcome hurdles and obstacles to reach where you are.
Growth and mistakes cannot be without each other.
The amount of times I have rolled my eyes whenever someone told me failure is the stepping stone to success is just too many times. If only they had told me success and failure go hand in hand. Success and failure are the parents that foster growth. If only.
The only way to grow is to acknowledge that you are at your lowest lows, that you have done mistakes.
It’s harder to grow when you are the best at what you do and when you are in the top 1 percent.
Your ego prevents you from accepting the mistakes that you do commit, or worse, the slightest mistakes affect your ego deeply. To prevent this from happening, it is better to surround yourself with people who are better than you but also support you and make sure you don’t end up competing with them.
This way, you end up growing as they help you identify your mistakes, and you do not feed your ego as well.
Why does anyone want to grow?
Self-worth.
People want to grow so that they can prove to themselves and others they are capable of something. But there is no correct metric to measure growth and self-worth, so people tend to measure themselves with the wrong metric and believe they have not grown as a person.
The worst metric to measure growth is through comparison.
Comparing yourself to others leads to self-hate. You are in constant competition. You do not congratulate yourself because you feel your competitor has done better.
The correct way to measure your growth is to see yourself a year ago and right now.
If companies measured their annual profit by comparing themselves to their peers, most of the companies would be at loss. Companies measure their profit by comparing it to the last quarter, and not the last quarter of their peers. I advise you to do the same.
As long as you make mistakes, you have the time and place to grow. You just gotta pinch your ego in the butt and accept the mistakes you have committed. Do know it is okay to take help.
Be humble, fraans. Don’t be the baddy.
With that bad English, I would like to bid you adieu.
