The Science and Art of Personal Growth
Becoming highly effective at any skill requires two things; an understanding of the material concepts (science), and an ability to creatively apply them in abstract form (art).
Generally, poor decisions and failure occur because of two controllable variables:
- Over analysis
- Emotional complication
Over Analysis
We often slow or halt our learning process by over analysis. In other words, we do not allow our creative side to grow through abstract trial and error. The time spent researching and analyzing different technical aspects of the goal take away from the time that should be dedicated to practice…
The actual attempt and practice of a skill towards an objective has the most profound effect on your ability. Unfortunately, the fear of failure motivates many people to defer practice. The term used to describe this common affliction is Analysis Paralysis. It can take hold in any facet of life; work, play, or love.
Conversely, a true master of any skill does not think of how we will perform an action. It just comes naturally. All analysis is subconscious, almost as an instinct. This idea is called Flow.
Flow is synonymous with ‘being in the zone.’ You are fully immersed in the task at hand, successfully completing each goal smoothly. There is total peace of mind, the opposite of panic.
Emotional Complication
Almost all decisions people make have a strong emotional base to them. The best salesmen know this, and have developed skills that build rapport and positive feelings.
The ability to remove your emotions while analyzing a situation is an important concept in personal development. You have to set your ego aside and truly see the environment for what it is. Recognizing the motivation behind your own and others ego’s is very helpful in directing outcomes.
An action based purely on initial emotions is generally not the wisest. Often times a situation can be viewed in different lights. The mentality behind ‘is the glass is half full or half empty?’ idea.
Actively applying a positive frame on an experience also contributes to favorable outcomes. It puts you on a wavelength of success, pushing you towards your end goals, keeping you motivated.
The caveat to this is when people shift blame or responsibility to maintain positively feelings. If the fault lies on you, recognize it, then analyze the steps to correct it next time.
Becoming Better
When you balance these two variables correctly in your quest for personal development, optimal achievement can occur. This is the idea behind the learning curve.
Initially you must build a working technical knowledge base to make an attempt (science). After initial analysis and learning, trials can occur. This performance of the skill provides the opportunity to apply creativity and experimentation (art). Learning from analysis and experimentation is a very efficient method on your path to proficiency (personal growth).
Ultimately, the achievement of any goal is the commitment to get it done. The commitment to continued action and subsequent improvement is the basis for achieving your dreams.
You must approach it two fold… as a scientist and an artist.
Are you doing what is necessary to make your personal development dreams come true?
Very true. Skills are developed and improved by understanding scientifically what needs to be done as well as being creative to understand how to improve or fix certain aspects of the process. Without one the process is underdeveloped. Most people believe measuring IQ is the best way to gauge intelligence, while someone’s EQ (Emotional Quotient) is equally important.
