Many people wait until a certain time to start investing in themselves. When New Years comes around, they automatically want to set goals. It confuses me when some why some people wait until a certain date to improve and work on themselves.

Personal development should be essential for you at all times.

But if not, since the New Year until now, what have you achieved so far?

How long has it been since you explained to your family and friends your goals? Whether it was to lose those 20 pounds, to break-up that bad relationship that you’re in, or get a new job. Have you gotten started any of those yet? Maybe you did and if so, great! But if you didn’t do anything yet or even try…then why not?

Fast Forwardstates that only 8% of people complete New Years resolutions) so you’re saying that you’re just like everyone else????

No!! Wrong. Prove them wrong and prove YOU wrong!!

Prove them wrong, prove you wrong

First of all, self-confidence begins here. You will NOT be able to fully trust yourself if you don’t even try to reach the goals that you set. Setting a goal takes effort anyway, so why not just strive for achievement and make yourself proud?

Not showing an effort to pursue your dreams and work on yourself will result in a loss of trust and even respect. If you cannot complete what you said you will, then nobody will believe you, especially yourself!

Personal development can help you obtain staying on top of your to-do list, goals and staying accountable. This will continue to benefit you to accomplish tasks and feel good about yourself in the end. Also, people will look at you as someone who takes initiative and strives for the best of the best.

YOLO

But really, why wouldn’t you want to improve yourself?

You are given one life on this earth and nobody knows when their own last day or chance is. So, what are you waiting for? I say, GO..! Live this life to the fullest, take that course to learn that second language, get that gym membership, and start saving your money, you have one chance, make the most of it.

Whatever it is that you want to do to go forward in the right direction. Whatever it is that you are passionate about and what keeps your light burning. Go and do it. Don’t let anything stop you. This is your chance.

What are you waiting for? Years to pass by?

Learn these  20 Small Habits That Will Dramatically Change Your Life

The skills learned can be used on a daily basis for the rest of your life

Every personal development skill that you learn can be used for the rest of your life. The education that you learn will be utilized and can help you in certain situations. Also, you will be more likely able to achieve your goals because your mindset is meant to focus on personal development.

Along with memories that you can look back at and see how far you have progressed over time.

When it comes to overcoming problems, you will have better skills in time management, patience, motivation, and resilience. Personal development is a benefit to you and can help you overcome challenges in the most simple way.

You will gain a sense of self

Spending time trying to improve yourself as an individual will assist you in learning more about yourself in the meantime. I do not mean “self-discovery” or the term “finding yourself”, it’s more like learning yourself in a deeper way.

Your true interests and intentions in life will start to become more clear according to how much effort you put into certain tasks. Qualities, strengths, and weaknesses will begin to stand out and will lead you to use them to your best ability.

After spending more time examining myself, my behavior, actions, and trying to improve. I realized that I was not very good at saying “no” to people. This being a weakness of mine, began to show me to see that sometimes, I was wasting my time. Instead of adding value to my life, I was just doing whatever people invited me to do.

I am glad I got a hit of reality and can work on personal development. I have now learned that it is okay to say “no”.

You will be happier overall

Success can be known to lead to happiness. With personal development, you will see success in many areas because you will continue to strive to see and feel the results that you are aiming for.

After working on your goals and forming new habits, you will begin to notice yourself feeling a more positive feeling. And once you achieve those goals and succeed, you will also see an increase in self-confidence!

This is a big reason that I love personal development. It always made me happier with myself, my standards were raised, and I became much more proactive.

There are literally so many reasons to focus on personal development and I hope you do!

And if not, you should start now, I am sure you will be happier.
Look! I promise I am 🙂

You are NOT finished

I remember graduating from high school and leaving to travel abroad, with the thought that I was so done learning.
But I was completely wrong!

That was all just the beginning of my learning process and opening my eyes to the world.

Many people think that education ends after school is over. This is completely incorrect. I have learned that we are continuously learning throughout life, each and every day.

Even if you are content with yourself, keep improving. Don’t get stuck and fall behind just because you think you are satisfied. Why settle for what you are now, when you can be so much more. There is always bigger and there’s always better, shoot for the moon!

“Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they’re finished” – Dan Gilbert

Don’t make the mistake and quit trying in life.

Every day is a new beginning, a new chance to do something with your life. There is a reason you’re here. The most important thing you can do to achieve success is set goals for yourself and work on personal development. It is nobodies responsibility to put good knowledge in your brain but your own and there is no excuse these days with all the possibilities out there.

So take your first step.

Don’t you want to be able to look back in 25 years and be proud of what you’ve done and everything you’ve succeeded with?

I know that I do!

Do you spend time on personal development and investing in yourself?

Why? What motivates you? What keeps your fire burning?

If you don’t spend any time on improving yourself or shooting for bigger and better, I encourage you to start.

In fact, I challenge you to set aside half an hour today to invest in yourself. Take that time to try and grow from the person you were yesterday and the lessons you have learned.
