This piece was scripted last two years and the fun fact is I believe it still holds relevance today. Absolutely timeless!
I particularly designed this writeup for the categories of people outlined below;
It's a five-step approach to Growth, laced with personal quotes and action commands. Let's Gooooo!!!
There is a psychological phenomenon called "Negativity Bias". This phenomenon explains why we feel the sting of censure more explosively than the excitement that accompanies applause. There's always a natural tendency to get fixated on your blunders rather than your progress and this explains why the impact of criticism far outweighs that of compliment. I choose to term this our "Default Negativity" and it's all in the Mind.
Your Growth zone will of necessity require a "Deliberate Reverse" of your "Default Negativity" - Gifty Boatemaa Annan
Empty your mind of default negativity. Our minds are the most reliably brilliant creators of possibilities yet at the same time, the most destructive weapon the world has ever been exposed to. You must advertently unlearn all mentally entrenched faulty patterns in order to pave way for fresh thoughts of possibilities.
Take Action: Decide to uncuff your mind today. Should you need any help, I'm your girl??.
2. The Next Level Version
After Uncuffing & Unlearning comes Refilling (Lifelong Learning)
Learning as we all know is a never-ending process. The acquisition of a Degree, MBA or even a PHD does not put an end to learning.
In today's fast-paced world, there's a possibility of going to bed a "veteran" yet wake up as a complete "novice" due to the proliferation of information by the minute.
Each individual must apply him/herself to the discipline of continuous learning in order to gain an impressive stature of knowledge, skills & insight. This body of knowledge once housed in the right frame of mind, has unlimited capacity to produce incredible results in the life of the knowledge bearer.
"The right knowledge & skills once developed will thrust you into another version of yourself required for your Next Level" -? Gifty Boatemaa Annan
Take Action: Embrace every opportunity to be armed with the right knowledge, skills & insights needed for your Next Level.
3. Permit the Fallout of Weak Minds
By default, once an individual's mind begins to expand in the right direction, s/he loses such people as friends; those who have not undergone the growth process with you.

Life has truly assessed the verity of this statement: "Not all friends are wired for your Next Level".
But It's also imperative to note that their inability to take the uphill climb with you has no evil undertones.
Most often, it is because their minds have not leveled up and as such cannot fully comprehend the radical reality of change.
When such friends are forced to remain in your circle, you expose them to extreme mental exhaustion, which is tantamount to torture.
Bottom line: It's only fair to let them go without holding grudges.
"Change is brutal. Once it apprehends an individual, it disrupts every element deemed unfit within your circle" - Gifty Boatemaa Annan
4. Take Action!!!
Until the world comes to an end,?#ACTION?remains King.
No one is going to push you out that door to exercise or get in shape; no one is going to force you to read that book, sign up for that course or help you get that business off the ground, no one is going to stop you from eating junk food and of course no other person is going to force you to quit smoking or drinking alcohol. You can mess up all day, all night, all year long….NOBODY CARES!!! This is?#TheHARDTruth
Until the world comes to an end,?#ACTION?remains KING.
Nothing!! I repeat, Absolutely Nothing can substitute the experience derived from taking Risk.
Take Action Now: Quit making excuses & do what you said yesterday you were going to do today.
Until an idea swings into action, it remains unqualified for Maturity, Recognition & Support - Gifty Boatemaa Annan
?5. Sieve Your Subscribers
Once an individual begins to take significant steps towards a bigger picture, losing and winning is bound to accompany the journey.
In the process of time, your wins will attract more people than you may actually need - Be wise enough to?#SIEVE_THEM!!!
