The question \u201cWhy do you want to deal with personal development?\u201d is a very serious one and you need to get an equally serious answer. Most of the people read books about personal development or they attend courses and seminars just because they are free (or very cheap) and because it\u2019s a new social phenomenon that everyone takes part in. That\u2019s why you can\u2019t afford missing out on such an event. <strong>But is this really the essence of personal development?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPersonal development happens the moment you apply what you read. If you just read, without applying, it\u2019s just a lecture.\u201d<\/strong> We heard this phrase a dozen of times, from people who gained real results within their field, people that insist upon the fact that theory without practice is merely theory. If you just read and educate yourself, without actually applying what you read, you will remain a sophisticated poor person. Still poor, but fancy. And when we say this, richness and poorness have little to do with money.<\/p>\n<h3>What are we going to talk about today?<\/h3>\n<p>Today we\u2019re going to talk about the importance of our behavior and the way to react at various day-to-day situations. It is said that life consists of 10% of what happens to us and 90% the way we react to that what happens to us. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so essential to understand what the best way of reacting in our day-to-day life is, according to our principles.<\/p>\n<h2>Where do we begin?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4298\" title=\"The way we react\" src=\"https:\/\/digital-life-solutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dezvoltare-personala-reactie.png\" alt=\"The way we react\" width=\"200\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digital-life-solutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dezvoltare-personala-reactie.png 662w, https:\/\/digital-life-solutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dezvoltare-personala-reactie-276x300.png 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A good starting point is the way we react to those around us. We can begin by noticing the way we react to those around us but also the way those around us react to us. Did it ever happen to you that a person had a reaction that you considered to be inappropriate? There are certainly plenty of those examples. And in this manner we begin our first personal development game:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Write down, on a piece of paper, at least 10 10 types of behavior that you see around you and that bother you;<\/li>\n<li>Once you write this down, be honest and observe those behavior types from the list that you can also notice at yourself;<\/li>\n<li>Obviously, none of us is a saint, that\u2019s why it\u2019s so essential to recognize those behavior types without blaming yourself too much.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The moment you do this exercise, you will become much more aware of these behaviors and of how those around you might feel.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, you will never be able to give up on all these behaviors from the very start, just the way you are not meant to give them up entirely. <strong>Personal development is about balancing the states from our life. Personal development is not about being 100% optimist all the time and it\u2019s certainly not about removing those less than perfect parts of ourselves. Personal development is about accepting who you are and knowing yourself better, in order to be able to grow towards the direction that you desire.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, before changing the world, before changing those around you, begin with yourself. Notice what you would wish to change at those around you and begin by making those changes yourself. Because just by knowing yourself, working at improving yourself, you will be able to change those around you. And this is the real key towards self-development.<\/p>\n<p>These being said, we hope to have come with an easy self-development exercise that you can apply at any time and it has the purpose of helping you become aware of a couple of things about yourself. Whether it\u2019s about your not so great points or about your best ones.
