Personal Development is the Key to a Breakthrough Success in Life!


Don't take personal development lightly, if you are looking for a holistic success in life. Majority of people don't value the importance of personal development. Personal development means a lot of things and it includes all aspects of human life. Many people who are successful, healthy and happy took upon themselves the personal development as a result their lives improved for better.

Personal Development teaches you about Goal settings.

If you don't know the importance of goal settings you won't achieve much in your life. You will do the routine job and activity but it won't satisfy you to your best of ability. You will be disappointed and discouraged for not having things you aspire to have. If you take up personal development process, you will learn about goal settings. Many people think that goals don't have to be written down. But it may work for few but not for all people. Therefore learning about goal settings is essential. It teaches whether you should set small goals or big goals. And through personal development you will be able to set right goals.

Personal Development Teaches about attitude.

If you don't have a positive or good attitude towards making your goals achievable then you won't make any progress. It takes a lot of education about attitude to change one's perception. A positive attitude can be easily developed by you if you value personal development. Schools and colleges don't have time and patience to teach the students the positive attitude. Schools and colleges have their own subjects to teach as a result the important quality- attitude is never taught in the classroom.

Personal Development teaches about having a personal Philosophy.
You can't accomplish much in life if your philosophy is not set write. If you don't have a personal philosophy then you will fit into anybody's lifestyle or belief systems and you won't be able to stand for reality. You won't have your mind, ideas, insights and beliefs. Personal philosophy is very important because it gives direction to your big goals. Jim Rohn, the great American success philosopher and a great proponent of personal development says that philosophy is like "a set of sail."

Through Personal Development you become a qualified person to get all the good things of life.

Personal development qualifies a person to achieve the good things of life. It will give you a qualification to achieve your goals and provide you all the skills you need to perform the necessary task. In personal development what you become is very important. Even if you lose your business or encounter some loss, you still have a qualified person and that person is you. Become first a qualified person to attain your dreams.

Personal Development teaches about reading books, continuous learning, exercise and meditation.

Exercise is very important to stay healthy and being healthy is essential to enjoy the fruits of your success. You learn all this in personal development. People just need to do daily exercise of 15 minutes and eat healthy food. People usually eat nowadays for taste and not for living. People don't eat with their brain rather they consume whatever comes to their table. The onset of fast food is causing people to eat more for taste than for living. Similarly you can learn a lot of things about life if you read books and have a continuous learning. Meditation is another factor which you can learn a lot about. Meditation teaches you about breathing and focusing your attention and thus increasing concentration power. Meditation gives right understanding about the reality. Sitting in solitude is a great way to heal one's body sickness or illness.

Personal Development creates a new story for a new lifestyle.
Through personal development you can create a new story for yourself and thus you can lead a new lifestyle. If you take up personal development you will get many insights about living a better quality of life. Live the lifestyle you want to have by creating a new story for yourself.

You get spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, social and financial development.

The all round development is possible because of personal development. No human is so perfect that he/she doesn't need development in all these areas. You need a great deal of education in order live a better and happy life. People have wrong information and notion regarding personal development. But see the men and women who are successful and on top of the world because they figured out ways to solve problems when they took up personal development.


There are many benefits of personal development and it is important that you take upon yourself the responsibility to see the kind of person you would like to become. Personal development qualifies for the great things that you desire to have in your life. Life puts some of the good things on the high shelf and if you want to reach to the high shelf, you got to develop yourself in order to qualify for those good things of life. Remember to be a responsible person for your success, growth, health and happiness.

Create a New Story - a New Lifestyle for You!

We are here on earth to live a life of happiness, truth, freedom, prosperity, health and success. Our main purpose is to be selfish in our goals and dreams so that we can achieve them easily as we take the initiative to realize them. We can either be in the past and share the past stories to people or we can create new stories every time we make a progress towards gaining deeper consciousness.

I like Bill Gates, the richest man who has shown the way to create a new story for our life. He wrote a new story for himself by dropping out of college and pursuing his own dreams and goals. He was selfish enough to listen to his inner voice and followed it till its accomplishment. He had a choice to write another story of being a Phd student or academically qualified student but he didn't choose to write that story instead he decided to write another story for himself. Perhaps he did harbour in his mind the desire to be a billionaire and he made himself one.

The entrepreneurs who are millionaires and billionaires chose to create new stories for themselves in a manner they could have a new lifestyle in life. These entrepreneurs paved the way for others to follow their path and create own new stories.

Anthony Robbins is a well-known speaker, entrepreneur and life changer in the world. But before he could create a new story for himself, he had an old story which didn't appeal to him. The old story was bad and he didn't want to live life like that. He decided to change and create a news story for himself. The moment he decided to change, he created a new story for himself and everything began to work in his favour. Today what he has accomplished in life is because he chose to create a new story, a new standard of life and that has brought in a massive transformation in his life. He has assisted thousands upon thousands of people all over the world to create a new story and it works when you create a new story for yourself.

Steve Jobs too created a new story for himself. He formed Apple Computers and soon he was fired from his own company. How can one be fired from his own company? It is true it can happen and happens for a great reason. When a person has the ability to create a new story in life, he/she will definitely face obstacles on their path. Had Steve Jobs not been fired from Apple, he would not have created the new story for himself. He would not have created new products for apple, Ipod, Iphone, Ipad etc. and I am sure there will be new stories or new inventions will happen soon in his life again.

Randy Gage is another multi-millionaire whom I admire very much. He too created a new story for himself. His old story didn't seem attractive and promising so he created a new story and as a result new life emerged and he began to have a great lifestyle. It is when he decided to create a new story that he started to see prosperity, health, success and good things of life. All the wealth, health, money, luxuries were there even when he had an old story, old life style but the prosperity, wealth, health, happiness came to him the moment he created new story for himself.

There are many examples that you can find in the world who teach us indirectly to create always new stories for ourselves. If we give up our limiting beliefs and victim mentality, we can easily create new stories for ourselves and with this our life could be transformed greatly.

Learn from the success and failures of others that if you want to succeed in life you got to create new story for yourself and if you want to fail and live a miserable life you don't need to create a new story rather you can continue to live the old story. Remember millionaires and billionaires created new stories for themselves. They worked hard to challenge their limiting beliefs and they learned to have confidence in their ability by dreaming big and going for the big results. You can find for yourself whether they succeeded in creating a new life or not.

Likewise, if you decide to create a new story, you can have all the good things that you dream everyday. However you don't have to limit yourself in creating a new story. You can create a series of stories as you make a progress in your life. There won't be any one single story in your life. There will be many stories and you should write many new stories to have many new things in life.

Create a new story and you will have a new lifestyle like all the millionaires and billionaires. You can create a new story in relationship, money, prosperity, health, jobs or spirituality. Your life will change, the moment you decide to create a new story - the new lifestyle.

The Universe is The Sublime God!

There is no God up there in the sky. We live, move and exist in God. The religions don't truly know what God is rather they care for their own sustenance on this world. The Gods presented or preached by the religions can't be worshipped or followed because it has distorted the true image or concept of God. But for ignorant people gods presented by the religions of the world may make sense. Because they don't think and make use of their minds. They only swallow whatever comes their way.

When religions preach about God, they say that God is up in the sky and there is heaven and hell. So if you do something bad, you will be punished and thrown into the hell of fire where you would be burned alive though even after you have physically died and buried in the grave. This kind of religious teachings frighten the followers and as a result of fear they try to follow or listen to the priests.

The universe is so vast that we can't even see with our eyes open. However if you close your eyes and see through your vision or imagination or the subconscious mind, you will be able to understand the vastness of Universe which can be understood as God.

There is no empty space between the planets and human beings. There is something unseen by the naked eyes which covers the emptiness that we see. Because when our eyes haven't seen the unseen matter, they won't be able to detect them easily. But when you close your eyes and then think deeply, you will begin to gain consciousness and know for the first time that indeed there is God particles stretching or expanding between planets to planets and humans to humans.

God is not a mystery or unexplainable entity as many people think about but rather God is to be recognized, felt, admired, acknowledged and worshipped because we are not somewhere outside of Him. We are inside Him just like the fishes which live in the ocean and animals or birds that stay in the forest. We are in the Universe which is sublime.

The best thing is to realize that we all exist in Him irrespective of caste, colours, race and countries. We can't be separated from the Universe because we are connected and we can't be separated from others too.

The Universe is God because it contains all the galaxies, planets, stars or suns, comets, asteroids, dust, clouds, water, light, darkness, minerals, diamonds, golds, hydrogen, oxygen, ice, rock and many other unseen substances. So believe that you won't die because even though you die, you will not be in hell or heaven. You will be in the Universe which is God. Whatever matter or atoms that are existing in the Universe- God, it doesn't fall outside or doesn't get lost. It is there in the Universe.

In the eyes of the Universe, the planets are only the tiny dust particles existing in the Universe. The gas, dust, clouds, ice, water, rocks, iron ores etc. cluster together and form a concrete planet or moon. However it takes billions of years to form a hard dust like our earth. So there is no question of God coming to punish you or harm you if you make mistakes. Only humans have made the rules or dogmas to control people so that there can be a law and order situation. But still there is no law and order. People do this for their utter selfish reasons. You must free yourself from the clutches of religions and from the slavery of Government institutes.

Live a free life, be happy and write your own new story.

Stay Connected with People Who Educate and Empower you!

We should be able to identify people who educate us, who inspire us, who motivate us, who encourage us and think or believe that we do have what it takes to be prosperous, happy and healthy or who empower us or challenge us to reach for the big goals that we think are impossible. After knowing the people who fuel us with energy or motivation, we must find ways to stay connected with them.

Until we are qualified, matured, strengthened and focused about our goals and aspirations, we should stay in contact with those people who are really interested in sharing their insights, experiences and knowledge in order to help us achieve what we want in life. We tend to get demotivated over the period, so it is wise to stay connected with the positive energy people. We don't remain motivated or inspired for a long time so we need that prep talk to uplift our spirit.

There are millions of people who get motivated once in a while but they don't stay energized all the time as a result they fail to accomplish their desires. It is good to get connected with mentors, coaches, and teachers who inspire us.

My wife says that when she talks to me she gets encouraged and motivated automatically. So I ensure that I educate and inspire her to go for the dreams. She feels enthused and charged up. She is able to remain motivated and on course because she stays connected with me for I give her the encouragement or support that she needs to fulfil her ambition of life.

By nature or by law, I always educate and empower people who I come across and I have never really discouraged anyone from pursuing their dreams. I often see the the ability that is there with the individuals and I don't see what they can't be rather I see what they can be. I always believe that people have incredible ability to be prosperous and live a beautiful life. It is only a matter of decision before long they can have what they want.

There are people by nature who are negative and their attitude is disheartening because they never think they can lead a better life. These people need to associate with people who have positive outlook about prosperity, money, health, relationship and spirituality. It is obvious that having an active association with successful people can make us successful in life too.

Without connection with the teachers, gurus, mentors or coaches we can never really make a big progress in life. You got to short-list who you will be in constant touch with and who you will dissociate with. However stay associated with those who make your life easier and better.

The funny thing is that we associate and stay connected with people who are victims and negative in attitude. They pull us down by default and that really programmes us to be failures. This can never bring the results we look for.

Therefore, make up your mind to associate with your mentors or friends who are encouraging, inspiring and fascinating. This way you will be motivated and empowered enough to pursue your ambition. Choose people wisely and associate with them as much as you can.

It is better to be selfish than to sacrifice oneself.

It is better to be selfish than to be unselfish. Being selfish means you are independent, free, rich, polite and all the good you could think. However selfish doesn't mean you are dishonest, crazy, unreal or unjust. People usually think being selfish is wrong and being unselfish is right. But this way of looking at the philosophy has caused a tremendous damage to our human civilization on this earth.

Right from the childhood we learn that we should follow altruism, but that is a wrong programming that we grow with. Our parents expect us to be helpful and look after others when in times of needs and we feel obliged to extend our help because we think it is a natural law to be altruistic.

When we travel by planes, we normally hear,'first put on your oxygen mask and then if you can, help secure other's mask. This is truth. This is not being selfish. The people when they are flying in the sky they understand that the guideline is not selfish and they follow in the sky, but the moment they land on the earth, the whole thing turns upside down. We must follow the same thing here on earth too. It applies more here in our daily activities.

If people understand their purpose in life, they will definitely prefer to be selfish and they will be ambitious in order satisfy or achieve their goals. It is our choice in life that determines what we will do with our values and virtues. We get deeply programmed in our childhood that we hardly recognize the unreal aspects of our personality. All the time we live a false life and we understand that is the best life we ever have.

The religions of the world consider God as the highest good and humans as incapable and insignificant beings that can never be perfect or without sin. Therefore to atone for the errors, the humans must do altruistic tasks to please the highest good God to forgive the sin committed. And if humans are altruistic, God should be pleased to allow them live a life on earth. Therefore, self-sacrifice is good from religious perspective. But it is not sensible to convince us.

Humans must use their reasons, that is their mind to think through the reality and then accept what gives happiness. We have individual goals and that individual goals must be pursued by us individually. The achievement of our goals give us the happiness that we are here on earth to enjoy. Therefore, we must be selfish in good sense to own all the wealth, prosperity, health, money, freedom etc.

We must create a new perspective to see our life and live a high standard of life. We must pursue our own dreams and live our dreams. There is no point of sacrificing our dreams in order to give a push to others' dreams. There are people who only like to mooch, cadge and be dependent on others for their well-being and that is actually sin because these people don't apply properly their skills, talents, abilities to harness the good things of life.

Be selfish enough to fulfil your goals so that you won't regret later in life. Be what you can be, have what you can be, enjoy however you can, live how you can and give how you can. It is all your life and your objective and there is nobody on your way to obstruct you. Be selfish in creating your own beautiful life story here on earth so that it will become a legacy.

We are the average of five people we hang around with!

People in our life do influence us. They programme us so much that they determine who we will become, what we will get, who we will marry, who will be our friends and what will be our life-style or standard of living. Jim Rohn often used to say that 'our income will be the average of the five closest people we spend our most time with'. This statement makes so much sense that there is no room for any doubt.

Prior to undertaking personal development, I used to have victim friends but now those victim friends are no longer in touch with me. I used to think they forgot me but later I understood that I had moved forward, I had grown up and made a substantial progress in gaining consciousness as a result my old friends remained where they used to be. Old friends do fade away as we gain greater consciousness. The spiritual laws of prosperity do work and I am glad I came to know Randy Gage who had posted his videos about prosperity on You Tube.

We are indeed the average of the five people we spend our most time with and as we hang around, they in turn influence our thinking, attitudes, behaviours, life-style, education and books we will read. It takes tons of education to unravel the old programs because it is not easy to unscramble the acquired habits. So be careful who you associate with and what they do for you in terms of attaining your goals, dreams and financial abundance.

If you want to become successful and rich, hang around with such people. If you don't have any personal chance to meet them physically, see them on the internet, download their photos, articles and think about them and take them as your mentors or coaches and you will be glad one day that you did this exercise. Similarly, you don't have to associate physically with successful and rich people, you just need to read their biographies over the internet and if you get an opportunity to buy books written by them you can read them and follow their insights and experiences to change your course of life.

Remember you can become millionaires and billionaires if you associate with such people though not physically but mentally reading and learning about them on the internet or books. Once you have gained enough consciousness or have become a kind of person that requires one to meet such people, you will have many opportunities to meet them during your life time. You will have friends from higher spectrum of society.

"You must constantly ask yourself these questions: who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?" Jim Rohn

Know Thyself!

We usually ask around kids when they are in schools or colleges, what do you want to be when you grow up? What we generally mean here is what profession do you want to engage in to make a living and the reply we probably get is same the old cliché. Some kids say they want to be doctors, engineers, architects, athletes, executives and others say soldiers, teachers, government employees and still others don't clearly say what they want and very few rare kids say they want to be business owners.

The schools and colleges exclusively impart academic and professional education whereby they teach about being doctors, engineers, lawyers, architects etc and they don't educate about the inner cast of characters. The schools and colleges are designed to keep students ignorant about themselves because the school curriculum keeps them busy and tight that they hardly get time to explore their inner potentials and know their characters.

Robert Kiyosaki, in his book, "Rich Dad's Prophecy," mentions about different cast of characters. Inside each person there are a set of personalities or characters which determine the rest of our future life. The knowledge of inner characters that we display on a daily basis dictate who we will turn out to be in our profession. Therefore it is very important to figure out and know our real characters that operate with in order to conduct our routine businesses of life.

Inside each us, there is a kind of person such as a mean person, a greedy person, a rich person, a poor person, a coward, a crook, a hero, a liar, a lover, a loser, a winner, a victim, a victor, an offender, a leader, a follower, a servant, a master and many more personalities and characters which we act upon daily in a given situation.

It is very important to know these inner parts of you before you take up any profession in life. "A person's choice of character is far more important than a person's choice of profession." Robert Kiyosaki. The coward, greedy, rich or poor, hero or victor, victim or loser etc. will show up in the course of any profession. There are ample real examples of coward, greedy, rich, poor, victor, victim in the world. You can see the world of financial frauds, bribes, corruption, stealing etc. by very well dressed top executives to well established institutes everywhere displaying their cast of characters.

Lesson in characters that we play in our profession is very important and it is needed to keep our future generation a truthful and honest civilization. That is why 'know thyself' applies today to all of us look for job or employments. Whatever we are inside good or bad that we will reflect on the outside at our workplace or in our home. The characters we take upon to conduct the daily business do have some positive or negative impact on the society at large.

Know thyself is indeed required of us to be conscious of who really we are. It is important to be truthful and honest in our everyday transactions because when we tell the truth, truth really sets us free and gives harmony, happiness and a reason to live another day.

Teach the young children the cast of different characters so that they should never be misled in the event of emergency. Don't be surprised when the TV channels flash the breaking news of fraud or corruption by important leaders of the world. It is true that so many people were not conscious about their inner characters that they were hiding in them. Time and time again, those characters do overpower us and make us commit the bad or good whichever gets more focus or passion from our end. Therefore, know yourself enough and be true and honest with integrity.
