STAGES OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
~2.6 mins read
Dear friends, it's Week 1 Day 2 of the Triple C 6.0 ContentCreationChallenge
Today we look at personal development in detail and how it affects our everyday life.
"The important thing is that we must be constantly moving forward - yes, the progressive realization of a predetermined goal. And our growth should never end."
- Og Mandino
WHAT IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?
Personal development is said to have broad definitions. It has been defined by different individuals and scholars.
According to Wikipedia, Personal development or self-improvement consists of activities that develop a person's capabilities and potential, build human capital, facilitate employability, and enhance the quality of life and the realization of dreams and aspirations.
When I think about personal development, what comes to mind is the act of being a better version of my current self.
Many times we tell ourselves how we would like to improve in one area or the other. Subconsciously, we are involving ourselves in personal development. Personal development allows you to be proactive.
STAGES OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
In life, one has to go through stages; from being a fetus to old age. So also it applies to personal development.
There are four stages of Personal Development.
First, we have Self Discovery. Before I make a decision, I have to find out where I am. In this stage, I make reflections on who I am, what I want to achieve and the person I want to become.
I was always interested in writing but I didn't take it seriously until 2020. The year was marked by unprecedented events- COVID-19, and ASUU to mention but a few.
It rendered a lot of individuals idle as lots of activities were put on hold. I needed to do something with my time and I came across a platform that could pay me for creating content. That sparked the writer in me.
After you have discovered who you are and want to be, you pursue personal growth by enhancing physical and mental skills, competencies, talents, and knowledge to reach your fullest potential. This is the stage of Self Development.
I want to develop my writing skill and so I hopped on the Triple C Consistency challenge. In this challenge, I aim to be a better writer through the guidance of experts.
Next, the act of Self Mastery. This is the ability to recognize, understand, control, and make the most out of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self. It is gained through awareness, understanding, and control over thoughts, emotions, and actions.
As your skills improve and you grow in confidence, you realize your full potential. You become everything you are capable of becoming. This is the stage of Self Actualization.
In conclusion, Personal development involves the dedication to your greatest resources- you. The effort you put into developing yourself shows how amazing the result would be. Don't forget obstacles and circumstances could set in.
However, if you've not started this journey of personal development, it is not late. Make that decision today and take the steps gently.
