Some Facts On Personal Development And Growth

By Donald Flowers


As we grow up from childhood, into adulthood and eventually into old age we go through a process of continuous learning and self-improvement. This learning takes place with and without our knowledge. Instead of passively living through life, we would benefit much more from our experiences by participating actively in our own self improvement and motivation.

Self-improvement can be directed at virtually any area of our lives. One of the areas that it can be exercised is in the improvement of careers. Although some careers may look just like routine tasks, there is always room for improvement. The events that we encounter in the course of discharging our duties can be used as learning experiences that can influence our future decision-making process. It is only by so doing that one will get more skills and knowledge related to their area of expertise.

Relationships are a very important part of our lives that needs to undergo constant improvement. This can only happen if we first strive to achieve self-improvement. One needs to nurture a number of virtues within him that are central to the success of various relationships. These virtues include, among others, determination, patience, sacrifice, diligence and determination. Failure should be used as learning opportunities.

Another area that will undoubtedly require improvement is responsibility. As one grows older, it is expected that they will take up greater responsibilities. The responsibilities could be anywhere; in the workplace, in relationships and even at individual level. Improvement in this area requires that one acquires proper planning and time management skills so that they can work with limited resources.

An individual that wants to grow should never stop learning. The world around us is not static; it is constantly changing. The only way to keep up with the changes is to make sure that we keep learning new things. This includes things like changing the way we communicate, how we dress, how we interact with other people and even what we eat. Reading constantly will ensure that we remain in touch with the current events.

The importance of dreaming as regards personal growth cannot be overemphasized. Dreams are our reason for living. Whatever the age, everyone needs to have some aspirations that can motivate them to work hard. It is only through struggling to achieve these goals that they can make themselves better.

Improvement can only be achieved if there is a good environment. A good relationship with family, friends, the employer and colleagues ensures that one remains focussed on their goals. These groups of persons are also important in acting as accountability friends to ensure that one is always on track. They offer their support whenever such a need arises.

Achievement of personal development and growth requires that one understands themselves very well. No two people are the same and so it is of no use trying to compare yourself to other people. Once you know your potential you can set objectives based on how much you can achieve and to start working towards achieving them. Periodic evaluation of how much has been achieved should be done so that it comes out clearly where you are destined.
