If you’re discouraged with your rate of progress with self-actualization, remind yourself that personal development is a marathon, not a hundred-yard dash.
It requires making many changes over time in how we think and operate; and much thought and mental work.
Changing constant negative thinking is an example.
It is a habit.
And we can’t get rid of a bad habit, or successfully create a new good habit, just by willing it.
Habits, are the result of practise and repetition; and will not be undone (bad habit) or created (good habit) without repetition.
Either repeatedly not doing, or repeatedly doing, or both.
We can commit right now, today, to be willing to make what Tony Robbins describes as “massive change” in our lives.
But actually making the change we want will demand many small steps is a lengthy journey.

When faced with a major problem or a group of problems, it`s natural to look it up, to research it, to `Google it`.
Because, with the Internet in particular, we know there’s bound to be some answers out there.
But in self-improvement, acquiring detailed knowledge of personal growth principles is only part of the solution we need.
If we aren`t vigilant, excessive study of personal development theory can end up being a substitute for taking concrete action on our problems.
It makes sense to research the medical symptoms we have been experiencing, but it`s essential to see the doctor as well.
Reading or watching videos about how to write is important, but it’s vital to make ourselves write a few words, lines, sentences each day.
It’s logical to absorb as much information as we can about spirituality, but if we don`t practise it through actions, we are engaged in a superficial exercise.
Action is the foundation of any successful self-actualization effort.
