Personal development and spiritual growth is a topic that garners much discussion in the personal development realm. This is largely due to the fact that personal growth can be a very slow process, as it involves getting to know ourselves on a deeper level than we may have previously done.
Personal growth is also often a process that takes years to really bear fruit, and for the many who are stuck in the limbo of stagnation, stagnation is surely not a state they are happy with.
So what then are the secrets to personal growth?
And are there really any secrets to be had?
The answer to these questions lies in understanding our lives at a deeper level than we may have before. Personal development has to do with the state of our soul. And like all states of soul, personal development also has its highs and lows.
Our lives are at its height when we are experiencing the satisfaction of accomplishing a project that we have intended. But also at its height lies stagnation and suffering due to neglect and lack of discipline. And the lows can also be incredibly low as well.
At its lowest ebb, we are the victims of self-pity and despair, not from any fault of our own, but rather the result of how we chose to live our lives. And like the butterfly, we are a miracle of life that flutters its wings and yet lives in despair of never finding the soil it needs to be able to wing its purpose.
But we are not the only ones in this world. There are other creatures in this world who are experiencing the same process as we are, albeit on a smaller scale. And what makes this process even more unique is that there is a process that they have chosen to call life.
* For the creatures who call this process life, the process is a very different story. Unlike us, they do not choose a life. They are thrust into the role of creators of their life. And in so doing, they create and realize their dreams.
* But also unlike us, they chose their life and they are also a product of their life. They do not have to live vicariously through us, and so their life experiences have an effect on us. Like the caterpillar turned butterfly, they shake us awake and yet give us the opportunity to choose our own life.
* And so the secret to personal development is to choose a life that is good enough for us to allow our soul to unfold.
In the end, what we do not realize is that whatever process we choose to be part of, we will be a part of a chain of life. That chain of life will have an effect on all the others living in that chain. And that chain of life will stretch out into the universe and affect the others. So in the end, it is not just what we do, but also what we are that affects everyone in the chain.
