On the move – and why?

June 27, 2016 by Robert Houston

For many years I have worked to improve my circumstances in life – with personal growth being my closet friend during the journey.

I started my self-improvement journey with setting goals which tremendously improved my life circumstances mentally and physically.  However, I quickly found that as I improved my circumstances more demanding opportunities came my way.

It also became clear in High School that goal setting without personal growth was a formula for a life of frustration.

I don’t know why but all my life no matter the situation I have felt that I have been swimming upstream against the current.  Now that I am older and wiser I know this was a great place to spend my quality time. Why, because it put me in a position of growing and striving to get better no matter the circumstance.   Learning to live in a place that you are not comfortable  will do wonders for your personal growth.

I once read “People are anxious to improve their circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.”

Circumstance improvement plus personal growth equals movement from where you are to where you want to be.

Quote of the week:  “The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood.  It isn’t about becoming rich or famous.  It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.”  – The seeker

Word of the week:  Circumstance –   An event or condition connected with what is happening or has happen.  

Ask yourself:  Have you let the desire to move from an undesirable condition hinder your true personal growth; therefore, life happiness?

Speaking With a Purpose: “We help you bridge the gap between … Where you are verses where you want to be.”  Our ultimate goal – helping you become a better you!

Until next time,

Houston out!
