Personal development is a self help program of conscious effort to develop specific life skills. A personal development plan should include goals for personal growth and action plans in support of the desired growth.
Personal Development Plan
Unfortunately, we often practice this process backwards, addressing self help and personal development without the clarifying foundation of a personal development plan based on purpose of life. Though we surely benefit from every self-help book read, every class taken, and every personal growth lecture attended, the greatest benefits will result when new life skills align with and support a clear purpose of life.
Conscious Personal Growth
The first and most critical step, then, in effective and satisfying personal development is to discover and clarify your purpose of life. Purpose is the answer to the question, “Who am I and why am I here?” Knowing life purpose brings focus, meaning, resilience, and fulfillment to your life; this is a fundamental self help activity.
Life purpose is unique to each individual; parents, teachers, religious leaders, philosophers, and even media personalities may give us their view of life purpose. But it is just that–their view. Your unique purpose of life lies deep within yourself, covered by layers of teachings, warnings, fears, and doubts which we accumulate from others.
“Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it,” ~ Buddha
