The goal of personal development

 
  The goal of personal development is to become a fully functioning human being. There are many different ways of explaining what that is. However, I really like Wayne Dyer's explanation. He states that a fully functioning human being is someone who:
  • Feels all emotions and responds to them appropriately – they do not have defense mechanisms covering their emotions up, they don’t bury their feelings or take them out on others
  • Embraces change and does what they want to do – they are not controlled by fear or co-dependent on any substance, activity or person for their fulfilment
  • Behaves responsibly respecting the rights of others – they do not criticise or hurt others, if they do accidentally, they admit their mistake and take corrective action
  • Nurtures themselves, looking after their body with good nutrition and appropriate levels of exercise – they do not neglect their body, they love and accept it just the way it is.
  • Accepts themselves as they are and maintains a high level of self esteem – they do not criticise themselves or measure their self worth based on outside sources such as income, status, looks or material possessions
  • Honours their own needs and creates a life that they enjoy – they do not stay in a job or relationship that they dislike, they do not complain and play victim
     
  • Trusts their intuition to guide them forward – they do not ignore their gut feelings or other bodily messages
  • Feels connected to others and the universe – they do not focus just on themselves, but feel a sense of awe and beauty about human beings and their capabilities as well as the planet. They radiate love and have an attitude of gratitude about them
  • Focuses on personal growth for the long term – they do not think there are quick fixes, they recognise that healing and becoming all that they can be are life long quests that lead to great rewards. They love to learn and do so by observing themselves and others, reflecting on their thoughts, reading relevant books, attending seminars, meditating, doing healing work or any other activity that they get drawn to which leads them to greater understanding.
