Deep dives
Step 1: See yourself the way God sees you
The first step in the strategy for personal growth in 2023 is to recognize and believe in your worth. By making and keeping promises to yourself based on what God has said about you, you reinforce your self-worth. Reading the Gospel of John or writing daily declaration statements can help in recognizing your worth. Surround yourself with people who recognize and remind you of your worth.
Step 2: Make a list of highest priorities
Identifying the areas of life that matter most right now is crucial for planning personal growth. Create a list of three to five highest priorities, such as personal and emotional health, relationships, career, and contribution to others. Recognize that priorities may change based on seasons and assignments in life, relieving unnecessary stress about less important things.
Step 3: Assess the current situation
Take an honest assessment of how you are doing in each of the identified priority areas. Evaluate what is going right, what is going wrong, and what is missing in each area. This assessment provides a clear understanding of where you are at and helps in setting goals and making progress throughout the year.
On this episode, Your 5 Step Strategy for the New Year, Benjamin gives you a proven and straightforward personal growth strategy for 2023. There is nothing magical about the ending of one year and starting of another when it comes to taking full ownership of life, leading your yourself well first, and maximizing your influence for the service and empowerment of others. Great leaders are focused and dedicated to this all the time. That being said, the start of a new year is always an excellent time to refocus, assess, and set a trajectory. Rather than having to stress over creating a strategy, Benjamin gives you a simple one that actually works, one that can be fully customized to your needs. 2023 will be a breakthrough year for so many of you and this strategy will help you get your heart, mind, and habits focused where they need to be.
