Hey there, folks! Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of personal growth in 2019. Buckle up because we're about to explore the four stages of personal growth, and by the end of this ride, you'll have a much clearer picture of where you stand and how to reach the next level of your personal development journey.
I'm Noah St. John, the brains behind FreedomLifeX.com and SuccessClinic.com. You might know me as the author of 14 books, including the latest gem, "Get Rid of Your Head Trash About Money" (and hey, you can grab that for free at SendMeaBookNoah). But today, let's focus on personal growth.
So, what exactly is personal growth? At its core, it's the exhilarating journey of becoming the person you were always meant to be. My own quest for personal growth started way back in the '90s. Growing up in a wealthy neighborhood while my family struggled with financial woes left me perplexed. I craved a better life, one filled with abundance, confidence, and success. I knew it was out there; I'd seen it in the lives of those around me.
That's when I made a beeline for the local library and began devouring books on personal growth, self-help, and spiritual development. From classics like Dale Carnegie to the wisdom of Wayne Dyer and Stephen Covey, I was on a mission to transform my life.
Back then, I dreamt of becoming an author and a speaker, but I had no clue what my message would be. I didn't want to regurgitate the same old advice; I yearned to share something new and empowering. It took years, but in April 1997, everything changed when I stumbled upon Afformations, a concept that would redefine personal growth for me. I've detailed this revelation in my books, including "The Book of Afformations," "Secret Code of Success," and my upcoming work, "Power Habits."
Through it all, I've realized that most of us go through four distinct stages in our personal growth journey.
In the beginning, we're like babes in the woods, blissfully unaware that there's a whole world of personal growth waiting for us. We don't even know what we don't know. I started my journey at the tender age of seven when I devoured Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Yes, you read that right - seven years old! At that point, I was firmly in the realm of unconscious incompetence.
Next comes the phase where we're fully aware of our incompetence. We recognize that we lack the knowledge and skills to reach our potential. For me, this stage came when I launched SuccessClinic.com in my college dorm room with just $800 and a book on HTML. I knew squat about running a business, especially in the early days of the Internet when online businesses were a rarity.
Once we've acknowledged our shortcomings, we enter a phase of conscious competence. We're now aware of our strengths and weaknesses. We can identify when people are pushing our buttons, and trying to manipulate us, and we can choose how to respond. We're no longer sheepishly following the herd but confidently making our own choices.
The final stage is where personal growth becomes second nature. Just like brushing your teeth or tying your shoes, it's something you do without even thinking. You've integrated the principles of personal growth into your daily life. But be mindful; even in this stage, there are still moments when you might need to remind yourself not to let others push your buttons.
Remember, you have more power than you realize. It's like that famous poem by Portia Nelson, "The Autobiography in Five Chapters." It beautifully illustrates how we learn from our mistakes and grow along the way. Have you ever found yourself falling into that same hole in the sidewalk?
