I believe nothing in self-growth has to be hard and complex. You can sit in silence, you can look inside yourself with wide open eyes, and you will "see", or feel, precise wisdom you need at that exact moment. It's not always exactly what we want to hear - in fact, often it's not, so we refuse to accept it - but sometimes that's what self-growth is about, that's what we really need to bring ourselves to next level. That being said, it's easier sometimes to face a book, or another person, than it is to truly face and accept ourselves. And let's acknowledge fact that we often prefer complicated answers, and techniques.

"Self-sabotage" is a strong word... What I tried to convey with provoking title is that, at some point, energy we dedicate to self-growth resources may better serve us (in terms of self-growth) if we invest it elsewhere: in introspection... in basic down-to-earth actions... in meditations... or maybe in fun things... Sometimes we have an endless to-do list that causes us major stress, and instead of simply doing what must be done, we will read a book on relaxation, do yoga, or else... Sometimes we are a little gloomy, we just need to loosen up, laugh, and have fun... but we will attend a workshop on a subject we think will provide us answers. Not that it won't! Obviously, none of this is "bad" - sometimes it may even be most constructive things to do... but what I'm highlight here is that sometimes, it may not. Finally, I guess my point is: "self-growth can be everything, you have access within yourself to all wisdom there is, and you are magnificent beyond what you can imagine".

Next train yourself to focus only on positive. In your mind SEE your-self living life you want, SEE car you want to drive, SEE house you want to live in, SEE good you plan to do with your success, SEE yourself living life you want to live. FEEL how it feels to live life you want to live. The mind is a powerful force. Thoughts are powerful. You will have what you THINK. If you think I will “try” to achieve my goals, that is paramount to thinking “I might fail”. Understand there can be NO possibility of failure in your thoughts or in what you speak. Pay attention to your thoughts and words. Banish all negativity. Focus and Believe with all your might in your success. Every night before you go to bed write in your success journal. List what you accomplished that day to move you toward your goal and specify what you are going to do next day to move toward your goals. Take daily action to achieve your goals. Be persistent.

To recap:

1. Make decision to live life you want. 2. Focus on what you wish to achieve. 3. Believe you can have life you want. 4. Take action EVERYDAY to achieve your life goals.

The possibilities for your success are limitless because they are within you. Hang in there. Persevere. Think positive. Take daily persistent action to achieve your dreams and success will come to you.
