Three Things Thursday: Personal Development

Posted on January 19, 2012 by tania

“Your net worth never exceeds your self-worth so your best investment is personal development” – Robin Sharma

3 ways to invest in personal development:

  1. Read. There are so many good books. I just invested in the following: Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl and The 5 Levels of Leadership by John C. Maxwell
    My top 3 personal development authors are Robin Sharma, Brian Tracy and Swami Rama
    Have a favorite book or author? Please leave a comment with the details.
  2. Take courses. From webinars to retreats there is a workshop for everyone and every interest.
  3. Take time for recreation, as in re-creation. Don’t wait until you get overwhelmed. Make the time to recharge. We all have our unique ways of nurturing ourselves. Choose your ideal way and make it a priority.

    We fully agree and pratice your 3 recommendations in seeking quality of life….

    One of our favorite inspiring authors is Thich Nhat Hanh….in his book The Art of Power he describes the five spiritual powers:
    - The Power of Faith
    - The Power of Diligence
    - The Power of Mindfulness
    - The Power of Concentration
    - The Power of Insight
    This is an excellent read…..

    Man’s Search For Meaning is a powerful book. I read it over 10 years ago and I can still vividly remember the way I felt reading that book.

    Regarding favorite authors, one of mine is the late Jim Rohn. I still quote wisdom today I learned from him.

    Regarding your 2nd point about taking courses and such, you might be interested to check out GrowthNotes.com. It is a personal development system I’ve been working on for years. It’s got a little bit of everything. Where it really excels is in providing a daily process to follow. I have found that a lot of personal development wisdom stays with us for a few days and then fades away. My goal with GrowthNotes.com was to provide a daily routine that would continually reinforce intentions and help us stay focused on what matters most. If you end up giving it a try, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Here is a code that will grant you 6 months free: 6526-53-5744.

    I like John Maxwell also but I have not read The 5 Levels of Leadership. It’s going on the reading list. Many thanks!

    With respect,
