Personal Growth: My Struggles with Being Open Minded

Being open-minded can be really tough sometimes, trust me, I know. Most of us are brought up with a set of beliefs and values and, throughout our lives, tend to surround ourselves with people who share the same values and beliefs. Therefore, it can be difficult when we're faced with ideas that challenge our own and, though we may wish to be open-minded, we may struggle with the act of it from time to time.

I'd like to say I'm a fairly open-minded person, but, like most people, I do have some pretty strong views about specific topics and find it hard to sway from those opinions -- no matter how others might try to persuade me. Of course, I fully believe that having strong beliefs can be a wonderful thing and I believe we should all stay true to what we believe in, but having strong beliefs doesn't have to mean having a closed mind.

Though it can be tough to do sometimes, I've always found that when I open my mind, I've reaped a lot of rewarding benefits. There is much to be gained from opening the door to your mind and letting new ideas and beliefs come in. It's a process, but you can do it.

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.
