As a way to grow and self-actualise, what is it you want to achieve in life?
I invite you to consider those things right now and apply the OPPOSITE of what’s to come in this article. The insights from this article might just give you ‘the edge’ on what’s needed for you to grow, self-actualise and achieve some of those things you came up with through answering the above question.
Don’t underestimate this opportunity. For your achievement to be realized, try to come up with specific and measurable outcomes and conditions of satisfaction.
By the way, the following 7 reasons why people don’t grow, self-actualise, and achieve are just as much for me as they are for you, so here they are!
1. Unwillingness to be contributed to
There exists a certain type of person. This person cannot and will not allow them to be taught or coached in life. Ignoring or invalidating advice is actually their ‘payoff.’ They make themselves right.
However, doing this comes with a ‘cost’ that is far greater than the ‘payoff.’ The cost is indeed the fact that if they had allowed themselves to be taught or coached, then it could have led to growth and achievement. This makes the person a victim of their own choosing. Further, it may also be an aspect of the antisocial personality…
To sum up, I remember doing a brilliant self-growth and achievement course that, at one point, had something like this written on the blackboard: “Are you willing to give up the arrogant persistence of what you already are for the possibility of what might be…?”
2. Not hearing or seeing opportunity
Consistent with the above, what these people lack in their victimhood is the genuine realization that everyone needs support. Without this realization, they do not have the ears or eyes to hear or see opportunity when it comes.
3. Lack of intention and ‘reasonableness’
I wouldn’t recommend anyone to be too fixed and ridged on rules: Sometimes, it is necessary to let go of these things to ‘free the spirit.’ However, there’s a great opportunity to apply a set of universal laws for growth and achievement. They’ve worked for me. They’re called the laws of attraction.
The laws are simple but need to be consistently and persistently adhered to. The first one is called attention, and the second is intention: The more attention given to something, the more likely it is to ‘show up’ in your life. So, the greater your intention is to give something attention, the more likely you will be able to achieve…
People don’t achieve because of their lack of intention. Sometimes, this is backed up by ‘reasonableness.’ Some people don’t realize that it is sometimes necessary to make ‘unreasonable demands’ to really grow and achieve.
For example, I’m sure that several Olympic gold medalists had to make unreasonable demands on themselves along the way.
4. Not allowing
Allowance- is the third law in the laws of attraction.
It simply means allowing things to just BE. For example, if you fail to achieve something, just allow it to be that way even if it did go against your intentions, and don’t be affected by it: Keep that attention and intention going with regard to what you want to achieve. Stay focused, never give up.
Allowance can be difficult. Not allowing can lead to a breakdown in the application of the laws of attraction common to people who don’t grow and achieve.
5. Imbalance
Balance – is the last one in the laws of attraction.
This simply means getting the balance right. Imbalance means becoming the effect of the circumstances rather than having control of them. Obsession, anger, anxiety, and not eating or sleeping properly… are examples of imbalance.
6. Not seizing the moment
Through consistently and persistently applying the above laws of attraction, as I have learned, you sometimes have to be quick to seize the moment when it comes to taking advantage of what you have made happen. Those who don’t seize the moment stand in the valley of indecision, and while doing this, the opportunity disappears. Remember, it could have been something you had waited for a long time…
7. Giving up
Giving up goes something like this: The fact that someone gave up on something the first time makes it less likely that they’ll achieve it the second time. That’s because giving up on the 1st attempt reinforces the chances of giving up again. On the 3rd attempt, giving up is even more likely than on the 2nd. That’s because, now, having given up twice before further reinforces the want to quit … and so on, you see?
So many people, by the time they reach adulthood, have had it well reinforced and instilled into them that giving up is the only option…
Finally
Remember, the mountain you climb has no regard for how committed you are to your quest for self-actualization or achievement. It may be fraught with peril!

About the Author:
My blogs, along with the related alternative news website iNewParadigm.com, are about my belief that we can create a world that makes a difference for everyone.
I had graduated in biomedical sciences and worked for a number of years in healthcare. I am now a retiree. My website is slanted on health matters.
However, over the years, I have come to the firm conclusion that practically every subject under the sun needs redefining using more truthful, honest, and integral approaches in theory and practice, hence the website’s name ‘New Paradigm’
From these new approaches, from the ‘imagination of ourselves,’ from our visions… a ‘new era’ in humanity can result!
