Self Development

Self Development is a LIFE-TIME journey.. NOT a ONE-TIME achievement. This can not be achieved overnight.

Personal development is the conscious pursuit of self-growth by self-discovery, self-awareness, self-help and self-evaluation.

In simpler words. It’s making yourself better.

Let me explain,

3 basic principles of self-development

1. Self-development is NOT something that can be achieved overnight: You might have heard about people are being successful overnight but what they don’t tell you is how much hard work and persistent effort over a period of time went behind that “overnight” achievement.
2. Self-development is NOT something you can achieve and then forget about: If you are not working continuously and consistently your growth goal is going to fall in someday. Lets say, if a company does not invent new things over time, it’s going to sink in one day. same way if you don’t water a plant regularly, it’s going to die.
3. Self-development is NOT your end-goal: The statement itself is self explanatory. There is nothing called ‘best’, there is always something to improve. so it’s life long process.

7 amazing benefits of self-improvement

1. Self-awareness
2. Purpose driven life
3. A constant source of self-motivation
4. Intense focus, higher efficacy and effectiveness
5. Greater Emotional Resilience
6. Longer lasting state of Happiness

3 NECESSARY ingredients of any self-development project

FIRST ingredient: THE TINDER

The tinder (logs of wood) needed to start the fire of personal growth is inside every human being with a beating heart and a thinking mind.

It’s the conscience of a soul that has been placed within us that guides us towards taking the first ACTIVE step of personal improvement.

SECOND ingredient: THE SPARK

Now that you have the necessary startup ingredient for lighting a fire of personal growth, how do you start the fire? In other words, how do you start your journey of self-improvement?

For that you need The Spark. This is the second superpower behind the driving force needed (self-motivation) along every step of your self-development journey.

It’s the purpose of your life.

THIRD ingredient: THE FIRE SUSTAINED

Now that you have taken a few steps towards improving yourself and lighted the fire, how do you keep the fire in a state of hot glowing flame?

Well, there are going to be hurdles in the way of keeping the fire lighted. The strong wind, rain-water or other forces of nature will try to put out the light and burn the logs to ashes.

How do we stay motivated on our journey of self-improvement?
How do we keep going forward despite the trials in our way?

The strongest sustainable driving force comes ONLY from within you.
It’s basically called “Self-motivation”.
