The Importance of Personal Development
/
When was the last time you invested in your own personal development? Do you consider practicing self love a pivotal step?
I would argue YES and by the end of my blog post I will make you a believer!
So let’s jump right in to the Top Three Reasons to invest in personal development.
One: It Improves Focus + Effectiveness leading to higher income
The Association for Talent Development (ATD) proved companies that invest in comprehensive training have 218% higher income. When your company sees value in your development of skills to benefit them and you don’t see the benefit of adding personal practices and skills for self gain an internal productivity somethings backwards.
This study proves that when people gain knowledge their value and community value increases. Knowing you’re a wealth of knowledge people are more likely to connect and collaborate with you because your productivity is higher.
Two: You lack the confidence for longevity success
You are 40% more likely to terminate a job when you lack the confidence in your skill set. This was tried and tested as a long-term research project commissioned by Middlesex University for Work Based Learning.
** Even if research didn’t back this up I’m certain your personal life could validate the moments where you gave up quickest were the moments that you felt less qualified to achieve.
The studies correlation was happiness in self-productivity is directly tied to the commitment to longevity.
Sissssss the more training you get in the personal development of your Self-Love and stability the more emotionally stable you are to stay committed to yourself in the long run! Women who do not settle for just “Any” Man is not often times because she is self-absorbed rather she is self-aware!
lastly the third reason to invest in your Self-Love and development is…
Three: You do not want to look back and realize your value is the same today as it was 5 years ago while your peers soar in accomplishing both Professionally and Personally because they first Invested in SELF!
The dominant motivation in the United States is the fear of feeling like you are missing out! It might sound strange and it may seem unrealistic but there is a reason why social media has become the most prominent industry for communication.
45% of the world has some form of social media with 288 million joining in the last 12 months! Influence is power today where as Information use to be the most prominent power. But in order for you to have influence over others or with others you have to be developed and deemed desirable internally!
Here are the Key Point for today’s blog:
Personal development is not just about improving your life by helping you be, do, and have more of what you want it improves your life by helping you cope and understand the necessary skills for what you need!
Becoming a better version of yourself allows you to be more productive not only for you but for your family your friends and your community!
Last but ABSOLUTELY most important how can you give your best when you never train and make time to develop your best in love and development?
If you don’t see the value to becoming better or growing in productivity how will you be any better for those around you than my 3 year old!! YES, There is a lot to learn from our personal lives but there is exponential value gained in shared experience and learning from an expert that has studied growth in the a specific field. You are the only thing you can holistically control. Take ownership of the time and commitment you invest in your greatest resource YOU!
Hopefully you’re a believer now 🙏🏾🙏🏾⬇️
