The Major Issues In Personal Development And Growth

By Sebastian Parkson


As we grow older we need to also develop. We have to make it a personal obligation to improve the way we do different things. The only way that this can be achieved is by making the most of our life experiences. Each experience, whether bad or good, should be used as a guide for future decision making. personal improvement and motivation occurs continually over time until we die.

There are many areas in our lives that would require improvement. One of them is of course, our careers. This is something that we do every day and to some extent tends to become part of us. Rather than make just a routine to wake up, go to work and return home in the evenings, one would rather make each event in the work place a learning experience. This one thing that many employers wish their employees would embrace. In the end one is able to sharpen their skills and to acquire more knowledge as regards their profession.

Another area that may require improvement is in the area of relationships. For a relationship to become better there is need for hard work, determination, patience and sacrifice on the part of the concerned individual. Personal improvement should precede everything else. We need to re-examine the ways in which we interact with other people and to progressively learn from the mistakes we make so as to become better.

Responsibility is very crucial to personal improvement. Acquisition of newer responsibilities and ensuring that they are accomplished as per the set objectives is a measure of maturity. This applies to virtually all spheres of life including the workplace, relationships and in the achievement of individual goals as well. It is important to ensure that one has good planning skills and excellent time management skills if this kind of growth is to be achieved.

Continuous learning is one of the secrets of growth and development. With the world around us constantly changing, it is important to always be in the know. This will also ensure that you acquire new skills and knowledge that are necessary for survival in the world today. Some of the areas that may require one to make adjustments include the way one interacts with other people, dressing and eating habits among others.

A person that wants to improve themselves continues to dream throughout their life. They continue to hold aspirations that they hope to achieve at some point in their lives. The struggles that we encounter as we struggle to achieve our ambitions are what help to improve us. When we stop dreaming we stop growing.

To achieve meaningful improvement, there is need to create a conducive environment. Such an environment will only exist if there is a good relationship with friends, family, colleagues and the employer. Friends are important as they help us keep track of our goals. They also provide assistance when required to.

Since people are different in many ways, different strategies will work for different people. It is important to know what your strengths and weaknesses are before coming up with a plan. The objectives that you choose to be used in attainment of personal development and growth should be based on your abilities. Frequent monitoring of your progress is necessary to check if you are headed in the right direction.
