WHAT IS PERSONAL GROWTH?
Throughout history it has been called in different ways (Individualization, Self-realization, Discovery, Seeking, Being Self, Growth or Personal Development ...), but it is always the same: The human being, by instinct, seeks to improve, reach higher levels of consciousness, live fully, be happy, and have well-being and love.
Everything written above is the ingredients that make human beings grow and flourish as such.
Even when you get to be well, as a human, you feel inside that you could give something more of yourself, that there is a potential that can be further developed.
We have all been through hard times; In some, we have given up and felt that we did not want to move forward. The weight was tremendous.
But the desire for Personal Growth encourages us, gives us a hand, gives us an extra bit of strength and will, a breath of faith and optimism, and makes us reborn from suffering a little strengthened, which gives us the will to move forward.
WHO I AM? It is the basic question.
WHO I AM? It is a much braver question. It is reserved only for a few daring.
WHO AM I BEING? denotes a little more knowledge, having already realized some things, and is the preamble to the following:
WHO AM I REALLY?, including the capital letter. This is the big question.
Small growth advances are made almost daily.
The greats, only after the brave confrontation with the daring questions.
By saying “I am” in capital letters, the answer usually acquires a more “universal” or “cosmic” tone, which goes beyond the limitation of the body, because God also writes in capital letters.
While this universalist feeling is not achieved, it is the mind that answers “who am I?”, And does it with its usual thought, almost with the same response as always, that which is encased in the borders that mark the limitation that does not exist but we insist on placing.
Integrating the shadow, accepting it, and dispensing with educational enemies and interior conditions, is a very important advance.
You cannot deny reality, and the current reality is this.
Accepting who we are at the moment, even if we like it little, or we don't like anything at all, it is essential. You will never paint the house again if you don't recognize and accept that you need a coat of paint.
We all have a reality, and it is important to know how we have come to it so that we can retrace the Way as necessary.
If we are being as we are, if we have reached where we have arrived, it is because someone or something brought us - although now it is shown that in a wrong way.
If we discover that it was a bad education, this is a good time to correct it; if it was neglect or abandonment, this is a good time to take the reins of the government; if it was ignorance, this is a good time because now you know or have the will to know; if it was because they never thought about the importance of what it is to live in a conscious way, or the uncontrollable over time, or personal responsibility towards one's own life, or the love of Self, or the possibility of organizing a life that meets personal expectations, this is a good time because a light has been turned on that can illuminate the process.
Nature pushes evolution and improves.
The conscience asks permission to manifest without a clipper.
Life seeks its optimization.
The soul craves its manifestation and Growth.
Everything is in favor, collaborating each thing with its possibilities, so that at some point you abandon your abandonment and face the helm of your life to take it to the best port.
You cannot silence the cry that asks to be a better person, more complete, and with all the needs - personal, emotional, and loving - covered.
Be better, Be whole, Be more human, Be kind, Be compassionate, Be supportive, Be really as you want to be ... Internal requests are always for good. For your own good.
Whatever it is who requests the Growth, loves us. It is "something" that wants the best for us. It is something that knows that we can grow more. It is something that brings to light our forgotten or denied nature. It is something that desires our good, our realization. That you want our secret dreams and the requests of our heart to be fulfilled. It is something that contacts our most divine nature, and that prevents us from continuing to silence it or postpone it for longer, and proposes that we begin now, or that we put more interest if we are already beginning.
It is the voice of a conscience that does not want us to give up.
It is a fair and kind voice whose will is the best will.
Listening to it and denying it is refusing to be oneself, because at no time are we being who we really are: we are only being the most material part, the slightest, the easiest, the most dispersed, the least compromised.
Generally, we are going through life on tiptoe, living with minimal risk, so as not to harm ourselves.
And, on many occasions, we live in fear of this unlimited potential that we have sensed in us, denying ourselves the possibility of manifesting and enjoying ourselves in all our greatness, complying with the surrender to the routine and passing without responsibility for the days, while We know that within us - where we really live - there is a revolution that, if we listened to it and allied ourselves with it, would lead us to a kind confrontation - with the best will and with the Love for the flag - against this situation in that we are human timorates that deny their divine nature.
Our potential is virtually unlimited.
The warehouse of our possibilities is overflowing, and we settle for mediocrity and crumbs.
Discover us
Growing up.
Develop
Be who we really are.
Accept our divine and human nature.
Love us
Come true.
Fulfill our mission.
Those are the tasks.
I leave you with your reflections ...
