Setting goals is a big step toward fulfilling your dreams. However, for some goals to be achieved, you will need to grow personally. Goals depend on personal growth. Most times, you may not notice how much you've grown personally to accomplish your goals until many years have passed. This is why you need to reflect on yourself from time to time. The role of personal growth and reflection on goal accomplishment cannot be overemphasized. As you grow daily, you will need to analyze your progress slowly until you have eventually reached a significant level. It's not going to be easy or automatic, but with proper planning and reflection, you'll be able to grow and become the person you want to be. Reflection doesn't need to be ones a month or ones a year: you can devote a little time to reflect each day. Reflecting on your day will help you to take note of your accomplishments and shortcomings. Tracking your progress is a good way to reflect and make personal growth. This is as long as you use what you've learned to improve yourself. People who lead a successful life make daily reflection a part of their lives. About 20-30 minutes of daily reflection before bedtime is ideal. You can use a pen and paper if you want to make it clearer. Some questions you can add to your reflection list include: What Should I Have Done Better? You cannot be fully effective in executing every task every day. There will be days when you will fail or make mistakes. During your reflection time, you can identify these shortcomings and work on them the following day. If you are working on your temper and you notice that you lost it during the day, analyze the situation and look for ways you would have done better. Could I Have Shown More Compassion At Some Point During the Day? Compassion is one of the best qualities you can develop as a person working on personal growth. This is because showing compassion impacts on you and those around you. Reflect on your day and think of ways you would have been more compassionate to another person. Work on this and try to avoid it tomorrow. How Could I Have Displayed Assertiveness More Today? Being assertive means respecting others while you stand up for yourself. In situations where you have been poorly treated, make sure you demand better treatment and respectfully defend yourself. Don't use aggression to make your point known as this can only lead to an argument that will not end. The balance lies in assertiveness. Being assertive will help you develop happy and meaningful relationships with others that will thrive on honesty. Irrespective of what your goal is, you will always need the help of others.
They will influence your goal one way or the other. So, it is essential that you make all your relationships mutually beneficial. Reflecting on your daily life is one of the best ways to check assertiveness. Personal reflection serves as a check for you to make sure you are on track to achieving your goals. A little time for reflection is all you need.
