Unleashing Your Personal Development Potential
by: Kori Puckett
You eventually reach a point in your life when you're ready for change and a whole bunch of information that'll help you unleash your personal development potential. Until then, something can stare at you right under your nose but you don’t see it.
For instance, when you look at a painting, you can't really appreciate it when it's just an inch away from your face. But if you look at it from a little further back, you’ll have a clearer vision of the whole artwork.
Most people tend to only think of seeking advice for self help and personal growth when everything gets worse. For example, take the following scenario:
Try placing your finger in a pot of scalding hot water. What happens? You take it out pretty quick. Why? Because you can't tolerate sudden change in your environment, the water's hot temperature.
But try placing your finger in luck warm water and then turn the gas stove on. Wait until the water reaches a certain temperature, then you'll start thinking "Ooh... it's a bit warm in there". Then you'll finally remove your finger.
Generally speaking, people usually behave more like the second example above. We learn our lessons when we experience actual pain. Today, Shannon thinks Clark hates her. The next day, Chris walks up to her and tells her he hates her. Shannon stays the same and doesn’t mind what her friends say. On the third day, she learns that Kimberly and Nathan also can't stand her. Shannon doesn’t realize at once the importance and the need for self improvement until the entire community hates her.
We finally see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and tough. When do we realize that we need to go on a diet? When our jeans and shirts don't fit us anymore.
When do we stop eating or reduce the amounts of sweets we eat? When all of our teeth start to rot and visits to the dentist become more frequent.
When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad and our voice starts croaking.
When do we pray and ask for help? When we realize that we’re just might die tomorrow.
