Realize you will walk some paths alone

Understand that you will need help along the way. But there will also be times where you will find yourself alone. Personal growth and goal setting are very personal processes, and no-one can do the work for you. If you want to walk the path to becoming the best version of you that is possible, get some hiking boots and a machete, because you’ll be blazing a new trail. This will be hard. You may have doubts about your ability to change, your worthiness of investing time, money and energy into becoming someone better or just whether you even want to do this in the first place. Don’t get discouraged. Don’t let those demons of self-doubt and self-sabotage ruin the work you have already done. Persevere! Survive the wilderness and make it to the promised land. The Israelites walked for 40 years in the desert. Their path took them a generation to find home. Don’t get dejected if yours takes longer than you’d expected.
