Personal Development
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.

Life’s Adventure
<![CDATA[
Life is really one big adventure; we have to learn so many things. We are given talents as a person to allow us to perform our life’s work as a person. Yet part of the adventure is learning those things you need to as a person. You need to learn to become the person you were destined to become as a person; some people have to learn talents that are necessary during their life time. We have to learn those lessons needed which allow us to become that person we must become.
So we must therefore learn how to become worth more, yes also we must learn to let love in sure. Yet we must remember love is something we all need in our lives, when we are starved of love we don’t feel worthy of continuing. We may become depressed when love is stagnant and that is not easy. Sure ok we can love ourselves, yet some people need a lot more love then such. It’s part of who we are as people.
Life is such a big adventure we learn and have many missions or things that we have to achieve during the course of our own lifetime. We learn skills, talents and more to allow ourselves to become that person who we were destined to become. Sometimes you need to speak up and say look this is what’s happened or this is what’s going on for me. Sometimes we need to be able to go yes this is what I want and I am going to do such no matter how long, no matter what it takes or needs.
We must remember that we do not choose things we love; often it’s built into us. Often its part of who we are as people, how can someone have the love for someone else despite distance easily it was built into them as a person. How can someone be passionate about what they do, it was built into them. Its part of who they are as a person, each person has talents and skills which they need to use in their life. They have their natural talents and part of them could be unconditional love, yet it could also be that you are happy to accept kids as your own. The love we have for another person is already there. It’s a matter of using such.
Life has a very different adventure for every single person, although our lives are mapped out by what choices we make. We are essentially the product of our own choices, we choose who to love, who to support, who to be a friend with, you never know what’s going to happen or how. We can choose to say yes I am going to love this person until no matter what it takes or costs; essentially we are a product of our own choices.
Did we choose to run late, no we choose to do something which delayed us. Yet we may choose to never have an accident or to be a safe driver, we can choose to improve ourselves and our skills. We can choose to improve ourselves in many ways, yes life is about choice. We make the choice to love someone; we make the choice to leave them, to let our love die. To not say I love you, to stop being the person who you were when your partner feel in love with you.
We all have things which are part of the adventure and what we love, some of us our adventure is helping people such as my own. Others their adventure is to save lives, others are destined to build things, others are destined to make money and never have enough of the stuff. One thing you can always guarantee that there is always an abundance of is love for not only family, friends too. The adventure is many things, through the rough times we are taught the skills necessary to for fill our own personal mission. We learn those skills necessary for what we have to be in the future, we are constantly learning. When we stop learning and think oh I no longer need to learn something then you stop growing as a person. You stop growing and shortly after you will start to decline. The adventure is part of the learning, going to new places and learning about their culture.
Spending time with your partner and kids, spending time with your friends and saying ok it’s been a while since we last spoke lets catch up. Ah life is just one huge adventure. Live it, do not expect that you can learn everything from just doing nothing about such. Have fun and enjoy what you have.
