An Introduction to Developing Yourself



Hi and thank you for joining me on the Under Blue Skies blog.  I am Dave and for the last 20 years I have been helping people to become the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.  So I thought it was about time to write a post about Developing Yourself.

So I will begin with something that (to some people) might appear to be a counter – intuitive statement. 

To be successful do not seek success!”

Instead you really need to be concentrating on leading a life of value – make yourself really valuable (think Gold, Platinum, Diamonds etc).

Leading your best life is all about self development and bringing out the best in you, developing your personal skills, growing as a person and increasing your capability.

When you invest in yourself and work towards continually growing and developing, you hold the key to a fulfilling life.

You will need to work on yourself harder than you do at your day job because this will make you more valuable.  Sign up for courses, read valuable books, follow podcasts that contain content that will help increase your consciousness and awareness.

Ultimately you will discover that your thinking will change from negativity and lack and your will become happier and glad that you have decided to work on yourself.

Be Authentic

Being authentic is the most vital and important way to cultivating and living your best life.  It is not living your life for others or changing to fit into the wants, expectations, opinion and commendation of people.

When you live as your authentic self, you will eliminate the competition!

To be authentic means to stick to your values without a shift or influence, it is also having the courage to be yourself. It is important to know that you will attract the right things when you have a sense of who you are.

Authenticity is a positive magnet and we must build it into our lives because it shows your values and belief, and it includes acceptance of the journey of transformation and change.

It is accepting that you have your fears, imperfections and flaws together with those unique quirks that outline you for greatness and never trying to alter them.

It really takes some courage to grow up and become who you really are but the benefits when you do so are amazing. The quality of your life is directly related to the authenticity of the dreams you choose to follow.

I have said many times “stop comparing yourself to others”  It is also time to stop taking on board the opinions of other people, and begin to feel that you are worthy.  Do not allow criticism and negativity to dominate and dilute your authenticity.

Do not swap your authenticity for the sake of gaining the approval of other people.

You really must work to eliminate every form of insecurity that lies under your skin, and become immune to the damning comments of other people by protecting yourself from self-judgment or letting criticism drown you.

Authenticity is vibrant, it makes you stand out with confidence, comfort and can give you the best life experience.

Follow Your Passion

If you are going to do any great work you will need both passion and an audacity such as you have never had before because being passionate helps you to become more creative, and because of that passion you are more likely to take risks.

And that all boils down to one key statement

Passion drives you forwards
