What is Personality Development? Tips for Personality Development

 “You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.” John C. Maxwell.

Here, he is trying to explain the whole concept of personality development by this single line. By saying this, he wants to say that developing your personality is a step to your success, you can not reach it by collecting ego or by making others feel low.

Personality is the most important aspect of your life. It determines how you react to different situations and it also helps in deciding your career path. Your personality also determines how others treat you and can make or break relationships with people around you.

Personality development is like fine art, where one needs to be skilled to gain desired results. This art can only be mastered by following certain steps which help in shaping up an individual's behaviour and building a positive attitude towards life.

The most important aspect of personality development is positive thinking. Thinking positively is an important part of leading a productive, successful life. Sounds easy but it is not that easy. 

The human brain has evolved to instinctively focus on the negative and dangerous aspects of our world -- this is all thanks to the amygdala, a small almond-shaped section of your brain responsible for your most basic survival instincts.

Probably there are two parts of your amygdala:

•  one focused solely on threats and danger, and 
• another that manages positive emotions. 

For people who wish to create a good impression and feel the change, thinking positively is essential. Such thoughts kill negative thoughts and promote healthy ideas.

There are some inherent problems in the practice of personality development.

•  The first problem is that we often incorrectly equate personality development with personal growth and maturity. Personality is a relatively fixed set of individual characteristics, while personal growth and maturity depend on an individual's ability to change and adapt to new situations. 

• The second problem is that we often fail to distinguish between global personality traits and specific character traits.

Our personality develops as we age. This process occurs over time and is influenced by many factors, including our genetics, our family upbringing, and the environment around us. 

While are preparing to develop your personality, you need to keep some characteristics in mind, such as- 

1.  Free Mind & Spirit 
2.  Positive Thinking 
3. Importance of Ethics 
4.  Flexibility
5.  Honesty.

 These five characteristics will lead you to your final goal. All you need to do is to follow them consistently. Consistency is the key to the door to success. 

In conclusion, personality development is the key to success in life. With the right attitude and a positive outlook on life, you can achieve anything in this world.
