Struggling to Grow? Make the Mindset Shift That Changes Everything
“Growth doesn’t just happen.” – John Maxwell
If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, the right mentor, or the magic formula, you might be waiting forever. Growth begins with a mindset shift. It means choosing to be intentional and planning to grow, rather than hoping it will happen magically someday.
Most people have goals. But:
- Goals without a plan are just wishes.
- Wanting without action only leads to frustration.
Here’s the truth:
Personal growth isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily choice.
And it all starts with one deceptively simple question:
👉 Do you have a growth plan?
If your answer is no, you’re not alone. So many people drift through their days hoping things will get better, but hope isn’t a strategy.
Accidental vs. Intentional Growth
There’s a BIG difference between these two:
- Waits for perfect conditions
- Hopes things will work out
- Operates on default
Intentional Growth
- Starts right where you are
- Gets clear, takes action, owns the process
- Operates with design
When you become intentional, growth becomes more than a buzzword. It becomes:
- Your reason for showing up
- Your approach to leadership
- The legacy you leave behind
Why Growth Feels Hard (And What to Do About It)
Let’s be honest: growth feels hard because it’s supposed to. It stretches you. Maybe you feel:
- Stuck in a job where you’re overworked and underappreciated
- Unseen or unrecognized for your efforts
- Like the world rewards shortcuts and punishes consistency
But here’s what intentional growth does:
✔️ Helps you recognize when fear is driving your decisions
✔️ Gets you out of the rut you didn’t know you were in
✔️ Breaks the pattern of starting strong but quitting early
✔️ Replaces passive hope with active daily habits
Action Step:
👉 Push beyond your comfort zone. Growth lives on the other side.
The Truth About Progress
“Consistency compounds.” – John Maxwell
Progress isn’t always pleasant. It might look like:
- Taking a meeting you’d rather cancel
- Having a conversation you’ve been avoiding
- Choosing discipline when distraction feels easier
Say yes to the things that matter:
- Return that call (yes, even the eggplant recipe one)
- Handle the tough client conversation
- Choose the podcast over the scroll
Why?
Because the payoff is HUGE:
- You start to trust yourself
- You build self-respect
- You shift from results-driven to growth-driven
What a Growth Plan Actually Looks Like
“When you work the law, the law works for you.” – John Maxwell
Intentionality is the spark that ignites real change.
You don’t need a complex strategy—you need a simple, consistent plan.
✅ Here’s what it might look like:
⏰ Schedule 15 minutes daily to read, reflect, or journal
🎯 Choose one area you want to improve
🤝 Ask for feedback from someone you trust
📅 Prioritize consistency over intensity
Growth doesn’t happen in leaps.
It builds quietly, through deliberate action.
