What is life without growth and self-actualisation?

It’s only human to grow and change! The difficulty is, an individual who is living a life void of reasonable changes will feel stuck, passionless and apathetic. As we know, life is short, and that’s exactly why we need to learn how to make the most of it — we need to treasure every moment and value each sunrise and sunset.
In this post, we’re going to walk the path to personal transformation so you can start becoming the person you were always meant to be. I really do hope you put what we’re about to explore to practice.

Here are the five principles of personal transformation.

1. Appreciate Your Success

Do you know that acknowledging success fires up our commitment and enthusiasm? Most of us know this, but we happen to be too busy to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. Moreover, it so happens that we are always in a hurry to criticise and slow to praise, and this attitude is more evident in our relationship with ourselves.
In a world full of negativity, we find it hard to focus on the good, and that’s why we easily discount our achievements. Now, you should know that this attitude is very likely to affect confidence and keep you in one spot instead of on the path to greatness.
Try as much as possible to appreciate your achievements as well as the achievements of others — this is crucial. Once you start doing this, you’ll experience a significant boost in your confidence as well as the urge to achieve new feats. It’s not a crime to praise yourself — you’ll only get inspired to do greater things! And there is more to this, there are a few things you also need to think about that are self-limiting. Here are a few tips on how to be successful in life.

2. Learn Your Lessons

You need to adopt the habit of reflecting on your successes and disappointments — in so doing; you’ll learn important lessons that you can incorporate into your future endeavours.
There are two questions you need to answer at some point in your life:

  • What hinders you from reaching a particular goal?
  • What were the tactics and skills you used in achieving past successes?

Once you get a better understanding of the lessons and use them to get over excuses for failure, you’ll be fired up to succeed, and that’s what matters. Always remember that you are your own best teacher and the most reliable source of your own wisdom!

3. Change Your Limiting Beliefs

Have you ever heard the saying, “Attitude determines outcome”? Most people have negative beliefs about their chances of success, and that mindset keeps them locked in a tiny box that limits what is possible. It’s important to note that the right attitude and right action go hand in hand when it comes to achieving great results. In other words, your actions are guided by your beliefs. For instance, some people have the mindset that they’re not good at so many things, and that stops them from trying even the simplest of things. This is the limiting belief we’re talking about and you need to shift it, or you may never have a chance of success. Make the change now and create the new reality you deserve!

4. Live Your Values

Do you have values that you cherish dearly? What are you willing to go through thick and thin to protect? If you truly have such values, you’ll find that you suffer when you fail to live by them. It’s important to note that character is how we behave when no one is watching, and values are drivers of character. Try as much as possible to ensure that your goals go in line with your values — this is the way to true success and fulfilment.

5. Set Up and Keep Track of Your Top Ten Goals

Now that you’ve learned the first four principles, it’s time to set your goals! According to Zig Ziglar, the great sales motivational speaker, “You’ve gotta have goals; a goal properly set is halfway reached.”
It’s now time to put your personal transformation into action — it’s time to become who you’ve always wanted to be and make a difference in your world and beyond.

Get your pen and write up to ten goals that would make the upcoming year the best you’ve had all your life. Be sure to track your goals and ensure that you meet every one of them.
As long as you follow and apply these principles in your life, you’ll be transformed into the you of your dreams and experience what it feels like to be successful! Good luck!
