A story of Personal Growth and The Facts of Life

A long long time ago, way before the creation of skyscrapers and airplanes, three young brothers yearned and dreamed to reach the clouds.

The oldest brother was determined to be the first to reach the clouds. So he gathered up all his money, found the local wise man and said “Here is all that I own, please tell me how I can reach the clouds.”

The wise man took the man’s money and said… “Build a giant sand castle, bigger than any man has ever seen… and you will surely reach the clouds.”

Personal Development- what is it ?

I believe that personal development is a lifelong journey which includes the identification and growth of self by nurturing, defining and bettering your skills, knowledge and interests. The intent is to raise your effectiveness and adaptability, while at the same time to minimize the chance that your skills might become out-of-date or you might become redundant.

In the work environment personal development does not inevitably mean upward movement, rather it’s about enabling you to grow and improve and to reach use your full potential at each career stage. It is about making you a more rounded and balanced person.
The stages of yourpersonal development are usually recorded by way of a plan. Remember that failing to plan has been linked to planning to fail.

A good personal development plan (PDP) involves deciding what you want it is that you want to achieve, where you want to go, and when you want to do it. So it should include both short term and long term purposes, identifying your needs in terms of skills, knowledge or competence. The personalized plan should also specify the development that is suitable to meet those perceived needs. While scheduling and timing (planning) are important, they should not be too regimented.

Healthy Foods - Health is Wealth

I was reading the “Encyclopedia of Whole Food Medicine” and came upon the following incredible information that I believe I should share with you.

Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs.
Today’s research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers.
And how profound is this? It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit.

Carrots - when sliced it looks like the human eye.
The pupil, iris, and radiating lines look just like the human eye…and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

“Today is a check – cash it!

Yesterday is an I.O.U. – forget it!

Tomorrow is a promissory note, don’t bank on it!”

Fear ?

On my personal development journey I can across this which I would like to share with you.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a Child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

By success I mean any success, any small victory or achievement

We all need to celebrate our success even if they start out as is small victories.

Remember this.
