Self Development

Self-development is a life long journey. The minute you think you have achieved some form of emotional or psychological achievement; the next emotional wave of challenges gets presented to you. We learn through adversity and sometimes we learn during times of bliss. The important thing is not necessarily how we learn, but how open we are to learn and grow.
Being open to growth requires dedication, and the feedback we receive through various sources is a gift. So how can you capitalise on this gift?
By being conscious of the ego state pulling at us when the feedback is given to us, being aware of the human element of our judgement and by keeping a vigilant eye on those negative thought patterns already established in our brains, we can start to be more conscious about who we want to be, how we want to think and how we want to behave. The choice is ours. It requires courage to be bold enough to create that freedom of choice and the sense of autonomy for ourselves in everything we do. We create our reality through the way in which we think. The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our lives.
Being present, being aware of what is happening around us and within us, gives the opportunity to reflect on the feedback that is there for us to use and grow.

    A very true article on self-development. Change is the hardest thing to accomplish and most certainly requires the ego to step down so that one can be open to new growth. Inspiring words..
