The Power of Self Development

October 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There was a time, not so long ago, when self-development was something you did at the beginning of your life and career. For example, someone would study accountancy, become an accountant and develop their craft within the first few years and then settle down to a regular job for the next 30 years until retirement, experiencing little in the way of new learning. Make no mistake; those days have gone.

The first point about self-development is that it is not an option but an essential survival skill. Just imagine now, if you couldn’t use a computer; you’d be at a distinct disadvantage. If somebody said, ‘I’ll email you’ and you replied that you didn’t have a computer because you never learnt how to use one, it would seem very strange. So, if you are not at leasnot at least keeping up with mainstream trends, it is very difficult to participate in society or business. Therefore, for self-development, the minimum standard is just to keep up. As people get older, this becomes harder and maybe the desire, weaker; all the more reason to fight this lazy inclination.

But what about the ‘power’ of self-development?

Self-development opens up a world of possibilities. An important point is that if it is self driven, you can feel encouraged by your own motivation and gain a sense of pride when you have achieved something – ‘I did that!’ This in turn makes you more confident and more willing to take on new challenges

Next, self-development provides the key to doors that were previously locked. Say you learnt French; you could go to France and converse with the natives! It would be a different experience to being a tourist limited to a ‘Oui’ or ‘Merci.’ Beyond that, not only would it open up one door but provide a path to other areas. Perhaps you could read a classic French writer in French and gain a new perspective on a work. In so doing, you would pick up yet more words that would enrich your vocabulary and understanding of the language.

But the exponential curve doesn’t stop there!

Having learnt French, you are likely to find it easier to learn another language, particularly of the same family such as Spanish or Italian. You will have acquired language learning skills, an understanding of grammar structures and a knowledge of related words, so your learning will be faster and easier.

Nor does it stop there!

The exponential self-development rocket continues on its journey because it has now become unstoppable. Above all, you will have developed the learning habit and you will naturally assume that there will be new things to learn each day – not just languages. When confronted with an ‘I don’t know situation,’ your default will have switched from, ‘therefore there’s nothing I can do,’ to ‘but I’ll find out.’ It will not give you the supreme power to solve every problem, play a piano concerto or repaint the Sistine chapel but it will carry you into surprising new valleys that a few years previously, were unimaginable.

To return to a practical work environment, you won’t be the training course bore who’s seen it all before and is determined to come away empty handed but someone who is able to gain something and make a contribution to the day because the true power of self-development is that once you have developed this mindset within yourself, you can pass on your knowledge, processes, enthusiasm and this gift to others. That’s pretty powerful!

Self Development by Attraction

October 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Tiny changes will yield huge results, by merely changing your thinking, you will change your mindset, your habits and actions. Through the Power of Positive Thinking and the Law of Attraction, you can “attract” the financial and personal freedom that most only dream about. It really boils down to attitude and tapping in to the massive reserve that is your subconscious.

Be honest with yourself and answer these questions. What Do I Want? What Am I Going To Do About It?
How Will I Know When I’ve Got It? These are simply answered when we detach ourselves from any outcome and merely stay in the now. Enjoyment and gratitude of where we are and what we are doing will attract more that will give us enjoyment and gratitude.

Now that you have learned to conceive, believe and you can achieve. It is the psychology of excellence, develop your natural confidence, your self esteem and realize what a diamond you really are.

Using the power of thought, you can literally create a reality that mimics your innermost dreams and aspirations. You can create happiness, abundance and even good health.

Thinking creates an image, images control feelings, feelings create actions and actions create results.
Thoughts Do Become Things, Choose Wisely. There is one original formless “stuff” or substance from which all things are made. This “stuff” is thinking “stuff” a thought held in it produces form of thought and man does create what he is thinking about.

Nothing is created by man without a thought first. As the Bible says, “As a man thinketh, so shall he be”.
By becoming a master of your mind you will lose all doubt and fear, for you will know that you can create what you want to create, you can get what you want to have and you can become what you want to become.

BE, DO,HAVE. With all the manifesting, believing and faith, you still have to do. For as “Faith Without Works Is Dead” so it is with the

Having answered your questions, you know your direction and you have clarity of purpose. Align with your purpose, live your purpose, it will come from your soul you will be totally present. You will connect with the Infinite Source. “I am in God’s Love, The Universe Is In My Body.

You see, at the core, everything is energy and you will attract the energy you concentrate on. So resonate with positive energy and attract the financial and personal freedom you want. You can do it and I can help.
