Growth and Development

Personal development and growth.

Written by Nicky Ojomo

When it comes to growth and development it really is personal to each and everyone of us. This is important to remember, everyone has a different path and is at different stages of their life.

I can appreciate that this is easier said than done, particularly for young people who are at transitional phases.

It can seem like everyone around you has a clear path and idea of what they want to do, especially career wise but this is not necessarily the case and even so, that can always change.

The average person will change careers 5-7 times during their working life according to career change statistics.

It’s worth noting that we continue to develop throughout our life regardless of age and not to put to much pressure on yourself.

Keep a journal and include all your accomplishments and goals, that way it is easy to keep track of your development.

Take breaks from social media and focus on yourself.

Research those you admire or consider successful, you will see that often their path was not so straight forward and remember comparison is the thief of joy, every step you take, big or small matters and your future self will thank you for it.
