Personal Developement Definition

One of my huge passions is Personal Development. But what is Personal Development?…

Personal Development is the conscious effort made for self improvement and personal growth in all areas of our lives.

From the minute we are born till the day we die we all face different challenges. As a baby we are totally dependent on our parents for everything and we rely on them to make good decisions for us. As we grow physically, mentally and emotionally we become unique individuals with the ability to make our own decisions and to make life significant for ourselves.

However, often the “norms” and routines in life subconsciously bind us to a certain way of living. We are taught to go to school, then college, then maybe onto university. Find a job, get married, have kids and those kids will then follow the same routine.  This leads to many people being too scared to step out of their comfort zone, break the norm and follow their dreams. Our personal development will make all the difference in our world regarding the quality of life we enjoy, the level of success we achieve, the love we experience, and the purpose and meaning we find.

Personal Development is concerned with digging deep into your soul to discover your purpose, goal-setting that will stretch you and take you out of your comfort zone to reach higher levels and accomplishing dreams you never believed possible. It is about positivity. It is about gratitude.  It is about liberation!

Personal Development has had an amazing transformational effect on not only me but millions of people around the world. It has subsequently become one of the largest industries worldwide, worth over $70 Billion in the USA alone.

Over the last 10 years or so I have read many Personal Development or self help books. I have also been on life-changing personal develpoment events and studied home courses.  I have taken so much from these and grown as a person both mentally, emotionally and skillfully, which has made me much more sucessful in my money-making abilities and in my personal relationships.

Check out my list of best self help books and other Personal Development material recommendations.
