Self-development: Vital key to attaining success

Source

Hello everyone,
Blessed to be here

There are limitations to what people can do for me I believe that total dependence on people makes me feel less of myself, because the same ability and skills others have, has also been bestowed upon me and it takes self-development to maximize those hidden potentials and skills, and for it to be effective, I have to be intentional about what i want and the possible steps or actions taken to achieved that.

In my understanding self-development is all about understanding ourselves and consciously making positive changes in order to enhance spiritual, physical, financial and our social well-being. Basically there are certain practical strategies that can be applied as well as having the right mindset which can absolutely transform our life, they are skills that help us nurture our personal development.

Personal development is a lifelong process, it's a way to assess our skills and qualities, also considering our aims in life and setting achievable goals in order to maximise our potentials. Self development is our ability to learn new things and build new skills—skills that help us increase our chances of success, achieving our goals, and manifesting our dreams.

Most often what hinders our self development is fear, fear of the unknown, fear of making mistakes which will lead us to avoid facing challenges and welcoming new experiences—experiences that would help us grow, improve ourselves in important ways, and create the life we desire. Fear can prevent us from growing and progressing, so If we have a growth mindset, we enjoy challenges, and despite the risk, because we value learning and growth. That's why we need a growth mindset in order to build new skills, and believe in ourselves and work at achieving our goals, we can only grow and learn by trying things we might not be comfortable doing.

Life is hard sometimes. We all experience ups and downs, which often lead to stress, but we don't all respond to these ups and downs the same way, some get defeated, while others who think positively don't take things so hard, that's why it is important of us to reflex on positivity. Also having the understanding that stress is not only bad for our health and well-being, it prevents us from effectively pursuing and achieving our self development goals, so by learning some stress-reducing strategies, our body and mind will be more equipped to handle the challenges that will inevitably arise.

For self development to take place reading is required, because reading helps to expand our knowledge as well as stimulate our mind and improve our critical thinking skills.
Resilience is also an important skill which helps in bouncing back quickly after being knocked down by challenges. This is important because success cannot be achieved if we give up on the journey of self development, so resilience skills needs to be built.

Change is inevitable, and it's essential to embrace it if we want to grow, being open to new experiences and opportunities, and we shouldn't be afraid of stepping out of our comfort zone.
Self-development is a journey, not a destination, and it requires patience, also for us to become a best version of ourselves we should give room for self development, because our self development is key to achieving whatever we desire.
