The Personal Growth Manifesto  By Garrett Davis 

As individuals concerned with personal growth, we think often of our futures, yet find value in staying in the present moment. We have dreams, ambitions, goals, and most importantly, well thought out plans. We are forward thinking people. To us, complacency is simply not an option, and we refuse to be bound by the limitations of a finite mind-set. We’ve accomplished much in our lives, and we enjoy taking a moment to appreciate all of the people, places, things and events that have helped up along the way. We realize that from seeming misfortunes spring valuable life lessons. We always learn from our mistakes and do everything we can to avoid making the same one twice. We know nothing of boredom, as our curiosity and enthusiasm keeps us continuously interested. Though we sometimes blithely wish for more hours in the day, we know that our time management skills account for our efficacy. We are audacious goal setters who refuse to be bound by popular limitations. We think about what we can do, not about what we can’t do. We think things out thoroughly, and also specialize in quick decision-making. As effective as we are at planning, we’re even better at sticking to a plan, so long as it’s a good one. We’re quick to make necessary revisions. We seek the company of positive, like-minded individuals, and realize that the others can’t bring us down so long as we refuse to permit them too. Our optimism acts like a powerful magnet in attracting the people, places, things and events that will be of value to us. We know that our mind-set is of the utmost importance, and we continuously strive to keep it in the best shape possible. We routinely perform the mental maintenance required to keep ourselves positive in our thoughts. We realize that a positive thought is infinitely more powerful than a negative thought. We know nothing of self-pity. We find much value in the written word. We have minds that are open to everything and closed to nothing. We keep our bodies in tiptop condition to the best of our abilities, and are thus mindful of what we put into them. We appreciate moderation as being the key to life. We wake up early each day full of optimism, ready to have the best day of our lives. We do not search for happiness, we create it. Our accomplishments don’t make us happy, rather, we are happy and we accomplish.
