Why I'm So Committed To My Self Growth

Sometimes when life gets hard - when you’re feeling tired, less motivated, uninspired and dragging yourself through the motions - it’s normal to want to quit. It’s common to ask the question “What am I even doing this for?”

Especially when it comes to something like personal development that is so demanding… It’s so much easier to give in and stop fighting. You’ve probably reached that point, I know I have. Yet here we are. Why do you think that is?

I wanted to understand my reasons for being so committed to my self-growth and I encourage you to do the same. Because if it’s something that’s so fundamental to the way we go about life, there’s got to be something deeply meaningful and valuable fueling it.

For me, I believe that self improvement is the path to maximizing my happiness and sense of fulfillment. Moments in my life where I’ve felt the most alive and proud have been times when I was fully applying myself, testing my limits, and fully applying myself.

One layer further, I believe that my ultimate happiness and fulfillment comes from maximizing the difference I make in the world, and that my capacity to impact is directly correlated with the height of my self-growth. The more I squeeze every drop of potential, the more I have to give, and the better I feel about my existence.

It’s emotional. It all serves to increase the richness and potency of my life experience.

That’s what motivates me to make positive choices for my health every day - it gives me the energy, confidence, and mental sharpness I need to attack what’s in front of me.

That’s why I turn inwardly with curiosity - to explore my innerworking and understand how my biases and beliefs influence the way I show up.

That’s why I am constantly refining and optimizing my personal practices - with more effectiveness and efficiency I can create leverage and multiply my output.

That’s my reason, and I want you to reflect on yours. You don’t have to do this. You choose to. You choose to take the path of sacrifice, discipline, and focus. And I want you to uncover why because when you do, it validates it all. It gives it all purpose, and there’s nothing we desire more.
