The Growth Journey 👉❓In which zone are you now? Many people are afraid to leave their comfort zones: But did you know there are three additional zones: Fear, Learning, and Growth? In order to grow, you should traverse all of them. But let's first define each zone: 1) Comfort Zone: We stick to what's familiar and predictable. It's where we feel comfortable and in control. We avoid discomfort and anxiety, preferring routine and stability. 2) Fear Zone: Just beyond comfort lies the fear zone. This zone is essential for overcoming limitations. Here, we confront our anxieties and uncertainties. 3) Learning Zone: Here, fears are conquered. We actively seek new experiences and skills. We embrace challenges and learn from mistakes. 4) Growth Zone: Our growth zone is where our mentality changes. We learn to face our fears and limitations head-on. It's the zone of our transformation and endless growth potential. Everyone should strive to reach the growth zone. These steps can help: 1. Stay Persistent: Maintain determination. 2. Embrace Failure: View setbacks as learning. 3. Set Goals: Define clear objectives for growth. 4. Build Resilience: Develop coping mechanisms. 5. Identify Fears: Recognize what holds you back. 6. Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge each step forward. 7. Take Small Steps: Start with manageable challenges. 8. Learn Continuously: Absorb insights from experiences. 9. Seek Support: Surround yourself with encouragement. 10. Repeat and Expand: Keep pushing boundaries for growth. Take advantage of those points: And grow beyond limits! ------- Source 🙏 Business Infographics by Igor Buinevici #innovation #GrowthMindset #success #entrepreneur #startup

Until her recent retirement at the age of 100, Betty Reid Soskin was the oldest living park ranger in the US National Park Service. She gave bi-weekly lectures at the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Park in Richmond, California, telling the story of the Bay Area’s pioneering role in desegregation. After one of her lectures, Betty agreed to be photographed. At first, she wanted to keep her trademark sunglasses on, then she relented and proceeded to look straight into the lens for the entire shoot. Afterward, I watched her climb a flight of stairs faster than I could, which really gave me pause.
