# Don't dependent on others for your growth Created On: 01-16-2023 09:07 am Type: #note/evergreen🌲 Topics: [[Growth (MOC)]] --- You should never be fully dependent on others for personal growth. We should be enriched by external coaching, not dependent on it. The primary mechanism should be within yourself. Intentionally reflect, “what went well, what didn’t, what/how could I do better” and that is all you need. A dependence on external coaching means that we lose the internal compass that guides our direction - we offload that to others. If we’re dependent on others feedback for positive reinforcement or growth, we allow their opinion to potentially guide us against our inner desire, whether consciously or subconsciously. This must, however, be balanced with [[Humility]].
