"What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. " Abraham Maslow.
The process of self-assessment can be a fun, positive tool that gives you control over your growth and accomplishments.
Who are you?
What do you love? What do you hate? What are you good at? What do you stand for? What do you believe in? What are you willing to fight for?
You are living out a story.
What role are you playing right now? Villain? Victim? Sidekick? Guide? or the Hero? You get to decide. YOU are the author, director, casting director, and star.
The Art of Growing Souls is the foundation for successful THINKING.
Goals are about BECOMING something, learning truth, and believing that your DECISIONS will determine your destiny.
The Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul
Wellness is the goal of a healthy, happy life. To achieve that, you need to understand the principles that lead to health in each of the 4 dimensions of your lives.
"When values are clear, decisions are easy." Roy Disney
Each day you live is filled with hundreds of decisions. Defining your personal standards gives those decisions boundaries and focus.
"We don't rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems." James Clear
Getting to the top of any mountain requires careful planning. You've gotta clearly define your peak, projects, and daily practices.
"Emotional intelligence can be the game changer to high performance and personal leadership." Steve Gutzler
Connecting the dots between thoughts, emotions, and actions is a life changing skill.
Things become Thoughts.
Thoughts become Feelings.
Feelings become Actions.
Actions become Results.
Dumbrellas block you from seeing the opportunities that surround you everyday.
Fear-based decisions are crippling. Doubts playing in your head will erode your sense of self-worth. Shame leads to all forms of self-harm. Blame will keep you in victim mode and keep you from playing the hero in your story.
Easy Buttons = Instant Gratification
Feeling better in the moment will rarely serve you well. Whether it's social media or substance use, there will always be a price to pay if you attemp to manipulate your emotions with easy buttons.
Growth takes time - and quitting won't speed things up! There are 4 keys to resilience:
Do the work
Own your choices - take responsibility
Ask for help - be teachable
Do. Not. Quit.

An essential part of being a healthy human is growth. We cannot enjoy happiness and peace of mind unless we are growing into the next upgrade of ourselves. This process requires a constant flow of goal setting and daily decision-making.
Studies show that the human brain identifies with its own future self in a brain activity pattern that matches that of a stranger, rather than activity patterns of its present self. This means we humans require very intentional and deliberate "thought work" before the brain will choose ideas and activities that serve the future self more than the present self. Since we know that daily decisions determine the success of any goal, it is critical to connect the dots between choices and the goal (future self).
The decision-making skills required to do this are not automatic for any of us.
But the good news is, we absolutely CAN learn.
Soul Grower programs help individuals become more self aware and emotionally intelligent, regardless of the disparities and inequalities of the circumstances that they may be experiencing.
Soul Grower principles teach critical cognitive skills for life, including:
Owning our life by owning our choices
Learning the difference between our circumstances and our thoughts about those circumstances
Recognizing emotions, understanding their purpose, and learning to manage emotions with thoughts
Understanding the fundamentals of healthy well-being
Connecting the dots between future dreams and daily thoughts and actions
Once these skills are learned, we see the world differently. We see opportunities we couldn't see before. And we understand and believe that any change really is possible."
It's pretty easy to attend a class.
If it's a good class, it's even easy to pay attention.
If it's a really good class, then it's not even hard to take notes or pass a few quizes about what you're learning.
But - has that information changed your life with a few notes or quizzes??
Nope.
Information doesn't change our lives unless we
STIR IT IN!
Goals. Decisions. Preparation. Plans.
What day do most people quit on a new goal?
It's Day 2.
Why is that?

A good thing about COVID - most kids know all about online classes.
A bad thing about COVID - most kids hate online classes.
That's fair.
