Observe, Express, Practice & beyond …
Any time you are consciously trying to improve yourself, you are participating in personal development and spiritual growth. How you experience life is majorly dependent on your faith, the family you belong to, communities you engage in, real-life you experience, and your job or business impact or social influence and much more.
Personal development does not only limit activities that develop a person’s Capabilities and Potential, but such also as build human capital and facilitate employability. It could mean hitting a huge business milestone. Personal development also consists of improving the personal aspects of your lives such as mental, emotional and enhancing quality of life and the realization of dreams and aspirations.
On the other hand, Spiritual growth is to walk and grow in grace and knowledge of God. It is a process of awakening to your inner self, exploring the deeper meanings of life, and focusing relationship to God and deepening the understanding of the Word of God. As a believer, who has been through spiritual growth describes it as a greater sense of awareness or grounding, a new, broader perspective on life or a deeper sense of purpose. Spiritual discernment is a process by which God helps an individual reach the best decision.
By focus skills only and disregard the importance of spiritual growth as Christian, you would never reach the purpose of life, include the process of “Living in the world, Not of the World”. Focusing solely on intellect and knowledge without emphasizing practical application will not lead to significant growth; on the contrary, it may increase the likelihood of exposing the hypocritical and corrupt aspects of human nature. In fact, both personal and spiritual growth must work side-by-side.
Lastly, It also applies to your career, your both private and public life, or the journey you take, the choice of your free will, and your competency and potential become a more well-rounded, productive individual. The growth takes place over the course of an individual’s entire lifespan. Our mission lies in the quest to bring out the best in humanity under the grace of God. What is your purpose of life, and perhaps, what does it mean to move forward?
