MASTERMIND – 15 INVALUABLE LAWS OF GROWTH
Hey guys I’m Benita grace a second-year computer science and engineering student and I was part of the mastermind group studying on John Maxwell’s 15 invaluable laws of growth which was facilitated by Maxwell’s leadership certified Team member Mr. Balan Swaminathan. Who’s main focus is to help others become a lifelong learner and maximize their potential to impact their worlds through personal growth?
I personally learned to view things from a different perspective which was really a life changing process because it helped me get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to try new things so I can shape and become an improved version of myself, in that way, I can lead my life in a controlled manner.
It also taught me to surround myself with positive minded people who support you no matter what, people who have a positive life stance so you can learn from them because you can only learn from those who are ahead of you and find a creative way to move forward in life without being discouraged.
It also helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses to strategize my growth plan so I don’t put a limit to what I can or cannot do and add value to develop myself, as well as others.
Although it was hard to improve when you have no one but yourself however the struggle is part of the learning process, like it says ‘NO PAIN NO GAIN” so without struggle there’s no progress and you must start with baby steps, accept your failure and learn from your mistakes instead of just giving up.
One of my favorite quotes of all time is “If someone offers you an amazing opportunity but you’re not sure if you can do it, SAY YES and then learn how to do it later” so always seize your growth opportunities, work hard, make sacrifices, don’t compare yourself to others and start even when you are not ready, because today’s hard work is tomorrow’s success. Even if you can’t find an opportunity make it, BE INTENTIONAL which actually the very first law of growth is.
These were just some of the few core principles that benefited me to help me reach my full potential. So, if you need a change to grow to the next level or you need a change to take your communication to the next level that changes has to begin with you. Of course you can change without growing but you cannot grow without changing. I know Everyone talks but only few connect, so if you don’t know how and where to start, I recommend you start with the mastermind sessions based on the book by New York times #1 bestselling author Dr. John C. Maxwell “THE 15 INVALUABLE LAWS OF GROWTH” ,live them and reach your potential.
