Positive Steps Towards Personal Development

Welcome all, and we will today carry on from the last post, where we out lined what we will be doing over the next few weeks to get those who are looking towards a more fulfilling life or introducing change, to a starting point of what is required. Some important points you may like to consider & ask questions about to yourself.
  • Am I happy with with my life where it is at the moment
  • How can I introduce change into my life and get better results
  • When will I introduce the required steps needed to alter my course
  • Why do I want to change my life in the first place
  • How do I do this on my own
There are many more such questions that you will need to ask yourself and know what your answers are, as to change will take some commitment , and there will be some set backs from time to time. In other words, you will need to know WHY you are introducing Positive Steps Towards Personal Development when the going gets tough and you want to quit.

A tip for you at this point, when you are asking yourself these questions you must learn to ask quality questions , in order to get quality answers. If you ask yourself questions in a negative way you will only get negative answers and they will bring you down, where as quality and positive answers will inspire and lift you up.
Here are some examples :
  • I can't afford to buy that car...............Negative question
  • What do I need to do to be able to afford that car............Quality question
  • Every body dislikes me................Negative question
  • How can I get them to like me.............Quality question
I hope I have explained that so you get what I mean, it sounds so simple yet believe me just by the way you ask yourself questions will make all the difference to the quality of your answers. You can then make quality and positive decisions based on the quality answers, the alternative is poor and negative questions will always give poor and negative answers which will cause you to make poor, negative decisions.

For a lot of people this would be all they need to learn and the difference it would make in their life would absolutely amaze you over a 12 month period. So I now want to encourage you to think about your life and what you want to achieve from it and if in fact you want to change and achieve more. Get a small note pad this week and write all your questions and answers down for future reference only and keep it private if you like it is only for your reference, later on as we progress through this.

When should you introduce the changes ? well when do you want to start changing and are you serious about changing, I suggest NOW and if not sooner. Please do not be like I and thousands of others, I would continually have great intentions and regularly would say to myself.......next time, start tomorrow, I can't do that, I havn't got time, next year or one day.......This went on for the better part of my life and in fact was the very reason I wanted to change, to shut my negative self up and TRY.

I recommend also you try and be humble enough to let others give you information and guidance as to the best steps to start with, and try to find a mentor as soon as possible. My interpretation of a mentor is some one you admire greatly look up to as a role model and you would like to be similar to or in the same position as . This mentor can be any one any where in the world and you do not need permission to have them as a mentor. You then study them, find out what they did in life to get where they are and you copy or model them , if you are fortunate enough to have a role model as a friend then all the better.

I am giving only suggestions here of how I introduced Positive Steps and Personal Development into my life, I did not do it alone and still seek out those who can deliver me to even greater heights. Now I will leave you all with the second video of Sean Rasmussen interviewing Kerek Ashley about his story of what it takes to be successful . I am one of the fortunate as both these men are my friends and mentors. Video #2


I really hope you have picked up some information here that will assist you piecing together all the steps required to help you along your way and if you feel there may be others who could benefit by these mini lessons, give them the link and invite them also as I would love to show them too the Positive Steps Towards Personal Development. Remember also to always Keep an Open Mind.
