Understanding Self-Help And Personal Development

By Brock Blohm 


Understanding Personal Development
According to Wikipedia, "Personal development refers to activities that improve self-knowledge and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and employ-ability, enhance quality of life and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations."
If a person were to deliberately begin working on their own personal development, they would be focusing on many categories. Listed below are the majority:
  • improving self-awareness
  • improving self-knowledge
  • building or renewing identity
  • developing strengths or talents
  • improving wealth
  • spiritual development
  • identifying or improving potential
  • building employ-ability or human capital
  • enhancing lifestyle or the quality of life
  • improving health
  • fulfilling aspirations
  • initiating a life enterprise or personal autonomy
  • defining and executing personal development plans
  • improving social abilities
Understanding Self-help
Self-help is very similar to that of Personal Development. Self-help generally refers to learning and growing as an individual by reading and experimenting. Many concepts and lifestyles can be learned by oneself or through social groups and communication.
Self-help is extraordinarily important. It allows you to learn and grow as a human. It allows you to gain knowledge and wisdom that that you can apply to the work place, relationships, or anywhere you see necessary.

Life is a journey
We all have this one body and this one life - that is why it is important to enjoy it while we are here. Self-help can help you achieve a happier life. Learning how to become better at something is exciting, as we can apply that to our lives. Learning how to be a better colleague or better friend can not only benefit ourselves, but everyone else that surrounds us!
As we age, we realize more and more how precious life really is! We are here for only a fraction of time.
So what should we be doing while we are in fact here? The answer may vary from person to person - but I feel that we should focus on enjoying our lives!
To me, Life is a Journey - one that allows us to build friendships, and relationships. One that allows us to gain experience and knowledge to give ourselves a sense of 'being' while we are here. Life should be enjoyed - there's no question about it. Take a moment and ask yourself "What are my goals in life." Achieving those goals will make you happy. That is why your life should revolve around achieving your goals!

You Should Never Give up!
My life is dedicated to helping people understand this concept. Teaching others that you can in fact create your own future by teaching yourself anything! Self-help is the key to success! This is my recommendation:
  1. Determine something about yourself that needs improvement
  2. Research and learn how to improve on it
  3. Repeat step 1 & 2
In Your Success
