Nobody wants to be neglected, so each of us tries hard to make him/herself as effective as he/she can. But what if your effectiveness don’t grow with time or you don’t grow professionally. For most of the part this happens because of very slow or no change in various personality aspects. Personality majorly address three areas: behavior, feeling and thinking. And personality development covers all aspects which have been effectively used or can be used for changing it. Personality development is continuous process and involves trying lots of things and coming up with few things which perfectly work for you.
Here are some tips which I feel are very effective.
- Building Effective Surrounding – by choosing your friends, what you read/talk/watch, quotes, posters etc.
- Reading – self-help and biographies. To understand how people succeeded in their lives in spite of tough circumstances.
- Having Guru – Somebody who can always keep you on track. And you can look at him/her for advice.
- Having Role Model - Somebody who you think has achieved what you want to achieve and has power to motivate you
- Enthusiasm – Whatever you do needs to be done with lots of energy.
- Part of Solution - Always choose to be part of solution, what you can contribute to solve the problem is always important.
- Travel – Going new places and meeting new people always gives new perspective.
- Challenging yourself - Whenever possible challenge yourself by accepting new responsibilities. Better to understand limitations.
- Meditation - Very important for understanding your strengths.
Again, remember this is continuous and conscious process, just doing few activities can’t cover everything, it is just about finding the way which will suit best to your personality.
