After reading a few of your articles, I re-realized my interest in self-development and Buddhism and the 'live in the moment' mindset. I now realize there are distractions that will pull one away from enlightenment, and though the person feels like they are growing mentally, they may not be. You got yourself another subscriber. Cheers, and thanks Solid post Jonathan. After reading a few of your articles, I re-realized my interest in self-development and Buddhism and the ‘live in the moment’ mindset.

Its more than just a good feeling or a positive mindset. It is really about the results. When I think that I am really growing I think about when I was a kid. When I was young and I felt I grew taller, or if I thought I could jump higher than I did the previous day, I would always test my feeling. I've taken that mentality so that my personal development is focused on results not just what I think or feel. Great post! Growth in my life is usually followed by evidence of that growth.

When I think that I am really growing I think about when I was a kid. When I was young and I felt I grew taller, or if I thought I could jump higher than I did the previous day, I would always test my feeling. I’ve taken that mentality so that my personal development is focused on results not just what I think or feel.

Great post!
