Conquering Pride: The Tough Journey of Taking Action for Personal Growth

This is probably the toughest step on the road to growth. Why? Pride!!

Recap

Now that we have done the following:

Manage goals
Embrace Failure
Support
Stay curious

Now we are going to talk about taking action. Probably the hardest step.

Action

Now you have done everything and must complete the final step. Taking action.

That means that you will have to change what you are doing. You need to look at the curious side of things. Then, take action on what you decide to do to achieve that goal.

Yes, you will have to take action. It just won’t fall in your lap.

If you set a goal to lose weight and have tried different things, you change how you will lose that weight. You will have to step your butt up and change what you are doing. That is taking action.

You will have to stop

Stop eating junk food
Eating candy
Eating a ton of sugar

Start doing the following:

Eating better
Limiting sugars
Walking
Exercise
With a better mindset

You need to take action.

I can’t sit on my butt eating Hot Tamales and wondering why I am not losing the weight. Then move to eating ice cream to drown out my sorrows.

Pride

Sometimes pride gets in the way of taking action. You don’t want to admit that you can’t do it however you like. You have to do something different, which will hurt your ego. But that is the way the road to growth works. It isn’t just a lucky thing. You have to work at this.

Over time, you will be happier.
