3 Powerful Self Improvement Tips: Never Stop Growing

June 1, 2011 by Gleb Reys 5 Comments

You’ve probably heard all the cliches about being able to do anything you put your mind to.  But is that really true?  Can you really do anything you want if you want it badly enough?  The truth is that while you can’t do everything in the world, you can probably do more than you realize.

There are many things in life that may seem out of reach now, but it must be realized that you never have to stop growing.  You must ask yourself what you want most in life.  Then set out to get it.

Appreciate Failure

It’s important that you understand and accept that you will fail many times when attempting to achieve any major goal.  It is the goals that are most difficult to attain that are most worth achieving.

Failure is merely a stepping stone on the path to great success.  However, it is up to you to decide whether you will take that next step beyond failure or go back to your humble beginnings.

Failure offers the opportunity to growth.  It brings with it wisdom.  It shows you a way that does not work and offers suggestions of ways that might.  Failure is a gift to the determined.  It is a gift that offers insight to a new world and a new reality.

Failure sheds light on a new area in your life that few would dare enter.  You must have courage to carry on in spite of initial failure, for subsequent efforts lie outside your comfort zone.

Stay Hungry For Success

While failure will discourage the average person, it offers new hope to those who are hungry for success.  This new hope lies in new-found wisdom.  Your failures are your greatest teaching tools.  They show you what you did right and what you did wrong.  By fixing some things that you didn’t do adequately enough to succeed, you will grow your power.

Your power is your ability to succeed.  With each failure, this power is tested.  The weak will turn around and yield to the power of failure.  The strong, on the other hand, will seize the opportunity to increase their power by adding to their knowledge and their character.

Build Strength in Character and Keep Growing

Carrying on with a mission after initial failure takes a strong character.  It takes someone with an inspired vision and an unyielding passion.  If you are going after your goal with a purpose, you will keep striving for the right path until you find it.

Remember, each incorrect path you take brings you one step closer to the correct path, as long as you don’t go down that same wrong path again.

Ultimate success in life is all a matter of allowing yourself to keep growing.  Keep adding to your wisdom.  Keep experimenting with new ideas.  Keep creating new visions.  Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself to experience all that life has to offer.

Though your greatest goals may seem out of reach now, you have the ability to keep growing in order to reach them.

    Great post! It is to the point. Expressed very good. Not too long, not too short.

    My heart understands that I need to accept failure. But my head is pointing all the time to the failure.

    Because failing really hurts ….

    A month ago I started blogging about personal development. I have experience about the subject for a long time, but writing about it is very hard at the moment.I accept this failure: it takes too long to write one post, to get to point, to express is in plain english, ..

    But my hunger to become a passionate and succesful blogger is very high as a way to express and make my knowledge about personal development useful for others. So I keep going on, learning all the time with failing, appriciating the failure and building skills and the character of a succesfull blogger.

    I decided I want to follow your blog, add value to your blog if I can and learn from you as a succesful personal development blogger.

    Marc

      Thanks for stopping by Marc, I think you’re off to a great start with your blog. Posting a new article on your blog, however long it takes, cannot be a failure – you wanted to share something useful and you’re doing it again and again – that’s the whole point of blogging.

    Bringing everything together about confident communication” – way beyond the scope of the average blog post out there, and I imagine so is the amount of time and effort it took to create it
