Trying to make ourselves better, while thinking of how new age, actually dates back to ancient history. There are several companies that spoke to develop themselves as the only true vocation in life, and that philosophy (to know more about themselves and the universe), was the best way to live a more fulfilling life.
If you look at the history of personal development, it may have been called by other names, such as, "virtue", or "moral character", or in the Christian era, "ethics".
No matter where are the roots of personal development, if it is in ancient Greece, or more recently in the teachings of Benjamin Franklin, where he created perhaps the first course of self-improvement, we discussed more than 13 weeks, every week focusing on a special feature of the development staff.
The traits that spoke of are as follows ...
To practice self-control and discipline exercise, then use these traits as a means to improve the individual ...
Quiet yourself and listen: Become a better listener, and exercise the silence ...
Keeping order: Organize our lives in an orderly manner, and not procrastinating ...
Work ethic: putting forth your best effort daily ...
Money / Time: figure out how to spend our time and money ...
Work: learn to work and play hard, trying to bring a smile to others ...
Do unto others: always treat others the way you yourself would want to be treated
Small steps: a look at life in moderation, and to avoid extremes ...
Cleaning both inside and outside: to be clean in mind body and spirit ...
Peace: Live life in peace, enjoying the beauty that surrounds us ...
Serving others: no matter your station in life, take the time to help others in need ...
Humility to realize that we are all equal before the Almighty ...
Honesty: Strive always to tell the truth about yourself and those who come in contact with.
Although this is just a brief example of what one of the historical figures of America offered, personal development is not a destination, but a journey that you have to walk.
Personal development must become ingrained in every part of our lives, both physically, mentally and spiritually. Life is a continuous movement from birth to death, and along the way that you should always try to move forward ourselves, to become better people, and not to settle, but always strive for excellence.
We live in a busy world, with deadlines to keep bills to pay, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that we are physical as well as spiritual beings, and to be truly satisfied we should not put one in front of the other, rather seek excellence for both.
Personal development, which could be measured by changing and achieve goals, can be thought of as a measure of our success in life. No matter if you search for the summit of Mount Everest, or simply to walk to a nearby hill, but it is the setting of our views on this goal, then walk steadily forward infielders achieved.
We must seek both short term and long term goals, that short-term goals to be achieved, which provides fuel for our very being, allowing us the strength and the motivation to keep going.
