10 Killers To Personal Development
Many people want to change their lives for the better. It seems that
the majority of individuals are unhappy with some aspect of how they
are living. Perhaps they would like to lose some weight. Some want
to improve their relationships. And others want a successful career
path. Regardless of what someone wants to change, there is a model
available to follow. Unfortunately for some, to be effective one
needs avoid certain pitfalls that befall so many. Avoid these to
increase the chances that you will be able to make the changes
necessary in your life.
Here are the 10 most common killers to personal development.
1.Being a 'know-it-all': It is always interesting to see someone who
wants to make a change because the results that they are presently
receiving are causing them pain. They are not successful doing what
they are doing. However, when suggestions are offered they
immediately discount them. They say something like "I already know
that" or "I agree with you but ...." They simply are cannot be taught
anything. The mind is closed off from any new information. This type
of person knows it all.
2.Switching Programs: There are many wonderful teachers and coaches
out there. They often have a curriculum of success that they teach.
There is a linear path they take people down on the road to achieving
the results that are desired. However, switching from teacher-to-
teacher usually only leads to confusion while reducing the results
attained. For example, there are programs that show people how to
pick winning stocks using fundamental analysis. There are also ones
that teach about technical analysis. For either will yield tremendous
benefits (assuming the program is a good one). However, if one tries
to switch back and forth, the stocks they pick will likely fail to
deliver the results desired. Choose one curriculum that suits you and
stick with it.
3.Failing to believe this stuff works: The self improvement industry
often gets a bad rap from people. Sure there are individuals who are
promoting things that do not work. Unethical people exist in every
spectrum. However, the bottom line is that millions of people have
changed their lives completely by implementing the teaching of
personal development experts. However, if you believe that none of it
works, that is a guarantee that it will not.
4.Lacking the commitment to change: Many have the desire to change
certain aspects of their lives. Yet most do not have the overwhelming
commitment to do anything about it. It is like the alcoholic who
knows that he has a problem yet continues drinking anyway. He might
want to stop but his actions tell another story. If you hope, wish,
want, pray, or think you want to change something, the odds are that
everything will remain the same. When you are committed to changing
something, the chances increase substantially that you will make it
happen.
5.Lacking consistency: Habits are like muscles. They get more
powerful the more we work them out. To develop good habits, it is
imperative that we attend to them on a regular basis. Attempting to
follow a self help program for a few days then setting it aside for 3
months will do little to change anything. Personal growth is a full-
time practice. Developing the qualities that we desire and make us
successful are gained through repetition. Over time, we get better at
anything we put consistent effort in to. Treat you personal
development the same way that a top athlete treats his or her exercise
program.
