PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AS A TOOL FOR EXCELLENCE Part 1
Every child of God is wired inside to be their best.
God has planted an instinct of excellence in you.
To have this factor of God manifest externally, you need to discover what you have.
You need to understand that you can become the best version of yourself.
Discover your worth…Discover your skills.
Duet 28:13 confirm this statement:
And the Lord shall make thee Head and not the tail; thou shalt be above only, and shall not be beneath…
Whenever God wants to make something out of a person, He buries the resources inside the person.
So discovering this fact, you begin the process of personal development towards the pursuit of EXCELLENCE.
What is Personal Development?
Personal development is developing your personal growth processes and finding ways to improve and be a better person. It helps us to enhance the quality of our lives, live our best, become better people, and be a better version of what we’ve been yesterday.
It’s a system of personal identification of your skills and turning them around to enhance your results.
It is having a strong desire to simply be the best that you can be.
It is doing something about your results not wanting to be mediocre. Those who are mediocre hardly believe they can excel.
You can have a desire to improve your spiritual lifestyle, academics, relationship, your job, and career, etc
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO BE A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF?
#1 TAKE AN INVENTORY OF YOURSELF
The first step in personal development is to take an inventory of your current results.
Where are you?
You need to ask questions:
-Are you happy with your choices made?
– Are you satisfied with the current results you’ve made so far?
– can you go above the level of the attainments you have made yesterday.
You need to provide answers to this question before you can venture into a successful experience.
