Growth From the Outside In

...See more “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”- James Baldwin I want to reach into this quote. In my last post, "Growth from the Inside Out" I went over a key part of growth learned in the dimension of "Being- Relationship to Self". But, we are never going to survive in the world as good people, no matter how much we grow, if we do not have one thing. So, how can the world affect us for the better? How can it grow us from the Outside In? I have one word for you: Empathy.  Empathy is defined as this: "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another." Because the truth is this: we do not have to look into books to find people who have been through things like us, or worse than us, or better than us. Yet the thing is still this: that everyone is going through something different in life, and if we want to be good people we must meet people where they are at. We need to be able to know that you never know what someone has gone through, and in this treat everyone with the same amount of love and respect. To go to anyone at all and say: I see you, your experiences are validates, and I will never judge you for what you have gone through or what you feel because of it.  Two Questions/Activities to reflect on gaining empathy, and in turn care for others in this world.  1. Imagine you meet someone, and without knowing it fully, they have the exact same backstory as you: a past of pain, or healing, or conflicting emotional battles. Imagine they are at their, and in turn your, absolute worst. Have them pictured? Now answer this question: Is it safe to say you have met this person?  2. Now, mold this backstory, just a smidge or by a hundred miles. We are all walking in different shoes, you are always meeting yourself or a complete stranger who is at their best, or worst, or in the fragile stages of healing. Now, answer this question: No matter what someone is going through, how can I remind myself to extend the upmost empathy to them by putting myself in their shoes?  I hope you found this exercise helpful, and If you completed both, thank you! We are all just people who can use growth to make the world a better place, both by helping ourselves and others. :) ------------------------- Explore the Inner Development Goals Course here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/AcademyPrograms_2311/InnerDevelopmentGoalsCourse_318284/]

...See more “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” -Maya Angelou Hello, fellow forum members! After completing the Inner Development Goals Course, I have found great joy in all the skills it has left me with, most importantly personal development skills. To truly have relationship to ourselves, we must be able to recognize the areas we lack in and take the initiative and courage to grow ourselves in these areas. While it is good to grow and use the areas we already prosper in, there can be a line in the difference in life between self acceptance and remaining stagnant. True love prospers in  In the course, we learned of the 24 Character Strengths, and if you haven't already or are new to this forum you can find yours through this quiz:  https://www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths (the free survey is in the top right corner!  Question/Activity 1: What are some of your "'Lesser' Character Strengths?" Either from the quiz or just personal self reflection! Now, while it is amazing to use our greater character strengths to contribute to the world and our own lives, there is also amazing strength to be found in growing areas we know to be underdeveloped in our life. Staying conscious of these "strengths" ability to keep you stagnant is areas where growth can be plentiful. For example, if one of your Lesser Character Strengths is "Humility", maybe you can recognize areas of your life where you are being prideful. Perhaps it's affecting relationships, personal and at work. Perhaps it is limiting your point of view, and not allowing room for constructive advice and your own personal growth. Question/Activity 2: Now that you have identified your "Lesser Character Strengths." take a moment to reflect, and then write out the answer to this question: What areas of my life could the absence of one (or more, if you'd like!) of my "Lesser Character Strengths" be affecting?  Have fun with this, personal growth is to make us feel better about ourselves and, eventually, our relationship to the world! :) “Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.” - August Wilson ------------------------- Explore the Inner Development Goals Course here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/AcademyPrograms_2311/InnerDevelopmentGoalsCourse_318284/]
