SUPERCHARGING YOUR PERSONAL GROWTH
The more you know, the less you know. I am surethat's how you sometimes feel. You must ask
yourself the following question. What do I need
to get myself excited, enthused, optimistic and
in a discovery mode'
Maybe it's some mini-vacations, starting a
business, meeting different people, trying a new
hobby, or taking some exotic, exquisite
photographs. An S.O.B. is not the kind of person
who stays the same. She is always looking for
the new adventure or opportunity to turn her on.
It doesn't matter what you choose to do. It only
matters that you continue to develop and learn.
Whether you discover your new world through books
or the Internet, as long as you are finding new
things that amaze you, you are growing. You may
need some direction to decide what is going to
work for you, but think about a part-time
business, a new skill or a hobby that you enjoy
which you could turn into a profit making venture
of some sort.
You may want to volunteer or apprentice yourself
in a particular field. You may be thinking that'
s crazy at this point in your life, but I assure
you, if you find the right thing, you will enjoy
it more than ever.
Listen to the news, read the headlines on the
Internet, see a play, try a new kind of food,
watch a sporting event. All of these things will
produce a reaction from you-good or bad, and out
of it, you will develop new friendships and
discover a liking for something brand new. One of
the ways you remain interesting is to know a
little bit about a lot of things.
You're only limited by your own imagination and
thought processes. It's a wonderful bonus to
have help in this by other people who will joint
venture, mentor, advise and share, but anyone can
do it if they believe hard enough. If you are
really stuck, then just open up the newspaper or
community magazine and point! What is it that
appears' Is it an event, an article about a
specific individual, or are they talking about a
particular area of the country. Use this
targeted area to make your next bold move.
Participate in activities that stretch you. Go
to places that are beyond where you've been
before. Continually make new friends and enjoy
them for who they are, not what they might give
you.
You know what makes your day tick, so the S.O.B.
question is "Where do I go from here'" You must
have goals, dreams and things you want to achieve
in order to live an S.O.B. life. There are
certain things you must do on a daily basis to
survive, thrive, grow and develop. Those are the
habits you do without even thinking. But if you
aren't flexible, you will drive yourself nuts, so
have a routine but not one that's carved in stone.
