Getting better is an ongoing quest, it never ends, and it is limitless. However, it does require one important key to continue and grow, and that is, AWARENESS. We all want to get better, I’m confident no one wants to fail or move backwards in life.
Whether you want to be a better parent, move up the corporate ladder, or run a marathon, you will need to expand your thinking and your ability to grow, but you also have to expand your awareness. You need to be aware of your limitations, your capacities, where you would like to go, and once you get there, what are you achieving. If your goal is to run a marathon, are you aware of your physical limitations, your endurance level, and the commitment it takes to train and diet? Awareness expands not only on limitations but also on possibilities. Once you are aware of both, which path will you take? Will you stop because the limitations are too vast or are you going to take a chance with the possibilities?
If you want to be pushed to your limits, you have to train to your limits. You have to remove the restrictions that may seem permanent, become aware of the things you can’t change and direct your attention towards the things that you can exploit to increase your growth. You may have to live outside of your comfort zone to get to know YOU better and it may be extremely uncomfortable but being aware will give you lasting results as you are cognitive of the growth that is taking place as your journey progresses from point A to point B.
