You need to spend at least 5-10+ hours each week on growth activities.
These includes
- Reading something that expands your mind
- Exercising to strengthen your body
- Forgiving others
- Speaking out in kindness
- Calling a loved one
- Etc
If you do this every week, you will keep improving every week.
Choose something that interests you and benefits at least 2 or more individuals. And ensure it harms no one.
Conversely if you don’t do so, that’s similar to just surviving and staying still without improving.
In some cases, say a person is struggling, it may be hard to dedicate 5 hours a week or more, but I recommend to hold onto this and push through.
These growth hours will help you level up in the direction you actually want to level up, as opposed to organic / reactive learning based on what happens around and to you.
