Let me define, for the purpose of this thread, what each of these modes implies…
1. Growth… you are designing and creating your life… you have goals and objectives that are supported by a set of plans and strategies of action… you are determined… and you are holding the world by the tail… (If you are in this category… please share your secrets of success with us…) |
I am in extreme growth mode. Which doesn't mean that everything goes perfectly. Growth does come with growing pains.
My secret of success is plain, old-fashioned journalling. I write regularly about my life, and also my goals, and my plans, and strategies etc. I also regularly review my old entries.
The main problem with many human beings is a lack of focus. They think they know what they want. And maybe they do. For a little while, anyway. And then they forget. And that is why they keep forgetting to do the things they should, in order to create the kind of life they want. Worse, they end up doing things which prevent them from creating the kind of life they want.
Journalling is helpful because if you do it regularly, it helps you to clarify to yourself what you want to be, do or have; and why you want that, and how you will cause that to happen. I should add that journalling is quite fun & exciting, because in the process of journalling, you will record and see, over time, how your big goals transform, step by step, into reality.
