Ok, I know what you are thinking….Personal Development?!?! GROSS. I don’t need to be standing in the self help isle of some book store with all the losers!!! FALSE. Those people are FAR from losers ACTUALLY those people are the enlightened. People who are smart enough to know that they need help to grow and achieve a higher level of success and confidence to conquer the world….THOSE are the ones who will succeed!
Personal Development has helped me reach into my soul and look at trails in a completely different light! It has helped me control my feelings, battle anxiety and focus on the GOOD in EVERY SINGLE situation!
A few that I recommend :
-You are a Badass – Jen Sincero
-The Compound Effect – Darren Hardy
-The Slight Edge – Jeff Olsen
….To START!
One of my resolutions for 2015 is to work on myself more! BUT WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? haha! Look, If I want to leave this world BETTER than when I found it….I MUST do my best to take care of myself. Now, that does not mean ONLY physically. It means mentally. ACTUALLY, your mental health should come first. YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED how much of an effect the mind has on the rest of your body. If you have a negative mind, I can almost guarantee you will have a negative body and a negative experience in life.
For example: DID you know you literally STOP yourself from every chance you get? Did you know that YOU are the main roadblock to your goals ?

“So OFTEN when we say we’re unqualified for something, what we’re really saying is that we’re too scared to try it, not that we can’t do it.
Most of the time it’s not lack of experience that’s holding us back, but rather the lack of determination to do what we need to do to be successful.
We put SO MUCH energy into coming up with excuses why we can’t be, do, or have the things we want, and designing the perfect distractions to keep us from our dreams– (THAT’S RIGHT ….DESIGNING THEM, CREATING THEM– Mind blown yet?) IMAGINE how far we’d get is we just SHUT UP and used all that energy to go for it instead?
Here’s the good news:
1. We all know way more than we give ourselves credit for knowing.
2. We are drawn to things we’re naturally good at (which counts for MORE than having a graduate degree in that subject–BTW’s)
3. There’s no better teacher than necessity.
4. Passion TRUMPS fear. (EVER DANG TIME.) ”
I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE that excerpt from the book that I read this morning. I mean how powerful could we be when we realize WE ARE LITERALLY creating and destroying our success. We determine if we are successful. We place road blocks.
Bottom line: We were born to be great. Not doubtful or scared. But our world and society and EVIL has made us doubtful, hteful creatures ESPECIALLY when it comes to ourselves. Therefore, we need to enlightened enough to REALIZE IT and know ………..”Hey, I need a little Personal Development Today!!”
AHHHH, now don’t you feel better!
Don’t have time to read? Get an audio book OR better yet..a FREE one on YouTube 🙂 I have a solution for every excuse!
Love Yourself. Give yourself a chance!
