Personal Development and the Power of Self-Management

We talked yesterday about the Power of Self-Management and the power it can build for you into your daily life. So if we are going to explore the ability to Self-Manage ourselves to a level of fruition that produces the fruit we want to receive then we have to ask the foremost important question: Why do we believe that we have so little value? I believe this belief causes more pain and suffering than any other belief we can feed into about ourselves. It is very destructive course of action towards our self-confidence and ambition in life.

From the time we are children to pre-teens to teens to adults we are bombarded with people who lower our self-esteem and destroy our own personal sense of discipline and self-worth. Very little is done in school to help this situation. We were always perceiving another student doing better than us because they got a better grade a few times and we found out about it. Then we began to think in our minds, “That person is just smarter than me.” It continues all through school and even when our friends played with someone else and left us out of the fun we wanted to know, “How are they better than me?  I thought my friend liked me?”

Personal Development in the past has done little to fix this problem other than offer people an over inflated idea about themselves and one they cannot live up too at that. So we construct a reality in our own mind and try to assign value to ourselves there and sometimes we over do it. Don’t get me wrong, we must be able to have extreme self-confidence and to have high ambition. But we must have a sense of reality that what we believe we can do, we can really do. An over bloated idea about ourselves and what we “think” we can really do does not help our confidence level. In other words, what we think we can do we must be able to do. Delusions of your ability does not help your self-confidence.

Personal Development needs to teach more about the reality in your head becoming congruent with the reality you see in your daily life. It is hard to be objective in a subjective world. In fact, you can’t really rely on what others say about your results because they are skewed as well. Friends and family don’t want to hurt your feelings. You must test yourself in order to know what you can and cannot do. Or perhaps you need an expert Personal Development Coach to help you get the raw facts that you need in order to excel. Self-management is all about you having a worldview of yourself that is compatible with what you want to accomplish in life.

The personal development that you pursue should be trackable and verifiable with results that you produce. This way you will know how much better you are really getting at anything you want to excel at in your life.

The thinking trap that we get caught up with in our life is that we value ourselves by what we achieve in life. Your value as a human being is not determined by what you do or achieve in life. That only works in the market place. You have to value yourself independently of your achievements in life in order to stay balanced.

And good personal development course should teach you this distinction. Your value is not what you create. Your value is what type of person you are and how you treat other people. Many people will gain fame and think. “If it is this easy then it must not be to important because anyone can do this.” They can’t believe that they are good enough for the success and therefore begin to tear it down. Make sure your chosen personal development course teaches you this as well and you will see your self value go sky high and nothing will seem impossible to you!

Personal Development and the Power of Action!

Action can be identified as the personal will in motion. Action can be taken in two different ways. You can think something and that is action. You can physically move your body and that is another level of action. The brain tells the body what to do and the body follows the instructions. Simple enough so far, right? Well the problem comes in the form of getting your body to take the physical action.  Many people are lazy in their minds and that makes them lazy in their brains and their physical body. Most people do not want to take the energy and time to think a problem through all the way. They would rather be told what to do and why! And there we have the indoctrination of the will. “Tell me what you want me to do and I will do it!” Is their decree. Never has there been more dangerous words. It is a complete surrender of the personal will. If anything, the Personal Development course you study should be aimed at awakening your determination and resolve.

The greater your personal will, the greater amount of action you will take and the more you will achieve. So success comes at the expense of getting your personal will in alignment with your thinking, or primarily, your attention. Personal Development should make you stretch your imagination and to learn as much about everything as you can. Why? Because the more you know the more you have to work with when it comes to being more creative. The more creative you are, the more things you create and in different ways.

Training yourself to be more pro-active is a great thing and will yield many successful results for you. However, you have to have the power of your personal will and personal attention in alignment with one another. Here is an exercise to get you started in the alignment process.

Exercise:

Every day for a week make yourself do something really small that you don’t want to do – but do it. You can build from there. Just for now, you want to get the focused attention and personal will working together.  It can be challenging, but you can do it!!

Personal Development and the Time Management Factor!

Two things that are for sure in our lives – time and energy. Time and energy are the most valuable thing we have second only to our health. However, finding the time to do what we need to accomplish daily is a bit of a grind. I know I have experienced it and still do a little from time to time. But, I have learned some tricks through Personal Development I will share here with you.

The first trick is to know your energy times and the times that you are at your strongest. Everyone has a time of the day that they are their strongest and most energized. I like to do my most pressing matters during the early morning and get them out of the way. Also, don’t try to schedule a bunch of things everyday. Personal Development skills will help you time the effectiveness of your strongest point of focus and work from there daily. When you are focused and centered you will be amazed at the amount of work you can get done. I mean you will eventually hit the zone and even impress yourself.  Organize the things you have to do into most pressing to the least and take a few on everyday. By the end of the week all has been handled and you are ready for the new pressing matters. It is true that you should strive to be conscious all the time. However , there are times when a routine can be very helpful and productive.

If you’re able to just get up and do your morning work-out without even thinking about it; this is a good sub-conscious routine. It is worth keeping because it is result oriented and makes you healthy.  So not all sub-conscious behavior is bad. But, you do have to keep an eye on what is effective for you as an individual and what is not. When your are in creations that make you do things that are not productive and then you want to justify your actions with the cop out of lacking self responsibility; this is not a good thing at all and this type of Sub-Conscious programming should not be tolerated. Tomorrow we will discuss the power of your conscious actions.

Creotology Personal Development and the Power of Attention

Soke Draconis and I were walking down the street in our neighborhood enjoying the beautiful summer day.  As we strolled along, we were discussing Creotology Personal Development Institute and how the programs were evolving when we happened upon a large cat sneaking up on some birds enjoying a puddle of water from the previous night’s rain. Soke Draconis said, “Look at the incredible amount of focused attention the cat has on those birds. That is the type of attention that our students need to have in Creotology Personal Development.”

We stopped and watched what nature had designed and looked for the lesson in the moment. The cat readied itself, kept very low to the ground and moved in small little steps. With its ears laid back and everything about it very still. We could see that the cat was now focusing on the bird closest to him. Soke Draconis whispered, “The cat is going for the low hanging fruit. This means the bird he has picked is the closest for his success.” Soke’s remark sent my thoughts back to a class in Creotology Personal Development about focus and attention. Also, I think I have felt that type of attention in some mental procedures that we do in class.

The birds played and were oblivious to the predator that was about to pounce on their freedom. It was hard to watch, but nature is what it is! With a fast bolt, the cat leaped and successfully hit its mark.  As the other birds took off and the chaos cleared, there stood the cat with its bird and fruit of the cat’s rewards for a perfect and flawless attack. Once again, it was hard for Soke Draconis and me to watch the event. However, we came away with some keen insights. The insights were to stay focused on one thing at a time, look for the most available opportunity at all times, be patient and remain centered in your focus and whatever you do, do not jump the gun.
