Personal Development And The True Power Of Now
"I can see it now as if it were yesterday. You could be working hard in your job and not getting anywhere because your efforts are being cancelled out by your very own self-destructive thoughts. And I've the results to show for it.

Indeed, the http://www.myrkothum.com/what-is-personal-development/ wartime spirit that galvanized communities together and nations into powerful forces during the Second World War, is nowhere to be seen in a world were obsession with money - whether it's wanting more of it or fearing that you don't have enough of it - is the order of the day, in a society where it is increasingly becoming every man for himself. This is the only time you will know and understand your self better. Being present s what might normally be called 'presence' - the hallmark of all extraordinarily successful people.

Your state of mind is simply a matter of your choosing. Balance in all aspects of life can be achieved through effective management to relieve you from too much pressure. And you're mistaken because http://www.michaeljemery.com/personal-development-coaching the useless, negative, self-sabotaging thoughts that we all have are clouding your subconscious mind and it's through the cloud of nonsense that you see your world. You're going to have to start really looking, really listening, really feeling the here and now. And, so, I come across many people who have convinced themselves that they are developing the mindfulness - but who have ended up simply doing something else mindlessly! I've come across plenty of people who meditate regularly (and, consequently habitually and mindlessly), who tell me that they've never felt as calm and focused in their lives - but, if they were to stand back and take a look at the facts, they would find that their lives are crumbling around them: businesses being let drift on the basis that 'everything is moving in the right direction', relationships where familiarity is breeding daily contempt, people who are seriously unhealthy or overweight or both, people whose lives exhibit none of the concrete results that they should be getting from a proper approach to real personal development - one which is ongoing, evolving and enabling ever-developing personal growth.

Having worked in the personal development field since 1996 - long before it was fashionable to admit to your friends or colleagues that you were 'into it' - I am firmly of the belief that people who read these self help books - and people who are into positive thinking - are not only fooling themselves but are a danger to themselves and those around them. Simply doing one of your morning chores differently will, believe it or not, awaken your slumbering mind to the possibility that you can do anything or everything differently - I've seen the enormous benefits of such small steps - so have my clients. Herein lies at least one of the reasons why we're not witnessing a major shift in the human condition.

Our lives are the product of what we ourselves do to them. How do I know that? Well, turn on your TV, open your newspaper or take a quick glance at the web's chat-rooms and forums. But even though there's no magic button that you can push, even though there your life won't change in a single mouse-click, in fact, personal development or self improvement is a little bit like tuning in an old-fashioned radio.
