Explore Personal Growth

For me, personal growth isn’t constant, unwavering optimism. It isn’t brushing the struggles and painful truths under the carpet in pursuit of happiness. It isn’t about feeling superior to everyone else because I think I’ve cracked the code.

So, what the hell is it?

For me, personal growth is about being aware. About being conscious of our choices, how we react, and the energy we emit. It’s about staying true to ourselves whilst also being open and curious. In other words, growing, by learning to accept reality whilst also stepping out of our limiting beliefs.

I am by no means an expert in this field. I am becoming more and more invested in it, however. Life is too damn precious to not make the most of all that we are. We have come too far as a species to allow our primitive minds to still govern our choices, especially with regard to things most important to us.

The concepts in this section are carefully picked, well researched and resonate with me because I put these sentiments into practice during crucial moments and they help. Like most people, I have much to be angry, disillusioned and insecure about. Some of it by virtue of my complicated personality traits, some due to childhood suffering and some due to circumstances out of my control.

But I’ve recently decided I will try better to not allow these feelings to hover or dictate my sense of peace or inner confidence.

And I hope you don’t feel you have to either. This is why, this part of Mists and Melts is dedicated to offering you a helping hand in allowing you to pave your own path to personal growth, on your own terms, towards a greater inner freedom.
