The Law of Intentionality

If you focus on goals, you may hit goals — but that doesn’t guarantee you growth. If you focus on growth, you will grow and always hit your goals.

8 Misconceptions about Growth That May Be Holding You Back from Being as Intentional as You Need to Be

1. The Assumption Gap — I assume that I will automatically grow
2. The Knowledge Gap — I don’t know how to grow
3. The Timing Gap — It’s not the right time to begin
4. The Mistake Gap — I’m afraid of making mistakes
5. The Perfection Gap — I have to find the best way before I start
6. The Inspiration Gap — I don’t feel like doing it
7. The Comparison Gap — Others are better than I am
8. The Expectation Gap — I thought it would be easier than this

How to Make the Change

The sooner you make the transition to becoming intentional about your personal growth, the better it will be for you, because growth compounds and accelerates if you remain intentional about it.

1. Ask the big question now
2. Do it now
3. Face the fear factor
4. Change from accidental to intentional growth
