How interesting life is: each of us different time comes to the understanding and realization that the time has come to change something in himself, in his life, in his professional activity. I am glad for those who begin to worry about these issues at an “early” age. And it also happens that after living a long and difficult life, people find the strength to look back, stop and take a step towards what is interesting and exciting. New and unknown.

This means that it's time to take care of yourself and your inner world. What's inside each of us? What's happening? What fell asleep and want to wake you up? What so insistently requires development and continuation?

Do you have a lot of questions? Great! This is where we need to start. The answer to a simple question lies on the surface - from the moment we are ready. Readiness can be determined by the number of questions that arise at certain moments in our lives.

Most of us people living on Earth are dissatisfied with our lives. Someone is not satisfied with their material well-being, someone is dissatisfied with their appearance, someone’s career is not going well... As soon as the degree of dissatisfaction becomes critical, they immediately begin to move various processes motivating us to take action various actions. I think you will agree that in some cases, the inaction of some is also a kind of action. It still needs to be done, too.

Let's talk better about us, those for whom John Newman's words will be key:

“Don't be afraid that your life will end soon. Be afraid that it will never begin.”

The words are wonderful and have a lot of meaning. In our imperfect world, it becomes impossible to live without “special” preparation. The only option is to go with the flow - wherever it takes you.

“Special” preparation is something we must do additionally, on our own. Starting the process of change with yourself. It is no secret that this process can take quite a long time - not days, not months, but years. Perhaps a lifetime. The more interesting life becomes, don’t you agree?

You need to start your self-development only when desire and interest appear. Desire to change. Change what is to what is needed. Let’s call “what is” the foundation. Whether he is bad or good is not so important now. After all, this is what we can do, what we have created and what we have achieved. Let's delve into all this - analyze it, and determine what we should do with all this wealth, and what we want.

Just don’t rush to throw it in the trash - if you look more closely, you can find a lot of interesting and useful things in our further actions. For example, our skills, or long-forgotten talents. If talents are tight, you can try to find yours strengths, read about it.

Now we have three components: our interest, our desire and our skills. There is no need to be intimidated or discouraged about skills and abilities. Even if we do not discover anything in ourselves that could help future changes, we definitely have two key skills: we know how to read and write. And this, you see, is a lot for starting independent development.

Development is a process aimed at changing material and spiritual objects in order to improve them.

Self-development presupposes the direct participation of the person himself in all transformations. In order to begin self-development, you need strong motivation, great interest and a great desire to change what was into what will be.

Do you remember how this happened for you? It’s unlikely that you used a systematic approach, developed an action plan and determined the final goal? I don't argue, without this in modern world I can't take a step now. But still, self-development does not begin with this.

Self-development begins with dissatisfaction with the existing situation and showing interest in the opportunities that you encounter, or that you already know about, and understand that you need it. Self-development begins with the realization that self-development will become a necessary element for achieving goals and success. Self-development should be a natural extension of our almighty “I want!” In this case - I want to know!

For example, I don't know of a way that can force another person to improve his skills and abilities FORCED. Moreover, force you to study. After all, the basis of self-development is self-education. If a person does not have the desire to learn and be taught, it is unlikely that anything useful will come of this venture. You know that yourself. If you are currently passionate about blogging, another person's attempts to get you interested in wood carving will not be successful.

Therefore, the desire must come from the person himself and must be dictated either by necessity or interest.

And then the fun begins. Begins active process absorption of knowledge on the chosen topic. These are books, books and more books. At this time, we choose teachers and mentors whose books we would like to read, whose advice we would like to trust and whose actions we would like to copy. You can find some useful information in the section on my blog.

At this moment, when we are overwhelmed with emotions from what we heard, read and saw, and most importantly, from the changes that we already notice in our heads, I would like to recommend not sharing your impressions with others. Let it be natural process, and let them notice how much you have changed. Then there will be something to talk about, and it won’t look intrusive on your part.

Learn from those who are already pros in your topic. Who has achieved visible results and can teach others. Only from them will you learn what needs to be done to further development and what steps need to be taken.

I'm sure you'll like it. Now that you know where to start self-development, ask yourself, do you want this as much as other passionate people? Children will grow up, work does not last forever, you understand that it is always useful to have a spare tire - something with which we can realize ourselves and our potential on the other side.

We have heard more than once about millionaires who, having gone bankrupt, became them again after a while. Only because they had the skills that allowed them to achieve results again and again. Why don’t we learn this too, have you asked yourself this question too?

While working on my blog, which is a little over six months, I acquired not one, but several professions that I can use if necessary. I have a spare tire and I feel much more confident than before. Do you want the same? Only behind all this is a huge amount of work, invested energy and time. But there is still more to be invested and done. Aren't you afraid?

Then I recommend starting with my blog. In the Tips Box for effective person- only the most useful tips and recommendations on what you need to do to make life and work interesting. This will be a good start.

Finally

So, to summarize, I will list the main points that will help you understand where to start self-development:

  • With motivation

  • From finding your strengths
  • From reading books and studying a huge amount of materials

Tested on many people.

What is self-development

Before we find out where to start self-development and self-improvement, let's think about what self-development is?

Self-development is a very broad concept and each person puts his own meaning into it depending on his value system. Some people understand self-development as developing their business and increasing cash income, someone losing weight, for other people self-development is relationships with people, the ability to love and be happy, communication skills. We can say that a person is engaged in self-development if everyone new day he's getting a little better than he was yesterday. And what kind of person to be - everyone decides for himself.

Whatever goals you pursue, all paths of self-development have one general principle. Self-development needs to begin with this single principle. I will talk about this single principle at the end of the article. And now let's talk about everything in order.

Do not forget download my book

Step 1. Where to start self-development - the current state of affairs

Self-development must begin with a sober assessment of the current state of affairs. It can sometimes be very frustrating to admit that you have a specific problem, but it is a necessary first step. The situation you are in now is the result of your past efforts or lack thereof.

Let's call this situation “point A”.

Practical exercise.

This exercise must be done in writing on paper or in a word processor on a computer. But it's better on paper. Describe your problem in as specific detail as possible. For example, if your problem is low income, then write this: my income is ... rubles (substitute exact figure your income). Or do you have excess weight and you consider this a problem, write down: my weight is ... kg (substitute the exact number of your weight). If the problem cannot be expressed in numbers, describe it in words. For example, when I try to speak English, I get the tenses mixed up.

When you have decided on the problem, you need to understand: what do you want to change in the current situation, that is, set a goal. Goals also need to be set clear and specific. There is a good exercise for this.

Step 2. Set a goal for self-development

Exercise for clear goal setting:

Take a piece of paper and a pen. Now we will describe the ideal experience of achieving a goal. Visualize the day you achieved your goal and describe in detail one specific moment of that day. It's like you're writing a script for a movie.

  • Write what number this is. Place real terms For your own goals, you shouldn’t think that in one day you will lose 50 kg or increase your income 100 times in a month.
  • What time is it now? (not now when you do this exercise, but at that ideal moment in the future).
  • Where are you in this ideal experience?
  • What other people are present in this ideal experience?
  • What are you doing at this moment? What do you feel?

Describe this experience in detail.

Be careful, this exercise is called “goal achievement experience” for a reason. It is the experience that needs to be described, not just an abstract goal.

For example, “I make a lot of money” is an abstract goal. But “I look in mobile app my bank and see in my account $100,000 that I received for the sale successful project, my dog ​​Busya is sitting next to me, and my wife Katya is packing our things into a suitcase, because in three hours we have a plane to the Bahamas, where we rented a house of 120 sq.m. on the seashore for a month...”, etc. it is a concrete experience. To ensure you are doing the exercise correctly, remember that you are writing a script for the director to use to shoot the scene.

We will call this experience of achieving a goal “point B.”

Step 3. Making a self-development plan

So we know where we are and where we want to go. We also defined exact date to which we will come from point A to point B. Now we need to do one more thing practical exercise. We will need paper and pen again. This time we will write an ideal scenario for achieving the goal.

Imagine that you have already achieved your goal in self-development and are at point B, in that ideal experience that you described in the previous step. Now, in your imagination, look from this ideal future, when the goal has already been achieved, into the past and answer the question: how did I achieve this goal? The fact is that if you have a clear goal, your subconscious mind already knows the easiest way to achieve it. You imagine that experience when the goal has already been achieved, but being in your imagination in that experience you understand that all this did not come out of nowhere. Some events must have preceded this experience. And you simply “remember” what happened before. Write down on paper the chain of events that led you from point A to point B, starting with more recent events and moving back in time to earlier ones.

Now you have step by step plan self-development in the chosen direction with intermediate goals.

About this amazing effective system I will write about 100% achievement of goals soon separate article, stay tuned.

Choosing a priority direction for self-development

Now let’s talk about how to determine in which area of ​​life to start self-development, if it seems that there are too many problems: not enough money, and physical fitness I need to improve and learn English. There are so many things to do that you don’t know what to do.

The bad news: you won't be able to get everything at once. And it’s better to set a goal in one direction and gradually move towards it, giving it priority.

The good news is that by regularly engaging in self-development in one area of ​​your life, you will quietly begin to improve in all others.

Each person chooses the priority direction for development himself. For some it is a career, for others it is personal life, etc.

Psychologists identify eight main areas of life that are most important to most people. It is convenient to depict them in the form of a circle divided into sectors. Each sector is allocated to one main life area.

Right now you can rate each area of ​​your life on a scale from 0 to 10 and connect all the ratings with lines. As a result you will see clear example how balanced your life is. Here is one example:

A frequently encountered example of a person who spares no effort in making money, forgetting about health, friends, spiritual growth, and communication with family.

Actually, thanks a huge number psychological research, we can confidently say that a person feels happy when there is satisfaction in all areas of life. There is no point in putting all your efforts into one area and forgetting about others. Yes it can be achieved good luck in this area, but why, if at the same time you feel unhappy? Unfortunately, this is most often understood too late, when precious time is irretrievably gone.

Therefore, it is better to start self-development from the area to which you gave the lowest rating.

20 things you can do in everyday life for your self-development

  1. Read about what you want to improve in your life. Do you want to develop a specific skill? Read about it every day.
  2. Find a mentor. A mentor can be anyone who knows how to do what you want to do. In turn, remember to help those who have less experience than you. Mentoring is by far the fastest way to develop.
  3. Keep a journal at the end of the day. If you're really serious about self-development, you need to constantly know what you can improve about yourself. AND the only way to know this is to reflect and ask yourself every day what and how you can change in yourself to become better.
  4. Create strong habits. It's your habits that reveal your strengths, not the other way around. You can't live one life and expect to have another. Today's habits create your future life.
  5. Find like-minded people. In fact, it is difficult to develop alone. Spend time with people who share your values ​​and support each other. Try to avoid communicating with those who demotivate you.
  6. Create a system of rewards and punishments. This is necessary for those who are struggling with their laziness and bad habits.
  7. Be honest with yourself. No amount of empty talk will lead to change. This is the hardest part. It’s much easier to buy a book about self-development or read an article and tell yourself: “I’m working on myself.” But is anything really changing? Be your own judge. But never judge yourself by comparing with other people. You should only compare yourself to your past self and judge changes objectively.
  8. Find yourself an example. You shouldn’t compare yourself to others, but looking for inspiration for self-development in other people can sometimes be very useful.
  9. Measure your progress. One of my teachers said: if you can't measure the outcome of an action, don't do it. No matter how ephemeral the things you do, you must find a way to measure your progress. This is the only way to know if you are going in the right direction and if you need to turn around.
  10. Regularity is the key. Self-development does not happen overnight. This happens slowly and gradually. Consistent and regular effort is what truly creates significant changes. And this is what makes self-development so difficult. There is no magic pill that you swallow and everything will be fixed. Self-development is a daily routine practice and way of life.
  11. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. Following best time- Now. No matter how far away the goal may seem, start acting now using the resources that you have.
  12. Take small steps. Imagine that there is a long staircase leading to a big goal, and think only about how to climb the next step. It will be a small victory that will inspire you. And then there will be another step in front of you, and another, until you reach the original goal.
  13. Learn from other people. Whatever skill you develop in yourself, there are people who have walked this path and willingly share their experience. Your own experience is a harsh teacher, so it’s better to learn from the mistakes of others. Find a good mentor and read more books.
  14. The world is changing all the time. And you change too. Even if you do nothing, you are forced to change every time the world turns upside down again. This cannot be avoided. Success is achieved by those who adapt to change the fastest.
  15. Take responsibility. You are responsible for your development. You are responsible for where you are now and what you are doing right now. Don't blame anyone, and don't blame yourself. Be aware. Mindfulness is responsibility without guilt.
  16. Be grateful. The nature of our mind is to always focus on troubles. We quickly get used to good things and immediately begin to desire better. Thanks to this we grow. But still, we should not forget about all the good things that we already have. And feel grateful for it every day.
  17. Use the power of intention. If you are 100 percent sure that you want to achieve something, then very soon it will become your reality. The entire reality around you is the result of your conscious and subconscious intentions. The ability to feel your subconscious intentions and “erase” them if they are not leading you where you consciously want to go is an important component of success in self-development.
  18. Set realistic goals. Goals that are too easy will prevent you from feeling empowered and enjoying the joy of success, and goals that are too difficult can drain your confidence. When setting goals, it is important to find a middle ground. Then, when you achieve a goal of moderate difficulty and are confident in your abilities, move on to those goals that previously seemed impossible to you.
  19. Listen to your heart. It is impossible to develop for a long time in an area that you do not like. Choose the path that is in your heart and that aligns with your values. Become a Master on this path so that people around you cannot tell whether you are working or playing, because you are doing both.
  20. Keep going and never give up. The only way to fail at a goal is to give up on achieving it. If you do something and it doesn't get you to your goal, just do something else. Look for new approaches again and again and one day you will find the key to your dream.

Conclusion

And as usual, after a general overview of the topic, I will write my personal opinion. Decide for yourself whether you agree with him or not. I believe that self-development should begin with developing the skill of managing your mind and your attention. In my opinion, this is the basis for the success of any other self-development activity. After all, it is the lack of self-control skills that most often becomes the reason that a person cannot regularly engage in self-development.

How many times have you started losing weight, doing fitness, or teaching? English language and threw it away. In the modern world there are too many distractions: TV series, social media, television, internet, huge stream information and information noise. Thousands of signals around are trying their best to attract our attention and pinch off a piece of energy.

And the most unpleasant thing is that most of This information is simply useless and often harmful. If you hear good information, it means they want to force you to buy something. If you hear any news about events in the world, then they most likely want to intimidate you. And every little bit of information is trying to evoke at least some emotion in you.

To achieve your goals in self-improvement, you simply need to learn how to direct your energy into the right direction, and give a tough rebuff to anything that tries to distract attention without your permission.

And from all this I want to conclude that you need to start self-development and self-improvement with meditation. Meditation is training to control your mind. Meditation is a platform that ensures the effectiveness of self-development, be it studying foreign languages, oratory or physical development. We can say that the mind is a tool that we use to change ourselves. You shouldn’t be like the fool in the parable who spent three hours sawing a log with a dull saw because he doesn’t have time to sharpen the saw. Prepare a good tool first, and then with the help of it things will go much faster.

Developing your mind, the ability to manage yourself, your attention through meditation - this is where you need to start self-development.

everything you've ever dreamed of.

The very fact that you are interested in this topic sets you apart from most people and shows that you have the determination to become a winner and master of your mind, body and character.

The first thing that served as an impetus for me to know myself was the birth of my beautiful, temperamental son;). I started asking questions: how can I realize myself? be an example for your son? how can I become myself best mom, wife, etc.

And you know, after that, Robin Sharma’s book “Who Will Cry When You Die” fell into my hands. This book had a significant impact on me, my thoughts began to change, everything became somehow different.

Where to start your self-development?

I give specific advice on where you can start your self-development:

Read biographies of great people at least once a week, or once a day, as is convenient for you. I recommend mirroring someone who has achieved significant success in your area of ​​interest.

By studying the lives of great leaders, businessmen and other miracle workers, you will quickly see that their results of greatness were achieved through clearly defined goals. For example, on our self-development portal you can learn about the secrets of success famous people and even about the exploits of people with disabilities.

— Sit less in front of the TV, computer, or phones. They take a lot of time. By the way, I would like to point out that television is one of the weapons of politics. I highly recommend everyone to watch it documentary, banned from showing "Prosperity" here is a link to watch it says a lot about political system, about the education system, why the world works this way, etc.

— Listen to motivating music while you drive to work, clean the house, or go somewhere.

— Daily physical exercise, are the most effective means to achieve personal excellence, set aside at least 15 minutes. Swim, run, ski, ride a bike, just breathe fresh air etc. Physical perfection precedes spiritual perfection.

- Relaxation of body and mind. It is very important to set aside time every day to relax and calm your mind for at least 10 minutes. This could be stretching, yoga, meditation, qigong, contact with nature, self-massage. Make this practice a habit.

- Think positively. Your level of success is determined by how you think every second of every minute of every day. Your thoughts shape your world. Develop the habit of positive focus.

“A person should not allow himself to be blinded by the clock and calendar and forget that every moment of life is a miracle and a mystery.” H.G. Wells

— Discipline and willpower. Read about the life of Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, Bruce Lee, Coco Chanel and you will understand what willpower into action means.

- Be sure to plan your day. Keep a notebook, write down your action plan for the week, month and even for the year.

— Get up early in the morning. Go for a morning jog, start running once a week to begin with, then start alternating every other day. Morning running, warm-up, yoga, it doesn’t matter what exactly, but it gives such a boost of energy for the whole day! Get yourself a partner with a similar goal to achieve physical perfection.

In order to develop the habit of getting up early, you must first remember that it is the quality of sleep, and not its duration, that plays a primary role.

- Believe in yourself! “Don't be afraid of life. Believe that it is worth living and this faith will help make it a fact.” William James

Use the self-hypnosis method (repeating an idea out loud) throughout the day.

- Find like-minded people. Attend self-development courses, go to meet-up clubs where you can exchange information, motivate yourself in any way!

- Laugh more. Daily laughter lifts our spirits, promotes creativity and energizes us.

— Use various pictures to develop yourself of what you would like to achieve. It could be some kind of sport, a car, a happy family, house, etc. Stick them around the house and just look at them.

- Use imagination and visualization methods to imagine yourself as you want to become. It is advisable to do it in the morning and before bed for 10 minutes.

- Always be grateful. Thank you when you wake up, thank you when you eat, thank you when someone wants to help you.

How long does it take to develop yourself?

I think from the information received you have found something close and useful for yourself. For further, constant development you need “Kaizen” in Japanese means constant, continuous improvement. As Confucius said " Good people continually improve themselves."

Therefore, we can say that the problem, in fact, is not at all to begin to develop yourself intellectually, physically, spiritually or emotionally, but to not lose this craving for constant self-development throughout your life and feel the need for this as early as possible .

Make a decision today that you need to change your lifestyle, program yourself to absolute success and self-confidence. Write down on paper what you need to work on, promise yourself that you will do it!

The need for spiritual and physical development no doubt. Their parents are concerned about raising young children. An older person builds himself as a person. But how to organize this process correctly, where to start self-development?

About self-improvement

What advice can you give to someone who has decided to improve themselves? First, you need to figure out what exactly he is going to improve, what the meaning of the concept of “self-development” is for him. Modern tendencies This term often means the opportunity to become successful. Not smart, not kind, not talented, but simply someone who has achieved some success. But is this the goal we really need to strive for?

Let's think for a moment: geniuses and simply successful people of yesteryear did not read self-development books! But this did not stop them from achieving remarkable results. Moreover, it is difficult to imagine psychological training, capable of making an artist talented, or a self-development brochure that allowed a scientist to make a brilliant discovery. Without a doubt, each of the realized individuals worked a lot on themselves, but it was unlikely that these were techniques similar topics what is recommended today.

About the goals of self-development

An artist who paints his canvases, a writer, a sculptor - before they even start work, they already imagine the desired result. And the scientist, approaching his discovery, sees before himself a cherished goal: a new device, a proven theorem. Anyone thinking about how to start self-development must also imagine what results he wants to achieve. Without realizing this, it is stupid to begin the process of your own restructuring.

There is no need to remind once again about the need for physical improvement: the phrase “In healthy body healthy mind" speaks about this quite specifically. As for other types of improvement, 30-40 years ago the ideas on this matter were different. To the question of what to do for self-development, answers would be given that are fundamentally different from modern ones. However, a person working on himself would then also be sent to literature - to the works of the classics.

Jack London. "Martin Eden"

Unlike modern psychologists, who present detailed algorithms of where to start self-development, classic literature does not give specific advice. She simply invites a person to think, to understand his own soul. And also try to answer main question about why he is on this earth, what is the meaning of the life given to him.

Jack London's novel Martin Eden can easily be called a self-development textbook. A young boy, a sailor, having fallen in love with a girl from another circle, begins to work hard on himself, learn and improve in order to be worthy of his beloved. And this brings generous results: the former sailor becomes famous writer, a rich man. But the once-desired success does not give Eden satisfaction, and even passionate feelings leave him. Our hero understands that the beautiful image of his beloved that he drew was just a beautiful dream, and real girl limited and selfish.

And what is the result? After all this grandiose work on himself, Eden is left with only bitter disappointment and a persistent reluctance to live. The author is certainly proud of his hero and his desire for excellence. But the novel also speaks of an incorrect arrangement life priorities, and about man’s tragic attempts to comprehend life and himself in it.

About books

There are many works in the world that help people understand the essence of the universe. But, perhaps, the best books on self-development are the immortal works of Leo Tolstoy. These are the deepest reflections on morality and faith, on feelings and duty, on heroism, compassion and love. Tolstoy's descriptions and his conclusions are akin to reasoning the best psychologists guiding their clients through life.

But what does self-improvement have to do with it? There is a wonderful and very correct phrase “The soul must work!” The works of Tolstoy and other classics, passed through the mind and soul, are the best answer to the question of what to do for self-development. In the process of reading, the soul becomes purer, the mind becomes brighter, and the person becomes better.

About life approaches

Why does a person live? The following phrase was once popular: “Man is born for happiness, like a bird is born for flight.” But now these words are hardly remembered; they do not fit well into the current coordinate system. Happiness is a fragile concept and difficult to teach. It's a matter of success! Successful people in full view of everyone, they are worshiped, envied, and tried to imitate. Fashion trend began to teach to be successful: the goal of all trainings and seminars on personal development is precisely this attitude. But how correct is this?

The richest man of our time, Bill Gates, wrote a will according to which his children receive practically nothing. What is this - a whim, tyranny? Or, on the contrary, fatherly wisdom, the desire for happiness for one’s own children? It seems to be the latter.

Money by itself has never made anyone happy. It is unlikely that Gates, on the approaches to the heights, racked his brains over where to start self-development and how to achieve success with its help. His life was simply interesting and fulfilling, consisting of favorite things and the discoveries and disappointments that accompany any work, achievements and failures. In this life there was a thirst for victory and excitement, probably happiness. Leaving your children only money, depriving them of the need to move forward and truly live, means making them deeply unhappy. Gates realized this in time.

And again about happiness

For many, there is a clear substitution of concepts, and success becomes an end in itself. In fact, the psychology of a person’s self-development should be based on his desire for happiness. Success can only be a partial, accompanying result. Example: a girl wants to get married, she is only interested in “princes” (by the way, a considerable part is devoted to this very thing - to teach young people to always achieve their goals). And, let’s even say, for our heroine, armed with the advice of professionals, everything works out - the “prince” is with her. But will this bring them both happiness? Will their home become warm, will love and joy settle in it?

But in real fairy tales everything is different. Folklore characters dream exclusively of love and strive for it, sweeping away any obstacles. Is this why the endings of fairy tales are much better than those that await us in real life?

What should I do?

If you don't put your specific purpose achieving success, then what to do? Sit down, like the legendary Emelya, on the stove and wait for happiness to come? In no case! It is unlikely to visit lazy people with empty souls. The path to happiness is hard work, it is an attempt to understand and change yourself in order to become better. Where to start self-development? From books and music, the perception of beauty (it’s not for nothing that it is said that beauty will save the world!). Also from trying to understand the people nearby, from the desire to improve life around (difficult in an inharmonious world!).

Self-improvement involves serious work on yourself, and in this matter, the recommendations of specialists will be more than appropriate. Of course, not all. Instructions to achieve success at any cost and to walk towards your goal almost over corpses will never make a person happy. Only those tips that contribute to real improvement of human qualities will be useful.

It's no secret that people are born different. Absolutely everyone needs wise teachers, even the strongest and most talented. But in one case, the role of adviser will take on good book, and in another, a person needs serious outside help.

What do psychologists tell you? How to start self-development correctly? Although the methods of specialists sometimes differ significantly and are far from indisputable, a number of recommendations are still worth taking note. For example, to get to know yourself, try to understand your goals and desires, soberly assess your strengths and weaknesses, so that you can then work on both, improving as a person. Any person has a limit to his capabilities, but self-development allows you to push boundaries and accomplish what seemed impossible just yesterday.

Psychologists have a lot in stock practical advice. For example, discover something new every day - the process of self-development is endless. And also break a big goal into stages so that the process of achieving it does not seem so difficult.
