Setting Personal Development Goals

The following article is from the book, Getting Personal: All You Have is Now: How Your Approach to the World Determines Your Destiny by author and speaker, John Patrick Hickey.  To read more from John Patrick Hickey or to get his books, training and book him to speak to your church, business or group, visit our website at www.johnpatrickhickey.com.  

These goals are designed to help you to develop as a success- minded person. Just as a successful business must have a good business plan, you, too, need a good success plan. How will you grow and learn? What books will you read? What is your plan for nourishing your inner self? Philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

Your personal development is far too important to leave to chance. You need to know what you want and what you need to do to achieve it. Some ideas you may want to look at are:

• Learn a language

• Follow a course of study

• Get a degree

• Improve your vocabulary

• Learn a new skill

• Improve your manners or change your behavior

John Dryden said, “We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.”

Personal development and the achievement of your dream will not happen on its own. It takes action and that action has to happen now. Click on the Free Membership button in the side bar and start your journey to achievement today!
