What Are Coaches and Gurus Not Teaching You?

The amount of personal development content available out there is truly staggering.

And don't get me wrong, it's fantastic that people have so many wonderful resources at their fingertips.

I've taken advantage of many of them myself.

But here's something that many people fail to understand:

Continuously lapping up personal development content doesn't automatically make you a self-aware, emotionally intelligent, well-adjusted person.

There are no short-cuts when it comes to your growth as a human being, and passively listening to other people's experiences and reflections will only take you so far.

Aiming to bypass life's inevitable challenges by learning from other people's mistakes will only cultivate a mindset based on fear of failure and/or stagnation.

The most valuable lessons you'll learn won't come from a book, video, or podcast. 

Rather, your most valuable lessons will by hard-won by persisting through hard times, making your own (really big) mistakes, formulating your own solutions, making some more (really big) mistakes, personal reflection and self-critique.

So there you have it! You're now an informed consumer when it comes to personal development content.

Make sure to take those wise words with a grain of salt and know that the most valuable lessons will be your own!
