Consolidation for Personal Development.
Consolidation for Personal Development
So now you have examined your weaknesses, and have a program for improving in areas where you know your abilities are lacking, or performance is weak. You have analyzed your attitudes, and are able to see where you need to make changes. Your emotional well being is being dealt with, and you are taking rational control of any areas where emotional problems were leading to difficulties. Now you have considered your goals, your strategy, and your values. You have achieved a comfortable and healthy diet, and have ensured you have good, strong, supportive and healthy relationships with family and friends. Last but not least, you are working towards a balance in your physical, mental, emotional, professional and spiritual lives and seeking consolidation. OK so maybe you haven't achieved all these things, but you are on the way, and no longer delude yourself, or allow yourself to drift away from your plan. Consolidation is now the key to moving forward. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you have dealt with everything and that's that. Don't get over confident. Don't lose sight of the fact that the path to self improvement and self fulfillment is a life long path. You may be achieving some of your early goals, and you may be setting new ones, but it is only when you have fully internalized the knowledge that self development is a permanent and ongoing part of life that you are really ensuring you will reap the long term benefits. For some people, realizing their potential involves some quite radical changes in goals. Maybe it's just a question of having achieved your desired level of success, and then needing to move on to something else. Maybe in the course of your progress in reaching your initial goals, you realized that your vision of how that success would feel didn't quite feel right. Maybe you find that money isn't all that you thought it was, and that you need to pursue goals that are less about money, and more about your inner life. Or you could find that making the money is easier than you ever thought it could be, and much more interesting is how it can be spent to achieve really wonderful outcomes for others who are not as able as you. This level of consolidation is the level necessary for you to move towards helping others to fulfill their dreams, their potential and their path to self development. When you find you enjoy helping others as much as, or more than you enjoy helping yourself, you will have become efficient in your self development. Of course, this is the point where you need to remind yourself of the requirement for a little humility and modesty in life, and the need to definitely avoid feeling smug. And finally… Let's hope that your path to self fulfillment is truly mind blowing, and that the process, as well as the achievements, is positive, and energizing. We are programmed to survive, but really to want to do our best, and to achieve our best means some self examination, some effort and some dedication. Don't be fooled into thinking there are quick fixes to getting the most out of life, or that it is a question of this method or that method. The questions and the answers are always inside you, as are those unique abilities to discover and enjoy your potential Good luck!
