How Do You Measure Personal Progress and Growth?

Keeping an eye on your habits (patterns or routines) in all that you do is one way to gauge your development.

If you didn't already know, habits lead to character that over time become your personality.

"The only person you can change is YOU. For everyone else, all you can do is impact their pattern of development. - Wilson Masaka, Youth Advocate and Social Entrepreneur.

#FeaturedPost The fear of change is called metathesiophobia. Here’s the thing: fear of change is evolutionary in humans. Our internal predispositions teach us to resist change mainly to always feel “in control” or “in our comfort zone.” But change is necessary.

If you’re not changing, you’re not growing. Heck, you’re not living! Strong traits then take root and begin to grow into character.

Our traits are driven and shaped by our thoughts. Our thoughts inspire our actions, and our actions define our character.

This is reflected in our integrity, attitude, moral fiber, and general disposition. All of these things shape how we treat one another, good or bad.

We can purposely change who we are by being intentional in how we make our choices, how we live our lives, with whom we associate, and how we lead or impact others within our social and family sphere.
