Greetings everyone, good morning to you all. You're all welcome to my blog.
Today, I want to reflect on my life,and I will be speaking on the topic growth a gradual process to success.
This is a community where we can reflect on our past and then compare it with the future.
What is growth?
In Personal Development: Growth means being able to improve in your knowledge, skills, character, or abilities.
I want to say that this is what has happened to me. The growth just came even when I didn't expect it. Few years ago, I was deeply depressed by some certain things .
Honestly, I couldn't share it with anyone because I thought it wasn't necessary. I carried the burthen for so long,and I couldn't voice it out.
I only smile while others were smiling because I didn't want people to notice it. Things continue getting worst every day.
So one day, I was heading somewhere with my friend, so I managed to share my experiences with my friend. She was surprised that all these while i've been hiding such a thing from her.
I told her I couldn't tell anyone,that i'm telling her so she could help me find solution to it. I thought she had a solution for what I was going through,but the truth is that she didn't have it.
She turned to me and she said,you can handle it, its just a matter of time. I turned back and looked at her to be sure if she was actually the one speaking to me,but the truth was that,she actually said it.
I tried so hard to decide what she meant by I can handle it. I asked myself,how can someone who is so confused handle issues she was confused about,but then I had no answer to that.
Few hours later, I went back home. So when I arrived home, I reminisced on everything she said,and then I noticed there was a might in me.
As day goes by, I noticed I was becoming more resilience than I was when she didn't say those words to me.
I began to face my fears alone,I didn't let those bad experiences change who I was. Rather, I determine to stand out and improve both in character and in my inner abilities.
Before now, I didn't know the abilities that were embedded in me,not until those words came.
Sometimes we need people who will point to our escape route. We might be at the edge of our breath through but we couldn't see.
It will happen like a dream, that what we've not been able to solve for three years,we could actually solve it in one week.
Ever since this incident occured, I've never stop reflecting on my past life. It was full of tears, disbelief and lost of self worth.
But if I compare my past life with my present life, I would say everything have changed greatly. I'm able to be strong and resilient even in the midst of trouble,and that's what growth should look like.
I've grown beyond limitations and doubt,and i've grown beyond setbacks. Indeed reflection is something everyone should do often in order to know if they have reach their target,or if they should put more effort towards achieving that which they've been seeking.
Thank you all .
