Just like the popular cartoon character, Shrek, we are like onions.

 

 

“Ogres are like onions, we have layers.”

 

 

Our personalities, our inner selves, are made up of layers, like an onion has layers.

As we work on our personal growth, we focus on different issues, major and minor, as they surface in our layers.

Our issues are not settled in our psyches in a chronological fashion.

We deal with old feelings, events, insecurities and hurts…what we call our baggage…on a very personal level.

It is all about our readiness.

Personal development (or self help) is just that, personal.  As you, the individual, work on your self and overcoming your old baggage, you will work on your issues as you are ready to at the time.

 

How do you know you are ready to work on something?

You will see it for yourself!  Whatever you are not ready to deal with, will remain invisible to you.

Then, as you keep working on your personal growth, different layers of your onion will be peeled away, and you will begin seeing issues you didn’t realize were there.

One of the best actions I have taken in my personal growth is in joining the Mental Cleanse.  I know I promote this group a lot, but it is with good reason!

 

I have been through the mental cleanse about 3 or 4 times.

I came to the place where I felt I worked as far as I could with the mental cleanse, so I stopped participating.

I still did activities to work on my personal growth.  I read motivation and self help books and I participate in other trainings.

These actions have all contributed to helping me peel back more of my layers until I was ready to see the next major issue holding me back in my success.

As I spoke to one of my mentors about my revelation, she told me to do the mental cleanse again!

Well, of course, I thought it would be a waste of time, after all I have participated so many times before!

But after talking with my mentor a bit, I knew the wisdom in her advise. 

So, today I will be on the mental cleanse call and I will speak up and participate.
