Look Inside and Grow
When considering personal development desiring to place more on a list of personal skills does not necessarily make you a better person. To become a better person you need to improve your inner self - you need to look inside and grow to reach your full potential.
Personal development helps one to become a better person and the definition of growth is one of the first things to consider.
The theory of self-actualization states that in order for human beings to grow to a higher level, they have to get their basic needs satisfied. The basic needs of a human being are: physiological, safety, acceptance or belonging, self-esteem and self-actualization.
With a satisfied hunger, security, acceptance and power, you want to develop stronger ties with others. You start giving more importance to other peoples’ needs and wants. You believe in being committed to a greater cause than yourself.
The reality is that you can be whoever or whatever you choose to be, if only more of us would believe, visualize and act upon this then we would not have the level of apathy we see in our society. Source
