Create your own path by choosing your focus areas and deciding your own next steps. You are the most important person, the one with the biggest impact on your growth journey. It’s not your doctor. Not your spouse. Not your trainer or coach. It’s you! So why do we sometimes allow ourselves to fall into the mindset of just going along for the ride? In practice, this looks like you choosing your focus area and not waiting for someone else to tell you where to put your time and effort. What fits within your life and what you can do right now? Get specific and remember that Involvement creates buy-in. When you play an active role in planning your growth, acting on your plan, and seeing results, your confidence grows and you start to recognize all that you are truly capable of.
