Deliberate Personal Development

"Acquire what develops you, not what drains you."

Personal development is a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals in order to realise and maximise their potential.

Personal development is a lifelong process; not a momentary incidence; it requires deliberateness and planning. 
 
In planning, it is essential to be specific, strategic, and diligent to follow through. For any living thing to grow and develop, it must feed on certain things, which essentially includes food, water and air. If you will become a better person progressively, you have to cultivate the culture of acquiring and consuming what will enhance your development.

If you don't make efforts towards becoming better, you may resultantly become bitter about the success of those who invested in their self improvement.

If I may ask, Do you have a personal development plan? If yes, that's fine. But if no, you need to begin to work out that. 

Here are a few tips to personal development:

1. Self acceptance: accept the reality of your personality and the need for you to change progressively.

2. Set realistic goals: draw a plan of things you want to do, with targets.

3. Expand your circle: increase your network with people who can add value to you. Attend seminars, conferences, and socialise with people.

4. Keep learning: consistently acquire knowledge; learning has no end. Read books, seek relevant information, and utilise them. 

5. Get a mentor: a mentor will guide, help you to discover and develop your potentials faster than you probably can.

6. Surround yourself with like minds. Like minds sharpen, unlike minds make blunt and drains. Friendship is an acquisition, if it does not add value to you, then you are being drained.

Be Real

"Let your emotions and expressions be true colours of your intentions" Deceit is an act of deceiving. A deceiver is a misleader. Where deception thrives, destruction looms. Deceit is a crooked means to any end. Success may come by deceit but it will neither be honourable nor durable. Whatever is not achieved on the basis of truth is not glorious. Therefore, don't be a deceiver or pretender, face life headlong and make sensible outcomes of it. Great men don't live fake lives, they are rather real.  Pretenders don't maximize potentials. Be true to yourself and live truly. Don't paint an image of whom you are not to others, because time will tell whom you truly are. Hypocrisy will end you up a nonentity. If you truly mean it a business to be great, then you have to approach life with every sense of seriousness and self originality.  You have to be real. Stop living a fake life. As long as you are fake, you can not focus on doing what is required to be...

Digits of Diligence

The wise love work and work diligently. To the wise, work is an opportunity to shine, the fool takes it as a medium of oppression. To be hardworking is to take work seriously and do it well and rapidly. A diligent fellow performs with intense concentration, focus, and responsible regard.

Diligence is a personal responsibility which is developed and sustained by discipline. Discipline is indispensable. The wis...

Discernment For Direction

Image
"Discernment is essential for gaining direction and making guided decisions." The advent of a special or new season is often heralded by quiet yet significant events, unusual challenges (including temptations), and seemingly lonely exposures. Navigating this phase requires cultivating a regulated mind in solitude and developing sensitivity to discern divine intentions and directives. This discernment is crucial for identifying the necessary consecrations and sacrifices required to successfully transition from an old season to a new level of glory. #Discernment #Sensitivity #WisdomForLife #PurposefulLiving
