Men are anxious to improve their
circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain
bound. The man who does not shrink from self–crucifixion can never fail to
accomplish the object upon which his heart is set.
- James Allen
What is Self-Development?
Personal development is the
conscious, disciplined, and sustained series of investment in the self through
the acquisition of knowledge and skills, as well as the application of the
acquired knowledge and skills for an enhanced lifestyle.
Areas of Personal Development
The development of the self is as
composite an entity as the very nature of man. It consists of various
interdependent aspects of human, which all work together to produce a better
person when cultivated, or result in a debased existence when ignored.
The different aspects of man open to
cultivation for development are his:
Ø Spiritual state
Ø Mental state
Ø Emotional state
Ø Physical state
Ø Social status, and his
Ø Professional/vocational performance
If you want to be wealthy and happy,
learn this lesson well: learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your
job. - Jim Rohn
