Introductory comments by Royane Real 

The following article by author Dennis McKenzie is a good introduction to the question, "Do we really need personal development?"  

Personal development is a topic that includes a very broad range of areas, such as intellectual exploration, curiosity, emotional healing, human relationships, career, and spiritual growth.

At any given moment, we may be at a point on our path where we prefer to concentrate on only one aspect of personal growth. Later, we may feel compelled to pursue another area.

However, I believe that personal growth and development is the main reason we are here, so it is important for us to follow whatever our path seems to be. 

On this website, I am committed to including a lot of information from many various authors.  When you read their perspectives on personal growth, I hope it will stir you to dig deeper, and search more.

Why Do We Need Personal Development?

By: Dennis McKenzie

Personal development is sometimes referred to as self-development or personal growth, and it traditionally covers a broad set of areas to improve. It is not however something that you gain from formal education, though the process of gathering knowledge is fundamental to growth.

Personal development is a path that you take to better your family situation, career, spirituality, emotional health, and every other aspect of your life. It is the investment into improving yourself.

Essentially, it is about making conscious decisions about everything that you do, the way that you think, and the way that you react to situations. For some, personal development is also a matter of moving beyond past failures and misfortune to see what is possible in the future.

Development process

Personal development can help you obtain everything that you always dreamed of, and more, with the simple application of a few simple mindsets and tools.

Our awareness is a direct result from our personal development. And personally, the need for further growth and development is paramount for your health physically, mentally and emotionally through to all your relationships.

For those who need additional help moving past obstacles and making those changes, a counselor or personal development coach can also be of great worth. One of the most important steps toward personal development is to make your goals obtainable.

Setting Goals

Finding resources to make changes, move past obstacles, set goals, and find happiness is not always easy. Search for quotes stories, tips and ideas to fuel your goals. The key is to consciously act toward goals that will cause you to grow. You must then determine which values, goals and principles you will set up to guide your actions.

For me I choose to remove all the bad programming that has been installed on my "hard drive" (if you will) and install more productive and positive programming to help me move closer to my goals in life. You can also learn how to set and implement realistic goals, develop an increased level of self-esteem and self-confidence.

Keys to Growth

I've found out more about myself by committing myself to personal growth, rather than trying to find myself first and then start developing. I found that my personal growth plan is a useful tool that keeps me focused. 

Develop your personal growth plan, make it a visual poster and hang it up where you can see it daily. Success in an undertaking leads one to gaining more pursuit and a much greater yearning to learn, resulting in growth of motivation directing towards the goal that you have set.

Personal Development is a journey not a destination.

"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness". Personal development is not about reaching a state of perfection; it's about enjoying the process. Personal development is about enjoying your life while keeping conscious track of your decisions on a daily basis in everything you do.

Make no mistake about it; personal development is a lifelong pursuit. Remember that personal development is your key to success and you must make a commitment to practice it daily to see results.
