I had a thought about personal growth and development when I ran across this optical illusion of the old witch / young woman …
It got me thinking about how we should always be sure to look at situations from every possible angle.
Let me give you an example.
For years and years, I wanted to get married and start a family, but I couldn’t find the perfect person to be my wife. I had this long list of all the qualities I wanted my future wife to have, and I looked aggressively. I went on countless blind dates, I bugged all of my friends to set me up with someone, I left no stone unturned.
But I couldn’t find anyone who fit my criteria.
And then I took a step back and analyzed the situation from a personal growth and development angle. Instead of making a list of all the things I needed in a wife, I turned the question around and I asked myself: “Who do I have to be to attract that woman? What kind of man gets that kind of wife? What are his habits?”
And when I started thinking about it from that angle, it changed everything from a personal growth and development point of view. I started fixing the behaviors that were stopping me from finding the perfect wife. I very conscientiously filled in the gaps.
And then I met Lily at a conference. And as I think I’ve told you before, Lily is the perfect fit for me. She’s exactly what I was looking for, and I made myself available to her by filling in the gaps and the holes in my own behavior.
This week, I’m challenging myself by looking at my goals from a different angle. Want to join me? If you are trying to lose weight, think: “What kind of a person looks the way I want to look? What are his or her habits?”
If you want to land the perfect job, ask: “What kind of person has that job? What are his or her habits?”
Leave a comment and tell me about it. Take a look at yourself and consider what you need to do from a personal growth and development point of view? How are you going to start changing your behavior and filling the holes and the gaps?
