Personal development is about learning to become that person who you were intended to be, sometimes it’s never easy and yes it’s hard when you are no longer able to work the field you were trained in or a job you love. That is the hard thing that is life to some people. Personal development is about using what skills and talents you have and saying ok this is what I am going to work on and improve, this is what I need to improve and how I am going to work on such. Sometimes it’s takes a good friend to say look you need to work on this, look you need to work on that. I hate this resistance attitude that you are throwing up.
Sometimes it’s about an awareness of what you need to develop. At times it’s hard as guts, other times it’s not hard at all. When developing one’s self we must remember that often these are tests to see what we are made of, to see what we are going to put up with before we say no I am going to persist no matter what it takes. It’s about being willing to work on those hard things until no matter what changes need to be made with things.
Sometimes some people need to learn how to respect others and to treat people fairly, others need to learn skills in leadership, others it’s learning how to save money, it may even be things to do with a favourite sport which you enjoy. Everyone has different skills which they are destined to develop, one of the things I had to develop was learning to swim, that was something that I have been doing over the last 4 years getting stronger at swimming and better at it. It’s just taking time to develop that skill and improve.
There are skills in life that we need to develop and some of these take time to develop and build as a person. The best thing to remember is that everyone develops at their own pace and time, each person has their own developmental path. Some people take time owing to what they have to learn to do and how they develop. Unfortunately there are people who expect someone to learn and develop exceptionally quickly and push that person to develop at a pace that the person cannot develop at. Some people struggle to develop friendships, others struggle with money, and some people do not understand that everyone develops differently.
Personal development is about improving yourself in areas that you need to and becoming worth more as a person. It’s as simple as that. You have to develop the skills to advance in your job, you have to have knowledge of how to do things so that you can become a better person and advance in your job or role of life.
