Personal Development that Transforms
When you want to make the most of your life, self-improvement is the way to go. For me self-improvement in itself has an important supporting role because it’s not giving us meaning, but enhancements to be better at what we set out to do. So self-improvement is all about learning, communicating with others and increasing your abilities in all areas of life: especially your mind by developing your mental focus up to a point of reaching the flow state. Working on your body and your energy level is very helpful as well. Eventually self-improvement will help you to really be the best you can be and to express your full potential.
There it was, the moment in which I made my exit after conversing with a beautiful girl for the past 30 minutes.
The time came and I already had mentioned I needed somewhere to be, so now’s the time to get the number; it’s either now or never. You know you’re never going to see her again.

Self discipline is something you just can’t neglect if you want to succeed in any major venture in life. A very interesting thing to note is that while you can achieve any goal with nothing but only self discipline, you can hardly achieve anything at all without self discipline.
I love this definition of self discipline: “Self Discipline is taking action irrespective of your emotional state.” Let’s take a greater look at why self discipline is so important…
Still looking back at my last year and inspired by a post by Manal Ghosain, I wanted to reflect on why I wasn’t fully happy with my personal productivity last year. I think it can be really revealing to ask deep questions about what I did in the past. My goal is always to get new insights and to profit from them now and in the future. And I think there are patterns that apply to all of us.
Not being as productive as I could comes down to not spending my time where I should, according to my set priorities.
Why am I doing that? Because I lack self-discipline. It means that still I’m saying “yes” to things that are not important.

We live in a busy world where multi-tasking is the norm. This is especially true for today’s parents, who must juggle work, childcare, extracurricular activities, exercise, errands, housework and playtime. It’s really no wonder that parents feel stretched for time, especially in a society that views intensive parenting as the norm. The journey to a healthy lifestyle begins with habits. Building healthy routines doesn’t necessarily take extra work, but it does require extra attention.

I personally love learning new things. Well thinking about it, that’s not entirely true. I love learning relevant new things. Having to learn irrelevant knowledge (as in my university) is not only boring and a waste of time, it almost feels like torture. This post is inspired by a comment on my article about the 10 best self help books ever. Thanks to reader Suhel I’m discussing the topic of how to read books.

Have you ever noticed that the way you perceive the world is largely dependent on your inner state of mind? Can you remember how disturbing or even alienating everything around you can be if you are in a bad mood? On the other hand there is this state where everything just seems to flow. Having control over your inner state and being able to change your mind fast is a powerful ability. It can save you time and help you to refocus on what takes you forward.
