Good day everyone. Trust we are good.
One of the major responsibility we owe ourselves is personal growth and development.
Is not enough having the knowledge of something but one should strife to be very good at it.
Personal growth and development comes by consistent studying and practicing. Developing yourself in any field, makes you a master or an expert in that area of discipline. Everyone wants the best, so if you aren't meeting up with the people's standard, then you would be skipped for another person who is better. So, to stay at top, you must equip your self as much as you can.
The beautiful thing here is that, the almighty God has given us grace to do whatever we want to, so it's strictly in our hands to achieve anything we want to be.
When you develop yourself very well, you would be very happy with yourself . You would never go begging, because everyone would want to engage your service. Most importantly, you would be able to impact on your world.
SOME THINGS TO DO TO DEVELOP YOURSELF
- STUDY WIDE AND ASK QUESTIONS : You can not be talking of growing or developing yourself without growing your self in knowledge. You obtain knowledge by studying and making findings. The wider your scope of knowledge, the better person you become and hence you have to study wide. You must equally know that, what differentiates you from others is knowledge and how the knowledge is been applied. Successful people don't do different things but rather they do things differently. Asking questions helps to broaden your scope of understanding.
- MOVE WITH THE TREND : By this, I mean you have to keep updating yourself. If you don't keep updating yourself, you would get outdated . No one would want to identify with someone that is practicing with knowledge that's obsolete. Just like in my profession, you would still see people treating malaria with a single agent ,which would definitely lead to therapeutic failure. Modern practice demands that every form of malarial treatment should be combination of at least two agents.
- HAVE A MIND OF TEACHING OTHERS : The truth of the matter is that, the more you have in mind to teach or grow others, the more you would want to keep improving on yourself. Teaching or growing others is one of the fastest means of developing yourself. Infact, it even helps you to always have your stuff at your finger tips.
- UTILIZE THE NIGHT : If you want to be better than your peers, then you must be willing to stay awake at night. To get better, you must be willing to do something extra. However, you must still create time to sleep.
- HAVE MENTORS : The place of mentors in personal growth and development can not be overemphasized . Mentors are there to teach you the best approach to adopt to get best results. There is a saying that " when there is no counsel, the people fall but in the multitude of counsel there is safety.
- EAT HEALTHY AND SLEEP WELL : For whatever thing you want to achieve, good eating habits and good sleep is very important.
