If you want to change the world around you, you must start with yourself.
We are not born amazing leaders, great business people,
influencers, awesome parents, awesome husband or wives, great brothers or sisters,
or a person who knows their purpose in life. We have to constantly work on ourselves to
improve in those areas! Even if you think are awesome at those things, there
will always be room for improvement!
I knew that I was weak in many areas of my life due to lack
of life experience. I started working on my personal development back in 2013
when I had my first real bout of serious depression. I had never picked up a
book outside of my school books. I was never taught how to develop the person I
wanted to be.
As I started to read, learn, and most importantly implement
the lesson I learned, things started to really change in my life. I began to challenge
myself more and was not afraid of change. I started living way onside my
comfort zone and found myself enjoying the experience.
Personal development has helped me to climb out of
depression, has helped me to become a better leader, a better man, and a person!
Personal development has also made me into a better business person! I had seen
the amazing changes of reading Personal development every day in my life, so I encourage
the people I am blessed to work with to add “PD” into their lives.
I found it best to follow a few simple rules when it comes to Personal
development.
1. Starting your day
with 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted “PD” can really change how you look at the
upcoming obstacles of your day.
2. It is better to find a few books you like and read
them over and over again until you start
implementing the lessons learn before you move on to another book. Sure it’s
great to read a lot of books, but if you do not take the time to evaluate
yourself on the new habits learned from “PD”… Then what is the point?
Please share any books that have made an impact on your life.
Here is a list of books that I have found very helpful in my life.
