How many hours have spent this week working on yourself? I don’t mean on the way you look, by either going to the gym or getting your hair and nails done. I mean how many hours have you spent on your personal development?
For most people, the answer will be either zero or less than 5 hours
How many hours do you spend studying each day? Maybe 6 or 7?
When you start working, you will often spend between 8-12 hours each day either at your job or doing courses to improve your career
Personal development means taking time to understand who you are, what your strengths are and thinking about what you want out of life; relationships, career, experiences etc.
For most people life just evolves, and you get through it, some are happier and more successful than others
But if you thought about what you want out of life and understood what you must do and learn to get there, you would be much quicker and more fulfilled
Personal development was new to me until 2 years ago, since then I have been on a high-speed journey to reading and learning as much as I can, and it has changed my outlook to life completely
I wish I had learnt this in my 20s
The first book I read was Prof Steve Peters – The Chimp Management – Mind management
It’s a great place to start your journey and understand why you have your thoughts, and why those thoughts can sabotage your success
All those hours you spend studying or working will be far more effective if you spend a little time working on yourself
Even just one hour a week of personal development will boost your success in studying, accelerate your career and improve your relationships – simply put this will change your life
