Personal Growth: Defining "Personal Development"

Berenice Mulubah

What is Personal Development?

After studying just about everything that has been written or said about personal development and success, I have come to the conclusion that the root of both is your level of self-confidence.
Self-confidence is the critical factor in everything you accomplish because, with the appropriate amount, you will try almost anything.
Many people underachieve in their careers because they do not realize the areas of personal development that can help achieve mastery in any field.
There is no substitute for hard work.  If you set a goal, make a plan, and work on it every day, you will see personal development and progress within your career.
There are no limits except for the limits you place on yourself with your thinking.
Commit yourself to lifelong learning. Even if you are at the top of your field, there is always something to learn.
You will become unstoppable and you will see your entire future open up in front of you if you live a goal and growth-oriented life.


Personal Development Definition

Personal Development is the process of improving oneself through conscious habits and activities.
It is the pursuit of personal growth to enhance the quality of life and to achieve one’s dreams and aspirations.

Be Strong and Give Your All

  There is no need to conform to this world. Do you and be of a sound mind, knowing that there is consequences for all of your actions.  You have to reach deep inside yourself and see what your strength are, and what you can  contribute to society.  The more you try to be what you are not, the uncomfortable and exhausted you will become.

We need men

am all about women empowerment. Matter of fact, it is safe to say, I am a feminist. But, when it comes to gender equality, is the scale balance, or starting to tip over? To have a successful community, a successful nation, we need both women and men to succeed equally. We need men to succeed; we need them to marry and raise strong children; we need men as much as women if we are to rebuild the family. Given the daily attacks on manhood in our media and our culture, the odds of creating strong, good men are ever shrinking. Unless we give the same attention to our boys and young men that we give to their female counterparts, the situation will only grow worse. Without a determined effort to raise our sons with the same sense of hope and aspiration given our daughters, to let them know that masculinity is as positive a value as femininity, to teach them honor, courage, and virtue, we will see even fewer intact families, an ongoing sense of hopelessness and despa...

Learning from my Wrong

I am incredibly hard on myself when it comes to being wrong and making big decisions in life. But, being wrong isn't as bad as we make it out to be. I have made many mistakes and I have discovered few lessons from my experiences. When I look back on my choices from a year ago, I always hope to find a few decisions that seem stupid now because that means I have grown. If you only live in the safety zone where you know you can’t mess up, then you’ll never unleash your true potential.  There is no reason to be depressed or give up simply because you made a few wrong choices. Even more crucial, you must try your best every time because it is the effort and the practice that drives the learning process. They are essential, even if you fail. Realize that no single choice is destined to fail, but that occasional failure is the cost you have to pay if you want to be right.
