 Remember the buddy system from way back when, maybe during your days at summer camp or school field trips? The idea was that kids would be safer if they were at least in pairs, keeping an eye out for each other. I would like to suggest that all of us who have embarked on the journey of personal development should also be using the buddy system. That may sound a bit corny, but stick with me and I think you’ll see why it makes sense. |
 Let me share with you a little fantasy I have. Don’t worry, it’s not going to be kinky or weird, but hopefully it will get you thinking about personal development in a whole new way. In this fantasy of mine there is a brand new event in the Olympics called… wait for it… Personal Development! Why do I wish personal development were an Olympic event? Think about it. Athletes who aspire to compete in the Olympics put themselves on a very deliberate path of arduous training to get there. They have to single-mindedly pursue that goal and put in hours and hours of hard work to make it happen. I think that’s what each and every one of us has to do in our personal development work if we want to succeed. |
 Whether you’re married, in a long-term monogamous relationship or even just a friendship, building a strong connection to your partner can be challenging. Once we’ve become comfortable with another person, we naturally fall into routines and habits that can tarnish what was once an excitingly bright and shiny new relationship. If we’re not careful to tend the connection, the relationship could grind to a screeching halt, and that can be painful for both parties. If you have your own great tips for better communication in relationships that have worked for you, please share them in the comments area. |
 When you put yourself on the path of personal development, a common result is the realization that you’re ready for something different in the way of employment. You might realize that you want your job to be more in line with something you’re passionate about. This realization can be both liberating and overwhelming, especially if you haven’t been in job-search mode for a long period of time. Where do you begin? In this article, I’m going to give you two great sites for looking at job postings and then give you some advice about writing that all-important cover letter that goes along with your resume when you apply for jobs. If you’ve been through this yourself recently, please share what you learned in the comments area! |
 So we know that life's not simple. It can hit us with tough problems, bad moods and depression. While no human being can prevent life from sending problems their way, still each and every person make choices that can either make them strong or cost them their self esteem. Let’s suppose that two people were in a drowning boat. And let’s assume that 30 minutes later a rescue ship was going to find them by coincidence. Now while both people would make it out alive, the one who cried, collapsed and didn’t act fiercely, would tarnish their self esteem. However, the one who remained strong, will live a proud life. |
